Kyle you are kind of misunderstanding what I am saying or what I am trying to say. There are a lot of coaches in this town that are prohibiting their kids they coach from going out for other sports. They are, for all intents and purposes, hording players. They make it so very difficult for any of their kids, football most of all, getting on the field if they don't attend camps (which some of the high school coaches are being paid for if they bring a certain amount of players) and if they do not attend a high enough percentage of weight sessions or 7 on 7 tourneys. If a kid is wrestling free style or playing on showcase baseball teams (and some of those high level athletes have a chance to be money players, there were seven draft choices in the city last year alone and none of them except for Bubba, were multiple sport athletes). The day of the three sport athlete is over. Wrestlers who are not able to devote eight to nine months to wrestling or football players who are not willing to devote all their summer time to weights and weekend camps and seven on seven leagues are basically not able participate in more than one sport. I coached the Greene brothers in high school. They were the fastest kids in the nation both of them. Had we had the same rules that many of the Sunflower league football coaches have right now, neither of those two great athletes would have never had a chance to play football too. That would have been a shame. I think that is happening way to much. In an attempt to punish the lazy ones that are playing Nintendo all summer they are actually inhibiting the top ten percent and wrestling comes out on the short end of that stick a lot of the time. I think that is a bad deal.

The Bubba Starlings of the world used to be the norm, now they are the exception. Dehner was smart enough to see the deal, there are a lot of coaches that aren't and a lot of kids pay the price for that.

By the way, I am pretty old.
