Private schools have rules set in place that our great sport cant change. Only thing is before someone goes to one specifically to compete in a sport they need to be told what could happen. If you know up front this could happen then it is on you. I personally have never believed girls should be wrestling boys at all but unfortunately I have lost that battle as both states I have coached in allowed it to happen. That is the only way this situation doesnt happen. Your not going to change the Catholics view on it. This is a perfect situation that proves it isnt healthy for our sport. Take up the equal sex rights somewhere else in the adult world and keep from hurting the innocents of youth. Is BS but is something that just needs to be thought of as keeping the hurt as little as possible.


My son is in college. I was speaking hypothetically I guess. My son is wrestling no matter what. If the Catholic School tells me in advance this could happen and I can see I won't be able to do anything about it, then like I said, I am going somewhere else. If I am Catholic, can I still go to the Catholic Church if I don't go to the Catholic School? Or like I said, do I have to "deconvert". And I don't care about anyone elses feelings or "equal sex rights?" In this instance, I only care about my son's, and the fact that he has toiled and sacrificed for years to get to this point. And like I said, there aint no way he's missing his opportunity now because of some religous belief, with all due respect.
