Rob Sherrill's first-round blog

[mckbln]

Well, anybody who thinks adding classes doesn't dilute the talent doesn't know wrestling. At 119...three falls, a tech and a major. At 125...five falls, a tech and a 15-1 decision. When you put a No. 1 against a No. 4 you're asking for blowouts. This is the way it's going to be from now on, folks.

Which is something many of us were complaining about when the IHSA first came up with the moronic idea of going to 3 classes...

Well said by you and everyone else who makes the point. Having said that, I think the next round will start getting interesting...I'm going to start a blog over on the AA board now. We'll see if the same thing happens.

I highly doubt that will happen. I know it's not the best situation for the large schools, but it was designed to create more participation. The middle sized schools are the ones that benefit the most.
