Being a former western kansas wrestler & coach, I know all too well how tough the wrestling is out that way. I realize that the Norton Regional was tough as nails this year, but to say a bunch were left at home that could have placed...during your count, did you notice that 106 was the only weight class that all four Norton Regional wrestlers placed in. Five other weights had 3 placers from that Regional. That leaves 8 brackets with no more than two placers coming out of Norton. Maybe those wrestlers in the other Regionals should feel fortunate that the state allowed them to show up and at least compete for some of those remaining medals...sarcasm...
I for one felt it was an exciting state tournament once again. Congrats to all that competed, to all that placed, & especially to those that reach the goal of becoming a STATE CHAMPION!
