I agree with Mr Mann. We will need alot of luck. This issue has be pitched to Kshsaa for decades and has fallen on deaf ears! They say the travel, out of school time and the expenses to the schools warrant them not mixing sides of the state up. And in addition to that, you would be hard pressed to find very many teams from out east that wants to take their chance in the "Western Half Meatgrinder"!! At one time the west teams offered to pay the expenses for the East teams to come west. Not much traction there!!
Now in defense of the "East" They are much more competative than say 15-20 years ago. I feel alot of that is due to more year round wrestling and more workout partners available out East. And the "Western Wrestling" influence that has migrated eastward with more and more coaches from out west moving east to teach and coach.
What could we pitch to Kshsaa that would peak their interest is the $64 question!!!
