not true buddy. in class c and d it is more likely that you meet the same kids because you go to area tournaments.everyone basically knows who is going to be there before the tournament even begins.i wrestled in class c for the last four years and the kids that i got beat by were the same better kids all year. you basically see eachother almost every tournament.

If that is the case wrestle different competition.

I wrestled on the Disney Dual Team this summer with kids from all Classes. I was smaller than the class A state champ at 160 and could beat him. The state runner-up in class A at 215 was 3rd string behing class B and Class C. I will say Etherton was a very tough competitor.

With the above reasoning, I would say if you wrestled people from classes other than A, I would say you would have more losses.

Didn't Neligh get 2nd at the duals in Hastings? They are not a top 10 team in class C.

now this debate has been going on for years and years. i know people who wrestled in class A and coach now in class D. making it to state is harder in class D. but, with that said, the wrestler in class A who qualifies for state with a sub-par .500 record would beat most of the 4 wrestlers who qualified in class D. there are obviously exceptions but this is true year in and year out. plus you might have 18 teams in a class D district, but most brackets have 11 or 12 in the bracket, with 5 of these 12 being average or above average wrestlers. in Class A you have 8 teams most brackets have 8 wrestlers and 6 of the 8 atleast, are good wrestlers.

good post

A-3 by far is the hardest district! there will be a lot of disappointed wrestlers come state time.

For my two cents, I would like to say I believe there is a difference between a difficult district and one that has brackets loaded with one or two super-talented individuals who will dominate the competition. I think every district out there has at least one weight group, probably more, where you may have 4 or more wrestlers who are very comparable in ability but may not be highly rated or rated at all. Those are the hardest to project qualifiers because it is such a toss-up. You know, like the old saying "On any given day". Yes, I realize there are districts out there who have a number of highly rated wrestlers and I like watching those kids. But I really enjoy watching the scrambling for that third and fourth place finish to qualify for state. Just my two cents.
