Okay well no disrespect to either of these tournaments, but they don't really compare. Don't get me wrong their are a lot of great wrestlers and teams there, but it just doesn't quite match that of Bashor or Newton. Here's what i mean:
Liberal: 4 Top 10 ranked teams: Garden City, Goodland, Ulysses, and Ponderosa CO. Plus there are 17 Kansas Ranked wrestlers. I can't pull up Ponderosa's, but i'm sure that their are 5+ since they're the top ranked team in class 5A Colorado.
Hays: 6 Top 10 ranked teams: Campus, Goodland, Ulysses, Shawnee Heights, St. Francis, and Oakley. Plus there are 41 ranked wrestlers here.
So based on the criteria that i used, though tough tournaments, they just don't quite stack up to the Bobcat Classic, or Newton. But then again that could be just my personal opinion. I'm just going off the criteria of Top 10 ranked teams, and number of currently ranked wrestlers participating.
