Some very interesting ideas and a wonderful topic. I will be the first to admit I do not have the solutions but can maybe clarify a few things. The KSHSAA is very clear that they want to get the best wrestlers from the four regions of the state-not necessarily the best wrestlers (at the state tournament). Also by dividing the state up geographically they think they aresaving schools money by reducing travel distances. We all know this is not always true but that is their position. Ask Rick Bowden if you do not believe me.
