  2. I don't think I took it the wrong way. I think you are wanting to grow the sport period. You want to see what is best to get more kids on the mat. I totally get it, and you may be right that making the tournament class might get more kids interested in it for smaller schools like Alex. I just think it is so special what we have and would hate to have it any other way. Our little schools should celebrate the Semi-State qualifiers more ect... I think we both want the same thing just don't see it the same way. I get both sides. Both sides have valid points that is why its such a hot topic. I hope our program is on the rise we have been working our tails off and I could see burnout being an issue :)
  3. You might be right. I just think if you change it and it doesn't do what you hope it will do its for sure not worth it. The other question of has anyone tried to build a program the answer is yes. I'm trying. It's not easy but things worth having never are.
  4. If you want to grow the sport then fix the youth events and change how that is ran. If a kid truly loves to wrestle then they will wrestle. A chance to win a state title is a pretty lame way to grow the sport. We need to raise men that can handle failure. It's part of what makes wrestling the greatest sport there is, there aren't many excuses to use, it is as fair as a sport gets. Let's not try to make it so more kids win. I think changing the youth events would help more than changing the IHSAA tournament.

  6. Congrats to Avon and Rochester! I do have a few thoughts and would love to hear some feedback. I get the wildcard concept but I think its silly personally. Take your kids from your own school and see how it goes. I think it would make coaches have to recruit kids in their own building more and hopefully it would help grow the sport. Also I would love to see a 1A Elementary Dual as well. We had 14 1A and 2A schools in the small division. I haven't really counted how many of those happened to be 1A. I am speaking for Alexandria only that when we go down there sometimes its hard when another school has their "wildcard" who is a HAMMER and for our little school we have a 3rd or 4th year kid and it is discouraging to our kid. We have lost a few kids because of this. It is a little easier to swallow when it is a kid from their own school. We are very new to the elementary duals and we love the event but I just think it would be best to take what you have and see what happens. If you have a forfeit well it's a forfeit. Why have different rules for elementary than for high school? Just my opinion. I understand the reason behind the rule I just don't agree with it.
