Kansas super star--brackets are available on line from the KSHSAA--before and after the state tournaments. Also, Bronco wrestler wrestles for Russell (a tongue twister!), a school that is usually one of the largest 3A or smallest 4A schools--therefore, it is quite possible that he has been at Wichtia for state and also at Hays during his HS career.

The area of the state where high school wrestling is ACTUALLY as important as HS basketball and in some schools bigger than basketball is NW Kansas--and there are no 5A or 6A schools there.

As has been stated before on this forum, a greater population will yield the greater PROBABILITY of talented individuals. The fact that a child lives in a metropoltan area (or rural area for that matter) does not automatically mean they are physically superior to all others not of that area.

It is sad that most 5A and 6A brackets at regional tournaments are not full (only 8 man brackets to boot!) and that a 5A or 6A varsity wrestler has NO WORSE than a 50-50 chance of qualifying for the state tournament.

Go to the northwest to take in a tournament; it will do your heart and head some good.
