I think most who want one division are really thinking the following. Perhaps I'm wrong. 1. The parents, coaches, and administrators who want three divisions are soft, not the kids, as kids feed off what leadership adults provide. 2. Regardless of how everyone feels, myself included, it is indeed easier (unarguably so) to medal in the state of TN so if someone feels that kids didn't work quite as hard or earn it just as much it is a valid opinion regardless of popularity of said opinion. Again, this isn't due to the kids as kids don't make the rules. I've been steady in that I personally don't know what the best answer is but I do understand both points-of-view. I've also been steady in that I would 100% combine 1A and 1AA while using 32 man brackets. I like kids, respect their efforts, and I don't play the game of "kids today" because every old man that ever existed since the dawn of man played that same game. That game is dumb, if a kid stinks then his parents stink (exceptions of course). I've met very few bad kids but I've met many bad parents.

hamm also took 2nd in freestyle

Thanks for sharing. Finally got to watch it. Looked like two good high school teams going at it.

Where are you seeing the principal post? I have searched and haven’t seen anything.

No one is insulting the kids, don't try to turn this around on them haha. They clearly only have an issue with you using statistics to state the fact that it is easier to be a NCAA All-American which is a ridiculous notion by the way. That is like stating Larry Owings a top 5 NCAA wrestler all time because he beat Dan Gable. It doesn't work that way. Although I commend you for sticking up for the kids, I like the All-State team and show casing a rather overlooked sport even if it is just taking the top 4 without a lot of thought being put behind it. But, no one is attacking the kids they were pointing out your flawed claim that it is harder to be All-State in TN than it is to be All-American in the NCAA.

Old Florida44 was pretty good at the game of football as well in his time as a Smoky Bear.....
