Personally I say drop the pound and a half. Jake weighs 50.5 on a normal day. He will wrestle 49 at Tulsa, 50 at Liberty and 52 for state. This is totally his choice. He went to the Kickoff at 52 and got 6th, being beat by a kid that had cut down from 56. Jake told me for the big tournaments he wanted to wrestle 49 and 50 but would wrestle 52 the rest of the time. Before anybody gets too upset he got to 49 by only skipping lunch the day of weigh in.
