Have only seen one area's regionals---KC, KS plus STA and Lansing. Has to be the easiest region to get to State. As I posted somewhere, had 36 open round byes and yes there was at least one if not more wrestlers who got a free pass to State (i.e., no wins at region).

Heres's an idea. This regional fields abouta 3 1/2 to 4 team field with eight schools. Have KSHSAA let the 3 KC, KS high schools (Harmom, Wyandotte, Washington) Co-Op in wrestling, but do not add their student enrollment figures together and force them into 6A. The four schools could field one pretty good Co-OP team. By Co-Oping these schools you would then have only 29 schools/teams in 5A wrestling. Then the regionals could be slightly changed geographically with 3 regions with 7 teams and one region with 8 teams. Same number of kids wrestling, but probably better competition in all brackets!! Lets at least be pragmatic rather than dogmatic (the man has a way with words).

Still can not find the spell checker!!!
