Often we lose sight of who this great sport is targeting. It's easy to say that it' fair or unfair to allow a wrestler a second chance. As I see it, this sport is about helping kids develope responsible in young adults. I know as an Adult I've received many second chances. Any opportunity we have to involve kids we should, it's better than leaving home. With all of the negative influences kids see and hear from day to day from Rapper, drug dealer, MTV, TV, etc... We as parent should jump to the chance o place our youth into a positive environment. I guess the real questions is, are as adults trying to help kids build character and a complete individual or is just wanting our kids to win? I would rather see a kid who has paid price all year be rewarded with a second chance to wrestle than see a state tournment with a bye.
