I am puzzled by this statement coach? While there may be a few changes, the wrestlers have settled into their weight class.


It is called letting the wagon pull the horse. I explained it all to you in the PM. Here is why it is literally preposterous:

Preposterous comes from the Latin word "praeposterus" which literally means "in the wrong order". The definition by webster.com is : contrary to nature, reason, or common sense / absurd.

Until the brackets are drawn and the the first whistles are blown we don't know who will be where, who will be healthy, and who will have what draws.

Making predictions on a public forum, like I said before, while 14-18 year old young men are trying to complete their finals, is added pressure. They are not college athletes or professional athletes yet.

Also, you have kids listed who have lost to kids who are not listed in the same weight classes. If it is promoting you seek to accomplish, promote the full spectrum.

Don't let the wagon pull the horse though. Wait until the brackets are drawn and then get excited for what is to come.
