coachtwink- very well said. And yes there are some boys sitting at home from the NT regional that would have placed 5th or 6th at state. I know of at least 2 wrestlers that are not going that beat the No. 1 finisher from another regional. As far as the argument of who is to say in 10 years people might be complaining about the NT regional being the weakest nobody can see into the future. However for the past 30 years the regional with the most NW teams has been the toughest so why would that change?
