I am mainly talking about the State Tournament, as when we go dist 1 against 2 and 3 against 4 for instance, alot of times the championship is wresteled in the semi finals match, this is really unfair for the kid that got 3rd, when he/she is actually the 2nd best wrestler in the state.
I also realize that the 2nd place finisher, is down, but all the national tournaments have a challange, and the wrestler has to be ready for the next challange, that is just part of our great sport. Why can't we have a challange at state? Lets make it a true second!
I would really like to hear feed back on this issue from members of our state board like comments from Mr. Juby or Mr. Grater, as they do a fine job running our kids programs and it would be nice to hear there opinions.
