6a?

Three sites have been secured; still looking for the fourth. Sites will not be released until all four have been identified as regional assignments may have to be redone based on which school is the fourth host.

This would be much easier if you went with two regionals and an eight man state bracket. 25% of the wrestlers at state just like 4A...

I was wondering with the close proximity of most of the 6A schools why two regional tournaments could not be hosted at one site. Even here in little Norton we could host two 8 team tournaments using four mats in our main gym, or spread out and use two mats in each of our two gyms.

Received this from Mr. Bowden on Monday:

Regional managers - updates:

Again on behalf of the schools, coaches, wrestlers and parents, thanks to the 15 of you who have stepped forward to serve as a regional host for one of this year’s regional wrestling tournament sites. Next week (Monday) we will be sending out a “packet” of information to you to assist you as you prepare for the regionals.

We have posted on the wrestling page of the KSHSAA web site weekly announcements for the last few weeks. On those announcements, I’ve also listed the regional assignments now for class 5A, 4A and 3-2-1A. Hopefully within the next couple of days we can find that last Class 6A host location. . .

most of the 6a schools i have been to, have smaller gyms.

According to KSHSAA, BVNW has agreed to host a regional but KSHSAA does not like to ask a HS to host two major events. They are hosting a BB Sub state. If BVNW wants to do it, why wouldn't KSHSAA let them?

Chief, how many times do I need to tell you. Asking for rational thinking from KSHSAA is like asking for Cokeley to not speak his mind. Ain't gonna happen................

Some need to look a little harder, Just saying!Rossville is hosting both for us! GREAT JOB ROSSVILLE!

The same school hosting both regional wrestling and sub-state bb has been done over the years. It has not been too many years ago that Beloit hosted both wrestling and basketball. In the fall of 2007 Norton hosted the Regional Cross Country Meet AND Sub-State Volleyball Tournament on the SAME day (regional cross country does not last very long, but requires a huge amount of prep time).

For many reasons it is best if these events are spread around, but if BVNW is, in fact, the only option there is no "policy" against them having both regional wrestling and sub-state bb and; if in fact they are the only option, will probably do so.

Just to let everyone know. We were given the basketball substate way back at the end of November. Then with wrestling, from my conversations. We were asked with a hesitance (due to us having substate), would we like to host regional wrestling. They had 2-3 other schools in mind but with the budget problems their admin's so NO. Reason worried about not being able to break EVEN. We are not worried about this as most every position except for 2 maybe 3 are all volunteers. We have been talking about being able to host regionals this year, way back to last Febraury. We got a second gym, so no more wrestling room or 3 mats in 1 gym and more seating in the original gym.- YEAH. In fact this weekend it will be inaguarated with its first tourney.

And I was told that Rossville hosted both in 2004 or 2005 by Holly Graves

I know we have hosted regionals 2x between 2000-2009. Basketball ? They did host regionals for bball within the last 10 years just dont know what year.

Confirms what has been said--hosting both has been done before; and, no doubt, will be done again if a school hosting both is the only option.

She is correct, it was 04/05 school year. My first year volunteering to do the the cooking for the hospitality room at the school.
