I am not hoping to win a popularity contest or lay claim to who I know in wrestling circles. It is my intention to speak on this issue that I believe in. That is all. I'm sorry but I think 1) the dual state is being pushed more by a select few 2)wonder why the Grand State has not also been proposed as it has been a proven success 3) the dual event would not serve to be more far reaching to the masses comparitive to the Grand State & 4) if the 2 events were surveyed & stacked up side by side that the Grand State would be more beneficial to Kansas Wrestling & the choice of the Kansas Wrestling Community. I personally would like to see both events take place each year. And Mr. Westfahl, ...just because I continue to defend my stance & am honestly stating my opinion that I feel that the dual event is as much for the coaches as anything,.. That does not mean it is my intention to hurt anyone's feelings or slander their name. I am fully aware of many of the successes of many of the names associated with the dual proposal & recognize that. ...In closing what I have to say is merely my heartfelt belief that our state can greatly benefit from a Grand State event. All this because I believe ....The interest I serve is bigger than myself. Am I wrong for this ?
