so you think 6 out of 12 placers is better than 34 out of 49. im not so sure about that. i talked about this a few years ago when we took 23 kids to state and placed 17. its really not about quanity but quality. lucky for us we have both. we have a very good novice program to build with as well. i would be lying if i said winning the team title wasnt nice because it was. we lost to east kansas last year by around 10 or 12 points and took 10 less wrestlers. so we have been on both sides of it. the boys were excited about having the chance to win it when we qualified the numbers we did. i personally dont go into the season thinking about winning the team title. it was there and our kids worked just like everyone else did to claim it in the end. i knew it would be close with maize and east kansas. something i think would be even better than this is to win a team championship at tulsa nationals.
