There are lots of unfortunate outcomes -

I hate it when a good kid gets beat at the consolation semi's.

Trent Hoover at 135 from SS won't make it to state this year. Great kid- but he lives in an area where there were 5 good kids at that weight. He would have made the top four at Liberal, Emporia, and Bishop M.

He would have made the top four at the Spring Hill Region in 4A. Is that fair?

No matter how you figure the regions or classes - there will always be individuals who get upset on the front side- are injured or whatever and then get beat out and don't qualify for state.

It is life-
