Will after giving a lot of though to your post I think what you say makes sence in consolidation to help the schools have more kids so wrestling can become a sport in those schools, how ever some schools do not want to consolidate so that being said the boys that do want to wrestle can not go to other schools to just wrestle so where do we go from there?
In big towns in kansas kids can and do move around to other schools so they can have a chance to go out for sports and have a good chance to wrestle but like you said in eight man football most schools can not field a wrestling team so its hard for kids to wrestle. A lot of kids wrestle in the kids program but not in high school because its not offed there.
When my boy Don was wrestling in high school we had a driver ed teacher from Topeka teaching it durring the summer and he was trying to talk my son and three other boys to come to Topeka and wrestle for his school and he even had a place for them to live, and this goes on a lot when you have three or four high schools in a city the size of topeka or kansas city.
