My thoughts are part personal and part just an old mans common sense. As a former public school athlete I was never intimidated by wrestling against private or parochial school kids and to be honest I only ever lost one wrestling match to a private school kid and he was better than me. Wrestling, swimming, track & field, golf, tennis, etc… are all individual sports and therefore should only crown one champion. Wrestling in particular is a sport that lends itself more to kids from “Blue Collar” families and kids that are raised on a farm and know the value of hard work which in and of itself are typically public school athletes . Yes, some of the private schools have better coaches and better facilities but so do some of the public schools. Life is never going to be completely fair and the sooner that people realize that fact and move forward the better off everyone will be. Shinny new facilities and uniforms do not win state championships! Wrestling like most things is a people and relationship business and those individuals that work the hardest are normally the ones that are rewarded at the end of the season. The public schools across the nation have done little to help themselves and continue to water down both academics and athletics by passing legislation that keeps them from competing against various school types across the country. Much like when I graduated from a public high school I was forced to compete against private school kids for admission to colleges and jobs with private school graduates. Competition makes everyone better but most people want to spend their time focusing on fairness instead of out working the competition.
