Coach Alley,
That is why your teams were so successful. I would imagine the majority if not all of your kids respected and looked up to you. They not only became better wrestlers but also became better people. I love winning as much as the next guy, but here is a heads up for some of you. Not every wrestler has D1 aspirations! Some want to be part of a team and just go compete. They still work their tails off, but they are a wrestler from November through February. With that said, I will have this same situation this year. I will have several kids in the same weight. When we go to tournaments, I will put those kids in brackets that will allow us to score the most points. When we go to a dual tournament I will put them in the weight that gives us the best opportunity to win the dual. However, when we go to the regional tournament whoever wins the wrestle off for that weight will wrestle that weight and the other kid will bump up.
