How about a “new school” state tourney?

[DrBaker 529]

Invite all the schools that have just started wrestling in the past few years. 3? 5? Thoughts?

J-Town I believe brought their program back about three years ago. I Wasn’t even aware of this until they sat in front of us Saturday at the Dragon and were a very well Mannered  group of kids which also says A lot about their coaching.

This would be good for growth. You could have both Duals and regular tournament.

Not sure what you are calling new schools but. 

Manual had state qualifiers in 81 thru 85 then have had some qualifiers since 2002

Ballard had state qualifiers from 99-08 then again in 2023

East Carter had state qualifiers in 01-03 then again in 2023

Franklin County has been around for awhile. 

Letcher Co has had qualifiers since 06

Montgomery county has had qualifiers sinc 06

Nelson County has had qualifiers since 06

Prestonburg had qualifiers in 99-04 then again since 2017

Southern has been around since at least 1993

Waggener had state qualifiers in 1968 thru 2002 and again since 2017. 

Belfry had state qualifiers in 1973 thru 1979 then again in 2010. 

I may have missed a few.
