TeamGarcia Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Georgia High School Association approves to add yet another Classification to their States Wrestling Championships going from 6 to 7 classes. What the largest Class Wrestling State ? State Championships for everybody in Georgia ! Want a State Championship you move to Georgia. #ridiculous #waterdowncompetition vito pepperelli and rookie78 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD92 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm sure all 98 will get the opportunity to wrestle in college now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 They should just have one class and one weight class. We need to find out who the TRUE CHAMPION of Georgia is. TaylorWrestling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 They should just have one class and one weight class. We need to find out who the TRUE CHAMPION of Georgia is. I'll likely be voting for someone from The Compound in that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD92 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) They should just have one class and one weight class. We need to find out who the TRUE CHAMPION of Georgia is. Might be a better option than having 98 "state champs". Edited May 3, 2016 by MD92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I wouldn't totally disagree. Six classes is about three or four too many...seven is even worse. Right now they have 364 schools. Here is their breakdown of school's per class 6A- 63 5A- 86 4A- 65 3A- 65 2A- 45 1A- 40 Looking at the article they were trying to get less classes and their state association decided to increase it.

warsawwrestling Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Looking at the article they were trying to get less classes and their state association decided to increase it. A lot like here in Indiana. I wonder if we went to ISHAA and tried requesting that we don't wrestle past ticket round at Semi-State and just use records to figure 1-4, if they would then vote on true wrestle backs at Semi-State. Same with ISWA if we say they should have 3 qualifiers, then maybe they would go to 1 or allow ISWA sponsored events count. Reverse physiology at its best.

BrettYarbrough Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 As a Georgia native I can tell you that the move to seven classes has not been well received. A large portion of the community is in favor of a three or four class system but very few AD's are willing to support this notion. Many of the decisions that the GHSA makes have nothing to do with wrestling. With that being said, there is a lot of money to be made by having seven sets of state playoffs for all sports.

CoachM Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 AD's love state titles as well, this is a huge boost to their professional resume. Seems like a case of self-promotion taking the front seat here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
