That kid would be out champ whether he was in class 3a or no class...all it will do is give a title out to 2 more people a year in each class. A single class ensures that the best are competing head to head to win a state title. There is nothing that is across lines that prevents a wrestler from facing the best. Other states may have more classes, but i dont see how this creates any better competition than if we just keep our one. A friend of mine and fellow coach that wrestled in the class system in Florida will not deny that it is a lot harder to get to state and win a state title here in Indiana than what it is in Florida. There is enough of people going on now on the board about what part of the state they hail from...would the region have as many champs if we went to a class system? would one powerhouse school run a class because they are private and can "attract" athletes to come and wrestle at their school? i love that there are no questions at the end of the day to see who the best really is when we are done at Conseco. In many states they end up wrestling a seperate tournament of champions after their own class state tourneys to see who the real champ is.
