To further make my point on participation numbers and weights.
I firmly believe by high school you have many more higher caliber kids with more experience at the lighter weights.
How can the NFHS ignore numbers like this. We can not say the big kids are playing football in April.

Participation numbers from SchoolBoy Folkstyle Nationals in Iowa 2009 - Kids coming up on high school.

70 lbs - 21 participants
77 lbs - 34 participants
84 lbs - 47 participants
91 lbs - 52 participants
98 lbs - 48 participants

202 partcipants under 103 pounds or within 28 pounds of each other

175 pounds - 12 participants
190 pounds - 9 participants
210 pounds - 3 participants
265 pounds - 3 participants

27 participants between 175-265 or within 90 pounds of each other.
Go ahead and add 165 and make it a cool 100 pound range for the upper weights. I know my statistics and bell curves.

Pretty glaring if you ask me.

This shows me national wrestling participation interest in the sport by weight for kids entering high school. Not kids you chase down as freshman who are big and can not play basketball. I am not making up these numbers Mark. The NFHS is making a nationwide decision for wrestling for all states. I am telling you like I see it.
