Sry wasn't talkin bout hs, but it would seem that seedings is a really touchie issue...i'm just a fan of if u earn it u should get it. Being one of or the top wrestler in your weight class in the state during the year as well as in your regional tourny, it should be an added perk you can earn at the state tournament. Just something else to shoot for.

Leaving the state in search of better competition doesn't speak well of the wrestlers in ky, but I understand that, as well as I understand financial difficulties of some programs. This has been a growing problem for some of the southwestern ky programs for many years. They are finding it more and more difficult to go the tournaments in northern and eastern parts of ky in persuit of better competition, but are hampered by finances as well. This forces them to seek competition in tenn or missouri. It's not a perfect world as we all know, but if what everyone claims that they're in it for the kids, then some changes and compromises need to be made across the board for all programs not just some. I need to get back to the seeding question,sry i'm rambling, the kids who prove themselves above the rest during the season deserve that perk at state and will provide more evenly matched finals as well as more exciting championship matches....it's done in other sports and with much success I might add, why not at state?

Seedings have been and always will be hard at any tourny, but if some teams would stop dodging each other for the sake of not meeting until region and state then there would be a more stable outline on who has beaten who or placed higher in this or that tourny. In- state records would come into play alot easier and seedings would be simplier. I have always believed that those wrestlers who earned the right to be top seeds should get them and the average wrestler should battle amongst themselves for the right to meet them. Put in-place a minimum no# of in-state or regional competitions that have to be complete before the season's end and this will not effect teams obligations to outside tournys and give the coaches/ committee a guideline inwhich to seat wrestlers.
