What we need here is a guy who has wrestled 4A out West, coached 4A teams in leagues with 3As and 5As out East, and then returned to a 3A school out West. He might be able to give some clarity on the matter. I will get back to you all if I can come across a person like this. Until then, enjoy the state tournament this weekend.

I saw a cross-country skier in the Olympics from Jamaica. He was apparently the top qualifier from his country but he could not make it out of the quarter finals at the Olympics. There are many great skiers in the US who are watching from home, who could probably be Jamaican national champions if the wanted, but prefer to compete in the US rather than move. If their goal is to get to the Olympics, they should move to Jamaica. If their goal is to get on the podium, they shpould stay where they are at and get better. So one regional is tougher than the other, so what. So one class is easier to get through to state than another, so what. Either get better where you are at, or move to Jamaica and find out if it is as easy as you think.
