The part I think is really funny is that most of those posts come from towns that are not 5 or 6A. What is the problem. If you are not involved in it or your town is not affected in any possible way then why are you so opinionated about it. That would fit nicely into that none of their business catagory wouldn't it?
HA! I believe most quotes come from schools in 4-3-2-1a because they are the wrestlers recieving unfair treatment.
The problem is that only 25 percent of these kids qualify for state where as 50% of 6-5a kids qualify. If 6-5a doesn't want to join classes together to make things fair, then maybe Kansas should look at two alternatives.
1) split 4a and 3-2-1a into TWO more divisions so that 50% of the wrestlers qualify.
2) allow 32 state qualifiers instead of just 16 in the 4a and 3-2-1a divisions so that 50% of the wrestlers qualify.
I understand from previous posts that 6-5a wrestlers with 6-30 records deserve to wrestle at state because it is good for self-confidence, helps make money, etc. So why can't 4a and 3-2-1a wrestlers get the same oppurtunities they would get if they wrestled at a bigger school? Its ignorant to say things are fair and settle it with a grand state blah blah blah. (Grand State is another topic altogether which would not settle the issue of whether or not its easier to get to state in 6-5a)
These 4-3-2-1a kids complain about unfair treatment because they are getting left at home with 30-5 to 18-18 records where as over 20 kids in 5a alone qualified for state with losing records. I know lots of non-state qualifying wrestlers from 4321a who not only beat qualifiers from 6-5a but also beat state medalists. So yes it is these kids buisness about how easy it is to qualify at 5-6a when they are "often" the tougher wrestlers but left at home with a broken heart.
AND it is also unfair to seed 6-5a wrestlers with losing records over 4-3-2-1a kids with winning records just because the 6-5a kid was a state qualifier the year before. Yea i am done ranting now.
