I'm not sure if this will be a huge factor in the future, word I've been getting is wrestling will be going to two divisions for boys.

That is quality content right there but keep in mind that what is funny to you and I can be taken as the truth by the millennials........

Recruiting is a broad term my friend, and not a negative term.

Kids that do not reside (or did not previously) in the KK school district perhaps would be a better description.

It would be interesting to see the breakdown of kids that live, or grew up in, the school district of the best teams. I get why kids gravitate towards great programs, can't blame kids and parents for wanting to be part of it.

Kaukauna moves up to WIAC?

  

BEST ANSWER!!!

Yeah...I don't think Kaukauna is really recruiting. Great thing about open enrollment in the Fox Valley is I have at least 8 high schools to choose from (Kaukauna, Kimberly, Appleton East, West, North, Little Chute, Neenah and Menasha). (I will say I don't know the current open enrollment policies of all these schools)

If I live in the right location it is a short drive to any of the high schools in that area. I can pick and choose. If my wrestler is a beast on the mat, head to Kaukauna. I don't think this has changed. Except Kimberly has been historically over capacity so you had to live in the school district to get enrolled. But buy a house in Kimberly and I could hit most of those schools. I think the longest drive would have been to Neenah which was 17 minutes from Kimberly HS to Neenah High School.

Now add in Freedom and Wrightstown and you have some great options with open enrollment.

Looks like D1 it is for Luxemburg-Casco and Prairie du Chien and D2 for Coleman and Fennimore next year.

Has PDC won a state title?

Has PDC won a state title?

Nope. Two runner-ups and three Semifinalist appearances over the last five seasons.

It sucks being moved up without ever winning a state championship.

Bulldog,

Agreed. When I see the word recruit, it makes my agent orange act up. We, as a family, chose to move here from Oshkosh. And I will say it outright, Oshkosh SUCKS. And I carry no shame in it. That city as a whole has taken a dive. We open enrolled both boys in Neenah. But by Liam's 6th grade year, it was clear Neenah wasn't the place to be. At all. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Neenah is a soccer/lacrosse town. There have been some great individuals to come out of Neenah. But the community in Kaukauna is what drew us in. We specifically made the move at 6th grade to avoid the "recruitment" phrase. We're here because of culture. Nothing else. The towns you mentioned, Wrightstown, Freedom, also great cultures there. We'll never fault anyone for making a move to better themselves. At any age.

Hey bud, I didn't mean it that way and i apologize if I razzled up a bad phrase. I know other top teams benefit from kids gravitating to their programs.. same way the college system is working in football and basically all sports. it's just how it works. college is definitely more for recruiting and it's not a negative term. high school is different and we all have mad respect for those top programs.

KK has been top of the line for awhile and they seem they are going to be that way for a very very long time. They are one of the gold standards for sure. They are one of the measuring sticks everyone measures themselves up against.
