I thought the 5A/6A tournament at the Kansas Coliseum ran pretty smoothly, but I'd hasten to add that last years 6A tournament at Koch Arena (i.e. Wichita State University) was far superior, in virtually every category.

This is not said to slight all of those who generously gave of their time and talents to the 6A tournament this year. It's just that the physical facility of Koch Arena was substantially better (i.e. seating, lighting, sound,cleanliness, concessions, you name it. I can't honestly single out a single superior attribute of the Kansas Coliseum over Koch Arena, for these purposes.

I hope that those in control give some serious consideration to either Koch arena, or the newly constructed InTrust Bank arena, when scheduling future state wrestling tournaments.

And, alas, I'll weigh-in again, with the tired refrain that we smarten-up and allow all classes to compete at the same venue. Let's try it, we all just might like it!
