ExCoach123 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Would anyone agree that if a team wins their class, should that team be moved up the next class the following year? I would like to see that happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I don't think you understand the dynamics of small school wrestling. The Zebra, Coach Nieman, Russian and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see that happen Maybe if 2 or 3 in a row happens. Find a way to improve the IHSAA's success factor in that they only move up for 1 year and not two?

I would like to see that happen I think in Indiana wrestling, If a team monopolizes and dominates a class, they will self select to move up the ladder. Just curious, can a team self select to move up to any class for example from 1A to 3A or do they bump up to the big class like Cathedral and EMD?

ExCoach123 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I do know the dynamics! It's all about the competition, not chasing trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this would be something to consider if the same team was winning the class every year, but it doesn't seem like we have that problem.

Just Looking 4 Info Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Most 1A schools do well to wrestle a complete roster and that varies from year to year. I would say after they win it 3 times within 5 years is a good time to bump them up but not before. Let's be honest, some schools are real small but recruit athletes (wrestlers). However, those particular schools are already wrestling 3A due to their domination of the sport. Schools that legit have kids that live in their district deserve the opportunity to win a few.
