On the topic that it is too easy to qualify for state in 5a- at the 112 valley center regional Banta (took 3rd last year at state) didn't even qualify. Tom McDonald who had a 27-12 record against the best competition in the state also failed to qualify. But if you go to some of the other 5a regionals in the state guys with losing records are qualifying. This needs to be balanced out so that the best wrestlers go to state.
