It really isn't an age issue from my perspective. The issue is the preparation that I spoke of and many concurred. When you wrestle in high school the practices and the competition put you on a different playing field. There is nothing I can for my son to match what the high school kids have. As far as every dog having his day, my son is in 7th and will never wrestle 14&under while being a high school wrestler. I am looking at it from a fairness perspective not an age issue. I respect everyone's opinion but I am sure if I put a post that said the sky is usually blue Nigel would find a way to disagree with me
