Got it. But the schools list states 96 named wrestling schools in 321A. If there are co-ops, don't think the name list would include the co-ops. So, does that mean that 321A is pulling kids from more than the 96 named schools (i.e., 96 plus the co-opting schools). Regardless of what it means, still too many opens--in every classification.
The spread of school sizes and enrollments, 2300+ down to 30 or 40, combined with the large number of 321A schools, creates an equity problem in how do you design a statewide HS wrestling program thar treats everyone the same/fairly. Probably can't be done. The current 32-32-64-96 classification system may be as good as any other system that can be designed. If wrestling community wants some changes, it will have to be done within the 6A, 5A, and 4A----and combining 6A and 5A is not THE SOLUTION!! Regardless of opens brackets in 6A and 5A regionals, most of the statewide wrestling strength is at the bigger school--its quality and not quanity!!
