I don't understand the point of this post.

IM SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OWWWWWWWW MY HEAD!!!!!!!

What is confusing about it?

The point is to provide data for which state is putting out the most wrestlers from the high school ranks that are able to move on to collegiate success.

I have for a long time felt Pennsylvania is the best youth and high school wrestling state in the nation. This point system helps prove that point. Year in and year out PA proves themselves at the cadet and junior level, and every year they have numerous nationally-ranked high school teams. College rosters are full of PA kids. They also may possibly have more collegiate programs than any other state in the nation, I think they have 15-plus NCAA Div. I programs.

It is nice to see this many Kansas boys in the national tournament! I think all of them have a great chance to do well. Good luck!

GO KANSAS!
