There will never ever be another Grand State Tourney sponsered by the KSHSAA. The reason is simple. It was a raging success and the basketball tourney was a huge flop. The Grand State drew more people than any other single day event in Kansas history and the wrestling was unbelievable. The national association as well as the state association is dominated by former basketball coaches. Ain't no way they would let that happen again. They can blame it on anything they want but they cant say it was not a big success. Heck the second and last one drew 6000 to the finals in the biggest blizzard Hays has ever seen. I know that because my car was buried in the back of the Holiday Inn. The big schools dominated the basketball tourney and the wrestling tourney was a crowd pleaser. The state couldnt handle that. I know because I was there and so were many of you. The rest is just politics.
