Lets start with Pollum of yes, St James Academy, lost by fall to Selves at Basehor as did Hansen of Baldwin by fall. Pollum was 3rd and Hansen was 1st at regionals. Pike of Basehor a regional runnerup and Hurla of Rossville a regional champion both lost to Hansen who Selves beat. Weaver of Chapman beat Hansen 5-1 while Selves pinned him. With some more time I could come up with plenty more examples. So how do you think Selves feels when he hears that it is easier to get to state in 5A and 6A than 4A and 3A? It probably will be tough to swallow. It probably won't add up. Bottom line is it won't wash at all. He would have obviously qualified in more than one of their regionals, if not all. But he was in the toughest 6A regional with 6 of the top 10 teams in the state. That's the problem.

But its definitely not accurate to say "5A/6A has more losing records so its easier to get to state than 3A/4A". Tell that to Tyler Selves. It will be a tough sell.


Well you can tell Tyler Selves, that Hurla of Rossville, who Selves finished ahead of at Basehor, beat Webb of Wichita South, who qualified ahead of Selves. Hurla beat Webb 12-10 at the Council Grove Duals. Diener of Lyons also pinned Webb at the Council Grove Duals and failed to qualify..

Just thought I'd throw a little more salt into the wound.


Good suggestion Ricky.
I would rather tell him that than "you can see from the losing records that it is easier to qualify in 5A/6A".

As for the salt, it is not my wounds, it is Tyler Selves. I hope he does not visit this websight.
