sportsfan02, I would have liked to sent you an e-mail on this because I think everyone has read enough of my views. Another reason I am beginning to change on my thinking a little bit besides the things I mentioned in my second post above was that I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought that way about 16 & under at Kids State. I mentioned the possibility in a topic last year also and before your post no one else has ever posted any supporting comments to the suggestion. Except maybe the KWCA feels that way too after reading the November 2002 minutes.
I got to admit most of my personal motivation comes from desiring a bigger mats at State for the younger kids and for shorter waits between matches at State for all the wrestlers and the spectators (I know that part is selfish. I am guilty).
