not speaking of 321a but to get to state in 4a is way tougher than to get to state in 5a and 6a. i do think when you get to state in 4a you have a good chance to place. 5a and 6a just because some make it to state doesnt mean they have a chance to place. i will put me in for an example. i went to state in 5a by only winning one match to get there. in my eyes i didnt belong there. the very next year we dropped to 4a. i had a way better record and didnt even make it to state. just look at my regional and you wont have to ask why, mccreary from wellington, lovell from caney, hale from columbus placed in that order in regional and state just so you know lol. so i will always believe that 4a is the toughest to get to state. i also think that 5a and 6a state placers are as good as any of the lower classes. this changes from year to year but thats my opinion.
