I think a HWT is easier for freshman than 189. It also depends on the age of the freshman. Many freshman are not 14 anymore.
This couldn't be further from the truth. While 189 generally has more outstanding wrestlers, heavyweight is generally reserved for older, more seasoned upper classmen. The maturity of an upperclass heavyweight's body will continue to make it nearly impossible for a freshman to win state at 285. If a freshman holds the varsity spot for the majority of the year and has a winning record it is amazing.
