"Ok, just get over it. Yeah, the Norton regional was pretty tough, but if someone can't place at their regional, they wouldn't place at state. Period. End of story."

pups4ever --you are brillant as stating the obvious, and over looking it at the same time. Obviously, if a wrestler doesn't qualify at a regional they can't place at state. The point is that there are wrestlers who got beat out at Norton who would have not only placed in your regional but who would have wrestled for the championship. Your wimpy regional was about as tough as most jv tournaments in NW Kansas.
