Texas wrestling is much better than it was even a few years ago. And remember, Amarillo Tascosa takes claim to an Olympic Champion now. I believe that KSHSAA does take an unrealistic approach occasionally by not allowing a Kansas school to travel more than 150 miles out side of the borders unless competition cannot be found any other way. At the GC tournament, Parker Ponderosa (Denver area) had already competed in the Iron Man and Reno tournaments. Some of their kids with 5 or 6 losses were studs. I really hate to agree with gutwrench on this, but I honestly believe that for Kansas' best kids to compete on a national level, they have to compete nationally. Thats a simple statement, but it's the truth. That, and one of our major colleges has to add a wrestling program to keep our best kids home. We could compete very well of we got the best that Kansas has to offer to stay home.
