I wrestled high school in IL when it was still a 2 class system and was in the A, or smaller school, division. I went to state my junior year and placed 3rd at 145 my senior year and always wondered how I would have fared in AA. I believe I would have made the tourney in AA but placing would have been difficult. Shortly after I graduated the IHSA moved a Catholic powerhouse (Providence New Lenox) to AA. Their 105 lbr had won a title at at A as a junior and then, for his senior season, had to compete in AA where he placed 5th. However, a few short years later, after they faced AA competition week in and week out, Providence once again became dominant in AA and they are still a force today. If Indiana goes to a class system and schools like Bellmont and MD are moved to the small school class, they will run rough shod over the competition. Will their programs begin to suffer? Not sure. Their conferences will still be in tact where they'll face lager schools and they'll be able to still go to tourney's like the Al Smith in the regular season but eventually, maybe 25 years down the line, if they were thrown back into the big school class, they'd probably take their lumps because their post season experience won't be as rigorous as it is now. Being a transplant I think the single calss system is unique and pretty cool but I can also tell you that class wrestling won't drive spectators away from the sport. The Assembly Hall in Champaign is jammed for every state finals and I have memories that will last my lifetime. Exposure for more wrestlers is also, probably a benefit by going to a class system. I will say, however, that, to this day, I do wonder how I would have done in AA. Kind of rambling, I know, but just a few thoughts and experiences to share
