One thing we need to keep in mind for my son was a victim of this rule when in junior high. If we have kids state before high school state all the brackets that include 7th grade to 12th grade will be ineligible for school wrestling under the KSHSAA Rules if they wrestle kids club.You cannot participate in the same sport while being involvled on a school team. The way we where told this can even go as far as making everyone on the teams disqualified if the coach knows it happened and allowed it.
Under the plan outlined above there would be no participation in the kids state by high school wrestlers thus making it a true kids tournament. Moving the date to before high school state does eliminate many middle schoolers as well because their leagues don't finish up till the first week of March.
