The states position on this is very clear. They want to get the best wrestlers from the four regions of the state, not just the best wrestlers. I remember a few years back when a 103 lbs. wrestler was competing at state and HE HAD NOT WON A MATCH ALL YEAR. However he came from a regional that only had 4 103 lbs. As far as not one regional placing 4 wrestlers I will believe that. I cant check to see but if you will look up the top 4 placers last years regional from Wakeeney will dominate. Also check the past history- NW Kansas teams and ind. have dominated. It would only be worse if some of those teams kids did not knock each other out at tough regionals. I am not saying there are not good kids everywhere but it must hurt to see kids you beat during the year wrestling at the state tournament while you sit in the stands.
