Let me add that the powerlifting folks would probably get a lot more participants if they had it later in the spring, AFTER wrestling is over, so kids are back to full strength.....
Might have been part of the problem with the plan to add HS kids to Kids state series. Too far away from the end of HS season, so a lot of them don't do it. Out of shape by then, gained too much weight, etc. etc....If it were closer to the end of HS season, maybe more of them would have participated in it. This weekend is the best weekend to do it, so there should be no excuses about being out of shape, not cutting, cutting too much, etc. for those that go and compete. I am typically an opponent of USAWKS interference in local tournaments BUT I could support a ban on sanctioned tournaments the day of high school state and/or the day of a defacto Grand State. This would in effect, shorten the youth season some want.

Noone had even brought up that point.....no hard feelings if your kid doesn't make the dual team, when he had a chance to go and leave no doubt.
Another good point.
Good luck, slap Phippen for me.......

We will never shorten the Kids season until we end the state series on an earlier date. I do agree with your pints Sportsfan but those are fund raising opportunities for clubs and the idea being to get kids to attend HS state may work but doubtful. Until KSHSAA goes to Iowa and sees what a REAL HS state tournament looks like we will continue to have dismal attendance. I like the idea of merging 5A and 6A and then join 4A & 321A to have two classes and have 8 regionals. That qualifies two brackets of 32 for state, hmmm, the same number of wrestlers we have today! Place 8 and have a 3 day, two class tournament with final Saturday evening. It would be a real SHOW then. We might even have some college coaches attend. Now that we have a dozen or more programs in KS, maybe we should listen to the college coaches for suggestions.

The strength of Kansas wrestling has been for some time, our clubs and the quality of our high school coaching. Anything we do to lessen either of those will only hurt us in the end.

Fowler and cook at 182 is the only potential champ vs champ match up I recognize. Hope to see more of these in different weight classes on sunday.

There is absolutely no excuse to not show up to this event unless you have a funeral to attend for an immediate family member! If you think you are the best prove it! Talk is cheap! Taking time off if not injured does nothing beneficial at this point in the season. This should be one of your last folksyle tournaments of the year. Then you should transition into Freestyle/Greco in order to GET BETTER! If you have GOALS of becoming one of the best and competing competitively in College and you are not doing these things then you are kidding yourself!

GRAND STATE is here! It's time to settle the issue of 56 state champions in Kansas.
Remember that the top NAIA coaches across the nation will be in Topeka! I predict this event will get bigger and better each year. Get registered today to see who really is the BEST in Kansas!

I find it funny all the parents on the forum through out the season complaining about where their kid was in the All-Class, how someone should be higher, how there is more 5A than 321A or 4A or it is easy to win a state tile in 4A than 6A Blah Blah Blah Blah. STOP COMPLAINING AND PROVE IT.
They listened and created an event to settle everything and find out the overall Champion. You arent signing up. That is sad.
And do not say you didn't know about it. Kids were talking about it way back at BL Tournament and the Paola Tournament. A majority of the kids knew.

I've taken several calls from folks "waiting to see who signs up". I've asked them to get signed up because if everyone waits it becomes a stalemate!
If you are one that is waiting, get to it and get signed up!

I find it disappointing that this got set up and the number of participants is lacking. Come on wrestlers an opportunity is in front of you, and may not present itself again! Another weekend of wrestling keeps you in shape for USA wrestling state and the many national tournaments in the weeks ahead.
