Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School toughest high school weight class

I definately think that 4A 119 was the deepest. 2 or 3 former state placers didn't even place.

I think 6A 135 was still the toughest weight.

4A 119 - 37 losses by the top 6.
6A 135 - 18 losses by the top 6.

In fact, 18 losses from the top 6 in 6A 135 was by far the lowest loss total compared to any 4A weight.

The Chase Nelson/Mitchell Means 6A 135 final was the highlight of the tournament from two returning State Champions.

In 4A/5A/6A, here is the lowest loss total ranking from the placers at each weight:

(No data for 5A/103 is available).

While I don't intend to slight 6A 135, I'd have to go with 4A 119. Returning state champs take 4th and 5th in this bracket. As far as a toughness test, I'd like to think of how many times would these kids place comparatively if wrestled tournament 10 times. I'd say 119 comes out about 10 different ways, with several possible state champs.
