Mr Tiger,
I know who you are and you personally told me that you quit posting because it was costing you officiating opportunities.
Kids have one opportunity to win state each year and it should not include having to defeat high school kids who have already competed for a state title. The solution I offer is that if you are a freshman then you should have to wrestle 16 and under so that 14 and under would only include 7th and 8th graders. There are plenty of National level tournaments that 7th and 8th graders can get more competition at. If an 8th grade wrestler is to be too good to wrestle in 14U then permit them to bump up to 16U.
If you are tired of the subject then shut up, don't post. I have put my money where my mouth is while you have, for years, ridiculed my opinion you only take money from this sport.
Tony will not tell his pupils what they can and can't do but he has expressed his opinion. If you don't value it that is your choice. Tony does not MANDATE but unfortunately those who are only politically involved or just wish to assert authority do.
Count me in for $1000 to as I guess you don't feel I have put in enough already. How have you tried to make this sport better for kids?
