I am very disappointed to find out that the state tournament would still be split up. To find out that 2 of them will be in high school gym's is ridiculous! I went to Wichita on the friday of state and Salina for the saturday of state (because I'm from 4a) and was also told it was a temporary thing. Not one single person I have talked to agrees with the seperating of 4a from 5a & 6a. Some people say it's all about the atmosphere; yes in a way it is, but that would be selfish of us spectators. Alot of those good wrestlers get noticed by collegiate coaches because of our combined state venue. I agree that we need some people that will work and fight to find a way to get it back the way it used to be. Yes 4a is fun to watch, but there are also remarkeable wrestlers in 5a & 6a that many fans go to watch and it is very disappointing when you are limited to only one class.
