Vandeventer, I don't really have an opinion and I am not trying to open a 'hornet's nest'.
But . . . it begs a question such as, "Did Oak Park bring ALL their varsity wrestlers or what?" I do know that REALLY GOOD teams occasionally take their JV wrestlers to compete in varsity tournaments.
NOT AN ACCUSATION! Just a thought/comment. You do know the difference - right?!
I wrestled in the KC area in the early 80's. They were good back then and I know that they have since won several state championships since then. So, yeah. Just curious.
To me, it would be like having a college football playoffs system in which Alabama and LSU get knock out in the first round and then Missouri plays KU for the championship a month later.
What about you? Do you have any thoughts, opinions on this particular tourney?
The scoring spread and individual champion ratio was much DIFFERENT (which is OK and fine with me - HENCE my CURIOSITY) then the tourney I saw tonight in JC. In that one we had a fairly close battle for first place between two Wichita teams. And, I saw a lot of first and second place winners from both teams.
I in NO WAY meant to 'slam' the BIT. I have never been to it. I imagine it is a great tourney and congrats to Prairie View for winning it and winning it by such a large margin.
