Lucas,
Rather than 5a and 6a combine why don't the smaller school districts combine so they can be large enough to be a 5a or 6a school. That solves the "regionals" issue you care deeply about and it saves the tax payers a whole boatload of money!
(Just had to try and beat Cokeley to the school district consolidation punch)
Shawn. Would not go to far west of Topka and talk about consolidation. A passionate subject out west/small towns/small schools. But, probably needs to happen from a cost basis. Spent some time last night looking at some 4A and 321A rosters and brackets. More teams then 5A and 6A but very few 10-12 plus rosters. Lots of 4, 5, 6 wrestler rosters in 321A--most with all or several freshmen and sophmores. My questimate: looking at the team rosters, appears that wrestlers from the bigger 321A schools feed on the wrestlers from the smaller schools--probably also but to a lesser degree in 4A. 4A dominated by a few schools but have just as many short rosters as any other classification.
