Heck I've been complaining for the past year about ole Danica "GoDaddy Girl" Patrick racin' with the boys in NASCAR's Nationwide Series.

If Richard Petty and I had our way women would only get to drive cars to and from the grocery store, but these are different days we live in now.

well here I am again thinking that I made some people mad about catholic school not letting there boys wrestle girls and if you new what I was thinking and where I grew up which was Wamego Kansas and was raised by my mother and lived two doors away from a man named Ark Decket and his three kids and they were great Catholic and I would never say anything bad about them or any catholic family and in fact right now my wife and I have foster kids in which two of them are girls and one of them want to wrestle and she is 11 years old and well I would like to ask you should I let her try? and just because she is a catholic in my mine no reason not to let her try and who knows mabe she will quit or mabe she may love it. So for the people that got upset I am sorry but I did not start this story and I just put my two cents worth in and by the way the coach from Hayden high school and I are very good friend and so I hope if I upset you I am sorry.

I say if u want her to try and she wants to try it to go for it. Only u and her can decide if its right for u or not. If she does good luck.

Don't know if it is still the case or not; but, it used to be a rule with whatever governing body was in place for Texas High School wrestling that boys could not wrestle girls. I know this was true in 1998 and 1999; both years at the Ulysses Tournament there was a girl wrestler for one of the Kansas schools and her Texas opponents took a forfeit both years.

Doesn't Texas have a girls' State wrestling tournament? I thought I heard that at one point.

Yes, at the time they did and that was the reason given for Texas not allowing their boys to wrestle girls. May still be the case, but I do not know that for certain.

This may be an understandable rule IN Texas, but if competing outside of Texas it does not make much sense, IMO.
