K.S.H.S.A.A. is simply out of touch with Wrestling. While Sports such as Baseball, Football, Basketball all have traveling/regional teams as well as active A.A.U. teams that depend on the "team aspect" these schedules are outside of the regular H.S. season.
While individual accomplishment is great, the teams that I have the closest contact with, are ALL about the team first and foremost. I know some people have a tough time understanding such thinking, but it is how it has been handed down from generation to generation. The team takes priority over individual accomplishments.
Wrestling is first and formost a individual competetion. Maybe I have had a different expiereince in wrestling than you but what i always loved is I got out what I put in and it is this I've handed down. Teams are great and important but once out thier its just you.
What I here is that if the team can't go you can't go. Not everyone on every team should go. But they should have the option. Not everyone can compete at this level. Its a hard truth but truth non the less.
We have no right to tell anyone they can't do these things. Let alone forbid it. Last time I looked colleges didn't recruit teams just indiviuals. And these Big Venues are one of the things they look at. Not how many time you've beaten the same kids in one season.
