Why have a regional at Liberal, basket ball or wrestling. For wrestling, all except the home tea, Liberal, are traveling from the wichita area. What is that 200 250 miles, 4 to 5 hours. You want to talk saving money, let the farest away do the most traveling---life is a pain and then you die.
My senior at Liberal year we spent 17 nights in motels for wrestling. We went to Las Vegas,NM, Norton, KS, Hutchison, Newton three times, Kapaun, Amarillo, TX, Salina, El Dorado, Garden City, Dodge City, Hays, La Junta,CO, and we had one home dual against Ulysses!
For football, back in the 90's, Liberal had to travel to the Wichita area for two of their three district games, then back again for regionals, over to Salina for sub-state (the two Salina teams played each other and the ROAD team won even though they share the same stadium), and then to Lawrence for the State Finals. Now quit whining about the other teams having to go there once in a great while. Speaking of whiners, one year Pittsburg was supposed to play at Liberal in the soccer playoffs. They complained to KSHSAA and got the game moved to Wichita!
Liberal deserves the regional and a travel break every now and then! Go Angry Red! (Gotta lovem for stickn' to their non PC mascot!)
