I know it is fun to think about the what if's? This bracket will never happen for several reasons. 1) These are Kids, they are wrestling to have fun. The daddy's may want to see this but how much fun is it to wrestle a State or National Placer every match. It is alot of stress on the little guys and this bracket would be tougher than Tulsa Nationals. 2) Weight Difference. Some of these kids may only be weighing 53 lbs. while others are weighing as much as 63 lbs. Only 10 pounds? They should be able to handle it. That is roughly 19% weight difference. It would be the same as a 170 lb wrestler matched up against a 202 lb wrestler. I wouldn't want to give up that much weight and then have to be able to compete. 3) Distance. These kids are from Topeka area, Wichita, Garden City, Pittsburg, all over. To make this happen half of them would need to get a hotel for the night. 4) I have to agree with Nick, off the mat could end up being more entertaining than on....who wants to pay for security.

I think the main point here, and possibly James is trying to make is: WoW! Kansas is probably the most competitive state in the Nation at these weights. I count 12 state champions, 5 Tulsa National Champions, and 8 Tulsa National Placers. This is a why Kansas is so good at these weights. Several of these kids meet up weekly and that only makes them stronger. I'm happy just meeting one or two of them a week. I don't think I would like to have Jake try to run the gauntlet.
