I would just like to reiterate what Kit Harris has said concerning the Dual State Proposal. This was not one person's idea, but a collective one among the wrestling coaches of Kansas. This also was not an over-night decision, but one that was put together after two years of studying and surveying. I agree that a Grand State is an excellent idea and has been tried and proven, but it still only serves the great individuals. I honestly believe that coaches, including myself, felt that the Dual State would be more far-reaching. The individuals have already had their glory. What about the kid who's on a good team and never makes it to state? That type of kid, who paid his dues just like everyone else, will finally get that thrill of participating in a State competition. Thus, the Dual concept will reach out to more young men in the state of Kansas, and the last time I checked, that is what we are all about.
