the problem with the metro is that KS best is in the west and MO best is in the west. so you get the weaker part of KS against the better part of MO

all 3 class MO state champions are from the metro and of the top 15 teams, 9 are from the metro

KS had a down year. all the good wrestlers from the metro on the KS side are juniors and sophs.

oh well, it is a fun event to go see and gives wrestling more hype
