Should be fun to try to find motel rooms in the Hutch area with the 6A regional in Hutch and a 4A regional in Buhler! Great work, KSHSAA!

We were saying that none of us on the Colby staff have ever been there for a regional and I've been at Colby since 2001. I knew it had been awhile. It just doesn't make since to put a 6A regional in Hutch as well. We already made our travel arrangements first thing this morning for our team. I hope our fans and parents get on it soon as well!

100% agree
Not only from a housing perspective, now we have to scramble for sponsor support and things like that.
Nothing against either program, just at the same time doesn't make sense.

Two sixteen team regional tournaments have the maximum wrestler count of 448 wrestlers. That is the size of a small kids tournament. Hutchinson, host of the Kansas State Fair, can easily house that number plus fans and parents. Shouldn't be an issue.

Plus, some of the local schools at each tournament will not require overnight accommodations and for the Buhler regional, Newton is close enough to stay there.

In reality 4 teams from Buhler regional will travel possibly. The Hutch regional 6-8 could travel.
That makes it look a little different.
Just so you know the State Fair is a poor comparison for Hutch to be able to accommodate anything. There typically isn't a room for 1.5 hours away and a large portion of folks rent their houses out for incredible amount, not to mention the camper spots. I think Hutch could triple if not more the hotels and still not have enough for the fair, but then they would sit 10% full the other 355 days of the year.
The NJCAA tournament is a little better.
