I do not neccessarily know if combining 5 and 6A would even out the "elite" wrestlers. The theory makes sense but part of why some of the records for the 5 and 6A guys seem less flashy than others can be explained to a dgree. At least on the east side of the Topeka line on over a lot of these "elite" guys beat up on one another throughout the season. Also, some of the bigger schools in the Kansas City area wrestle in some big tournaments and even cross over the state line into Missouri for some tourneys and matches. Even the 4A and 5A schools had some big time meets this year. The Dick Burns Mat Classic in Bonner Springs touted several wrestlers in 4A, 5A and 6A who all made the state tourney. There was even a team there from Nebraska. Also, the Basehor Linwood Classic was even bigger and had several state qualifiers. Additionally, the Johnson County Classic, Olathe North Invite, WyCo meet and a few others. I'm not saying combining or going to a Grand state is a bad idea, this is just an explanation as to maybe why the records seem skewed. I know the same can be made about a lot of the west side teams beating up on the same guys all throughout the season. Just an opinion!
