Richard,
I never really doubted that the KWCA statement was self serving. Probably most of our statements and positions have a certain amount of a self-serving motive to them. I know my posts most of the time do. Heck I want bigger mats at State and the State qualifying tournaments for my son's age groups. I also want shorter waits between matches there and a shorter overall day especially on that first day. I want all that for him and me as a parent. So yes there is a self serving motive to my posts. I could never deny that.
I think it is okay for the KWCA to have a self serving motive to their position too. What is obvious though is that if they want our Kids season to end before the high school State tournament does than the KWCA must not be too worried that the high school wrestlers would be missing out of participating in what would then become a Grade School Kids State tournament.
I think coachjt has done a pretty good job of detailing why we have high school participation in our Kids tournament. I believe his statement that there are no plans to exclude their participation in our tournament by our Kids powers to be tells me that dropping high school wrestlers from Kids is unlikely to happen any time soon in Kansas.
