First of all I want to comment on Nigels post,...Why make the trip? Why not...its valuable memories and experiance! Say a freshman who had a rough year, peaks at the right time and qualifies for state,...so he goes and gets beat badly...but after that he decides to work harder than ever to get back to state and do well....by the time he is a senior you have a hell of a wrestler on your hands......Not everyone starts off like a Kriegbaum or Erisman....many work harder after they get a taste of competetion at state....not everyone has wrestled thier whole life and just then will get thier passion for the great sport of wrestling. So saying "why make the trip" is horrible for the sport of wrestling.
