I think you are completely out of touch if you think that in combining it all one would only see a decline in small school wrestling. A fairly arrogant comment. With this comment you are saying kids from small schools cannot compete and would drop out if there was no prize at the end. Yes, I understand the all class rankings are going to be top heavy with 5/6A kids. It is just a factor of money, population and opportunities. However, after you take out the elite, the small school kids would more than hold their own. Small schools already go to 2 day regionals where most will have to win 3 or more mathes to qualify. For many who compete, just being the best on their team or even placing in league is an accomplishment. They know they are probably not going to qualify for state. The 321A Council Grove regionals at 138 maybe didn't have any 'all class kids' but it was very deep. Many of those kids who did not qualify for state there, might in some of those other regionals where kids go to state without winning a match. In other words, many of the small school kids already compete knowing they will most likely never go to state. But, they keep coming out and competing - I guess for pride. Something I guess some do not understand.

Finally, Lucas you have some points, but remember Ark City normally goes to one of the best regionals in the state. You are aiming your comments at the wrong person.
