Also makes scheduling difficult for teams trying to face section opponents |

I am not sure I would call it a consequence but I agree with it being a several year commitment, not allowing a team to change each time the re-alignment happens. Many times the scheduling for the next season is near complete by the time the season ends and they are already looking to schedule 2018-2019. By the time the teams on the edge schedule there new section they may be on their way out again. |

It has been noted that you are from pipestone. Remember, Pipestone used to opt up to AA as well. I personally don't care where teams wrestle. I do personally care if you are implying that Gary got to where he did by ducking competition or looking for the easy way out. |

Maybe this has already been said but when does a decision like switching have to officially be made? |

I am surprised MSHSL allows teams to opt up or down every other year. Has to be a scheduling nightmare for Section alignments every other year after they find out who decides to opt up and down all the time in order to make sure there are somewhat equal amount of teams in each section. Also has to be difficult for AD's to schedule the following year events. If they put a stop to it sure would make things easier for all. |

The decision had to be made to opt up by 8:00 am March 6th. Teams can only opt-up or stay in there assigned class. They CANNOT opt-down. |

Don't think you should be calling out one of the greatest high school coaches in mn. He's a very respected coach |

I'm from Pipestone. If Pipestone moved every 2 years based on which section they thought they could win I'd call them on it too. Wabasso/RRC always has a tough team, why diminish your accomplishments? Why not pick a section and stick with it? Why dodge competition? What lesson are you teaching? |

This is not a good post for someone from Pipestone to make without looking at all the facts. It's funny because Pipestone was in AA from at least 2000-2008. Windom was also in AA when they made their run. JCC was in AA too. To say someone is running or going to an easier section is funny. You can make that assumption for Pipestone since the only time they made it to state was in A. Windom also went down to A after their huge runs in the mid 2000s. I don't get why you have to bash a team for making this decision. What if Pipestone goes back up to AA. Will you eat your words? Instead of posting something to bash another team for their decision, why not embrace the grind and challenge that your team will have to make. |

Thanks! You made most of my points for me. You stated Pipestone was in AA for 8 years, which is exactly what Wabasso/RRC doesn't do in picking a Class and sticking with it. I think all of us can look at the teams in a Section, see which of their wrestlers are graduating, and determine if that team will be up or down next year. From there you can guess as to which Section will offer you the greatest opportunity to be Section champ. To say different is wrong. If Pipestone suddenly decides to follow the Wabasso/RRC model of jumping Class every 2 years I will call them out on it too, I already stated as much. |

This whole discussion makes me laugh as I coach in another state and movement of classes isn't determined by the schools itself. Each school has to turn in a projection as to its numbers over the next two years and then turn in the data to support that. The high school league then determines based on student numbers which class to put them in. It rarely changes over the years but does and isn't an immediate switch. The school is given a year, sometimes two to know they are switching unless it can show that its numbers will drop again in the near future. There have been some scenarios that schools have opted to apply to go up in class but schools can't just pick and choose over two year increments to where they want to be. That doesn't make any sense to me at all and I would hate to be an athletic director with all of this happening. Scheduling is a nightmare to begin with, I can't imagine what its like in this section. |

Just recovering from the state tourney sorry guys. Give a tip of the hat to my worthington boys tho. They tried their hardest. And will be a team with a force to be reckoned with next year. But how scary/good is fairmont/mcw team for next year. Is still gonna be a tall task, with all 3 state finalists back next year. I think fairmont is the early favorite for next year |

Fairmont needs to shift everyone up a couple weights and fill the bottom in with young talent. They will be very good next year. Besides all the returning state wrestlers, they had several that were very close to making it and will be hungry. On another note, 3AA team did not do well at all at state. If it wasn't for Prunty how many matches in team were won? 1 or 2 out of 28? |

Yep. Worthington won 3 of 28 matches in the two duals. Prunty won 2--and they moved him off the more challenging kid (Horsman) from K-M to wrestle another kid that had around 20 wins. He won 4-2. Coincidentally, he beat Horsman later on in individuals, but I thought it was silly to bump him up in the dual as he should be facing the toughest kid possible. There was no need to move in the dual. They had literally no chance to beat K-M. Overall, I was a bit frustrated/disappointed in the section, only saw 7 state place winners and 3 of them were from Fairmont. Was hoping to see more. And then there was the debacle that was Worthington in the duals. Hopefully next year is better... |

First off I don't dislike or like Worthington, I do think they are coached well however. This section isn't deep, not one team this year didn't have some holes that coaches didn't have to try to maneuver around each dual. Yes Worthington struggled at State but who didn't againt K-M and ok Perham I had hoped our section would have shown better but lets not forget they won our section so who would have done better? Which leads me to the individual side and how are section gets zero respect in seedings. Might be because the lack of quality depth at every weight class shows up the most when our kids face battle tested kids, most of which probably are at pinnacle year round facing tough kids every day. Our good wrestlers may have three other kids in the section who can push them but those match ups don't happen very often with coaches moving kids around either trying to win the dual or save their kids seed at sections. |

Don't have a horse in this race but how does opting up affect the schedule? Teams schedule across all classes during the regular season so that wouldn't change. If they are in a conference the conference deals with that and what class you are in doesn't matter. Only change would be section time and those schedules aren't set until seeding. The potential for significant section changes though is present. For instance in Section 8AAA 6 of the 8 teams in it are opt ups. |

The scheduling is mainly an issue for the fringe teams, yes if you are located in the middle of region 3 like a Wabasso, you schedule all of those teams in region 3, A and AA. The problem is for teams like Fairmont, where they are equal distances from 3 different regions, and by teams opting up they could push Fairmont to section 1 or 2 which they don't have on their schedules because they have finally adjusted it for section 3 teams. If Fairmont wasn't in Section 3AA they wouldn't see any of the teams in it that isn't in their conference. I think everyone wants to wrestle everyone in their Section and it may be two years to make that happen for the "fringe" teams on opposite sides of the section. Then they get moved again cause of re-alignment. |

1. MCW 2. WWG 3. Marshall 4. Worthington 5. River Valley 6. New Ulm 7. RRC 8. Monte 9. RCW 10. Luverne 11. MCC Fairmont and Tracy don't lose anyone significant from there line-up if they can stretch up again like they did this year they will be tough, edge to Fairmont with the depth down low. Marshall and Worthington both lose three starters but I think Worthington is hurt worse. River Valley and New Ulm doesn't lose much but have some holes. Wabasso loses 6 starters, not sure if they can fill the holes or not, Hindt and Bart always have a competitive team though. United loses monsters up top not sure if they can fill it out or not. Quad and Luverne lost some good seniors and Fulda is what it is i hope they can start to gain numbers and have a competitive roster again. |

Sections are based off of geographic location, not off of your desire for competitiveness. We apologize that our geographic representation of southwest MN doesn't impress you. This section already covers the second (8AA being the largest) largest area. In its current landscape, how do you suggest this section be restructured? |
