leon- I am not being hard on my team. If you read my post, you will notice i said nothing about how good 4a was or Spring Hill is this year. Thanks for getting offended and looking up my home town so you can vent on us. But since you brought it up, yes i do think 4a is tough this year. I apologize for offending you by bringing up Bass of Bonner Springs and his misfortunes this year. I was just trying to tease Cannon a bit (he said its like 5a doesn't exit-----and my opinion is simply that 5a shouldn't exist)and voice my opinion about 5a being weak because they dont have as many teams competing as 4a. If you combined 6a and 5a, then the combined division would have 64 teams just like 4a and 3-2-1A and all would be fair. There would be no reason to dis 5a or 6a anymore. As for Spring Hill, unfortunately they graduated 8 seniors last year and this year is a rebuilding year. They have done a tremendous job of improving and have suprised a bunch of people by having the success they do.
Spring Hill is tough for a team comprised mostly of sophmores who haven't had much mat time. Also, the 5a teams that were at the bobcat were pretty tough. I believe Bonner Springs, Paola, and Shawnee Heights are all ranked at state where as Spring Hill is not ranked. Next year, Spring Hill will be back on top and probably dominating in two years. We will see.
Also, you shouldn't start attacking me or Spring Hill just because i pointed out that one particular 5a wrestler was ranked number one but didn't have a chance at placing at the Bobcat Classic. 5a does have some outstanding wrestlers, but seldomely are the 5th and 6th place guys even in the same league as the 1st and 2nd guys at 5a state. Look though last years brackets and you will notice a lot of champions in 5a who tech falled fellow placers. Look in a bracket in 4a, 321A, and even 6a and you will see a lot of one point matches or overtime matches or double overtime matches.
