Then just take the kids who have enough points and want to get more matches in. Emporia sends their varsity to the Centennial League and then their JV to the Chase County league tournament. Saint James could just take their JV kids to the league tournament.

How many of the weight classes at the Desoto 4a regional will have 16 competitors?

I would say 9?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say ZERO. Looks to me like there are 15 teams at this regional. . . . .

A quick review of the KSHSAA web site reveals only 15 teams listed in each regional. That must mean that only 60 of 64 schools in 4A have wrestling?

Yea, Will, we have had only 15 in our Regional several times.


. . .

LOL

How many brackets will have 15 entries?

Which four schools don't have wrestling programs??

Hayden is one, right?

...

I can only find three KWCA Website has 61 schools listed that have wrestling.
Girard
Kingman
Wichita-Trinity Academy

Regional Assignments only have 60 schools listed not listed teams
Girard
Kingman
Wichita -Trinity Academy
Haven

Haven co-oped with somebody...I thought

Andale I believe.

On the KWCA website Haven is listed as a Coop with Andale but they are not listed on the teams attending Regionals in Pratt.

They would go their own way at regionals which I believe would be a 3-2-1A regional.

They are a 4A school how could they go to the 321A Regional?


Better yet one of the following two things has happened
1. The State messed up and forgot to list them at the Regional
2. When they cooped with Andale no kids decided to Wrestle meaning they would not have a team.

Haven did not end up co-oping with Andale this year.

So they found a coach and had a program?

I don't think they had a program this year. I am not 100% sure, but think they only had about 4 kids wanting to wrestle, and the Haven BOE wouldn't fund the transportation to and from practice. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

Thanks, to my knowledge that is the first program we've lost in awhile in the state. I hope we can say the same at this time next year.

Notes and observations from the De Soto regional:

SJA's tough scheduling appears to be paying off as they are in tight contention with Eudora for a regional plaque.

Cokeley v. Weller should be a dandy of a finals match at 145.

Feist of SJA must have ripped two-dozen phonebooks in half to get in shape for regionals. He comes into the finals with an 11-12 record, likely because he's had to wrestle the best of the best. One thing is for sure he is on a tear with three straight pins in the 171 bracket.
