Having the three state tournaments at one site is not a "big event" or a glorifying experience, it is a a big clustered joke. I do not think this is badmouthing wrestling in other classes, but as a coach, I don't even get a chance to see any of the 5A and 6A tourneys. Our coaching staff is focused on our kids and the 4A tourney and trying to win a state trophy.
Bottom line is--the 4A tourney by itself is better for 4A teams and wrestlers and that is what I care about. What we get to "experience" with the three classes together is not wrestling heaven, it is a whole lot more like hell. The problem is it is just too much at one place for the people running the tourney to treat everyone like they deserve to be treated at STATE.
