I am not upset about one kid who did one thing, one time. The kid who did that one thing that one time was an object lesson as to why IN THE 3 STYLES, STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES, SPECIFICALLY, it is not ok to have satellite/home site weigh ins BECAUSE, in those cases specifically, it erodes the competitive integrity of the pinnacle competition of the wrestling annual cycle. I am not against satellite weigh ins in all contexts, just the one I mentioned (over and over again) I was of this belief before it was driven home by that object lesson and am of that belief now. I imagine MY logic is the same logic used by our neighbors to the north, south and northeast. Correlation is not causation and until somebody has hard, statistically significant, numbers to show me you are not going to get me to believe that having satellite weigh ins makes more kids show up to the state freestyle and greco tournament--cause it doesn't. It does however lower the status of our state championships in relation to everyone all around us
