Just Looking 4 Info

WOW, Not like they were going to the Quick Stop gas station to mingle.  They were going to an event where most of the people they would come into close contact with have been strictly watching who they have been around for the last few weeks because of the prestigious event that they were about to be a part of.  Sorry Columbus East, your Athletic Director is drinking the Kool-Aid way too much.  

Wrestling is temporary and life is forever.  You sir have the heart of a champion and you cannot place a value on that.  Thanks for being a caring individual and being thoughtful rather than selfish.

Was told Nate is 195#s by people in the program

Thanks for all of the info gents.  That takes guts!  

Any idea what Nathan Willman of North Posey actually weighs?  He pinned his way to SS Championship and there is no way he is close to 220 soaking wet.

Unethical and not worth winning if it was done that way.

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.

I don't look at going from 12 to 8 schools as a decrease in the chances of a 1A school going to or winning team state.  Yes there are less spots but all schools have the opportunity to compete this year for a spot next year.  There should still be motivation at smaller schools to draw athletes and grow the sport.  Ultimately Classed Team State alone won't grow a program but it can be a carrot to draw kids in.  Still takes a lot of work and dedication from the school, coaches, parents and athletes.

I completely agree.  Smaller school CAN grow their program just by making it to team state and 12 teams would allow the change in classes to be more fruitful.
