Hey guys,
Just want to clear something up about the Montana system of using the varsity and jv to qualify for state.....
The reason MT does that for their AA schools (same as 6A in KS) is because they only have 13 AA schools. So in order to have full 16 man brackets at the state tournament, that is the system they implemented. Way back in the OLD days (when I was there) we had 16 AA teams and we only took varsity wrestlers to the state tournament.
Having said that, when I first saw the system I was skeptical of it. I thought the same things about going overboard to let everyone qualify, etc. Once I saw it in action, I changed my opinion, mainly because I saw how it helped in a lot of cases on reducing the weight cutting. For example, if a team had 2 of the top kids in the state at one weight, they would wrestle one up a weight for the majority of the season. At state they would put both wrestlers at the same weight. This really helped the kid that was one of the top 2 wrestlers in the state in that he could still place at the state tournament, yet he didn't have to wrestle up a weight or try to really cut to make the next lower weight.

Unless Cody switches to Swiss Cake Rolls I think he will be wrestling 135 but I wouldn't be surprised to see him at 140. All fun aside, he will be super tough no matter what weight he wrestles and I would consider him a contender for the top spot on the podium.

I don't believe allowing two guys at a weight is a proper solution to the problem. In my opinion, lets drop a middle weight and add 235 or 240 and allow for more of those kids to show up. If I really had my way, I would just drop 103 period for the fact that the majority of kids entering high school and attending high school have to still make a big cut to make 103. Kids are bigger now as their diets make them bigger. Drop 103 Add 235 Also: If I have a suprise high profile move in coming will someone please let me know! I work at this school daily and have heard no such news!!!! I'll take one if one of them happens to move into my area though  tounge in cheek!!!!! You want more slower paced, out of shape, pummling, unimpressive wrestling? Im sorry but I lose interest after 189. Ive also noticed most people have hit the parking lot by 171. I can name some very talented 103 KS wrestlers... Roberson, Maynes(100lbs), Bunch, and possibly a few of your kids. A whole bunch of 4xrs started their hs careers at 103. Remember that these KIDS are 14-18 years old. There was thought and reason put into the weight classifications. Im sorry but 215+ pound high schoolers bore me!

12 of the 22 four time Kansas Class State Champs won their first championship at 105 or less (98, 103, and 105) so lets leave that alone. It is the only REAL atheletic opportunity for the small freshman or sophomore.
