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.
