op great post! next year go to a 4a or a 3a regional, They do 2 day 16 team brackets you have to earn your way to state in the smaller divisions.
You are right over half of the kids in regionals make it to state. I get bashed year after year for bringing this up.
Last year in one regional 2 kids made it to the state tourny without even winning a match.
something needs to change.
