If you take top to bottom, I think maybe
Newton was tougher than Bobcat. If you take the toughest finals, Garden City with El Reno, Ok. and Ponderosa (denver Colo.) Not to mention Chapparal (Colo) made the top 2 and in some cases 3 places the toughest. Highlight was 135 class with the no. 3 and 6 ranked wrestlers nationally competing in a very well wrestled match with no conservative measures on the part of either wrestler. They made it very clear that they had come to wrestle and by golly they went at it! Ponderosa and El Reno travel all over the country to wrestle and I believe that either would have been capable of winning any other tournament in Ks. that they attended. It was too bad that the rest of the lineup was not up to the level that the top 2 or three participants were. As far as the regional and state tourneys go, there are getting to be so many high quality individuals out there that about any regional or state is going to be very tough. 125 in 321 and 160 in 4a look tough to me.
