I have no dog in this fight so I dont care who is #1 or #2 both of these wrestlers are studs.
Will, I disagree that EVERY public school can attend all the tournaments that SJA does. I am not saying they dont have the budget, but what I am saying is that many times the administration sets the schedule, due to travel time, staff time, and how much it cost to pay bus drivers, and others staff to go on these longer trips. Many times public schools only go to 1 tournament at year besides state that they stay overnight night. So for someone to travel from Southwest Kansas all the way to the BobCat is not going to happen. That is why many of those schools go to Garden City and that is the only so called tough torunament they have the chance to show what they have.
Geyer,
EVERY SCHOOL CAN wrestle the same schedule. There are NO rules limiting any KSHSAA member school from traveling to the same places, fund raising, or not wrestling many duals. Your argument is with a school district and a school board not with any special treatment that some perceive that private schools have. If I was in a school district that had short sited administrators or board members I would use SJA as a great example of why it is ok to do so. You want the academic and attendance data for our wrestlers and students? Football is a huge cash drain on every school but they find a way... Sometimes you have to educate the educators.
