Regional Assignments

When are they releasing them?

I believe they were asking schools this week who was interested in hosting. So once everyone accepts it should get announced. I’d assume next week

Per KSHSAA wrestling weekly announcements (12/07/22):

REGIONALS: The KSHSAA plans to release regional assignments next week. We are struggling to secure all the host sites, but will release them next week, even if all the sites have not been secured.
Boys Classifications:
6A = 36 schools
5A = 36 schools
4A = 61 schools
3-2-1A = 92 schools
Girls Classifications:
6-5A combined
4-1A combined

Did any schools move up or down this year?

Sites are out for regionals

I wish KSHSAA would break down where they split 4a and 321A.

Also, what a crime by putting a big chunk of full teams in Beloit for 321A.

The 321A western Kansas split is a lot better than it has been. This is the most split up the MCL teams have been in a long time.

I didn't think Marysville would go 4A.

Not one team in the western half of the state had a "full" roster last season in 321A. Sabetha and Silver Lake were the only teams to field a full team of 14 starting wrestlers at Regionals in 2022. The one team west of Salina to field a roster with at least 12 wrestlers during Regionals was Hill City.

I'd think you'd be happy that Hoxie got sent south to the Larned Regional. That's going to make it a lot easier for the other teams at the Beloit Regional to get some qualifiers considering Hoxie has 10 currently ranked wrestlers and few more who could make an impact.

The real crime might be that KSHSAA made Hoxie drive 10 miles further away from home, possibly leaving the Beloit Regional with about 12% fewer State placers and seven fewer possible State finalists. Sounds to me you should be thanking KSHSAA.

When is the last time Hoxie and Oakley weren't in the same Regional as Norton and St. Francis when all of the schools were in the same classification? Kinda makes a fella wonder.

I agree.

Easy there Squirrely Bob!

It would appear Halstead is the largest 3,2,1A wrestling school with 239 students.

I knew I could count on you to understand the assignment!
