"As I pointed out to sportsfan02 above, I believe that would be the real reason why sportfans02 and probably the Board would oppose the idea and the Board probably does not want to end high school participation at State."

I can't speak for the Board but there are no hidden agendas on my end! If I felt that changing the season would harm middle school wrestling I would have put that in my post! Middle school will sink or swim on it's own without us. From everything I see, it will swim. With the proposed change of the middle school season (if adopted), it should grow even more. This new season should quiet all the whiners like yourself for good. As a person who has attended district and state meetings for going on 20 years it really aggravates me when those who don't, try to reinvent the wheel. Then you try to blame the Board for unilateral decisions they didn't even make! What was your club's opinion on a proposed change of Kansas Kids seasons? Do you know? Did they voice it at the meeting in question? Where were you?

"Even if Kansas suddenly allowed middle school kids to do both that would not change this problem if a middle school district ends at the same time or later as yours does."

This simply isn't going to happen! Give it up! Nor should it!
