Sent from my iPhone in both. Sorry. Some of the 7th and 8th will be subject to elimination from encountering a HS wrestler therefore not getting three more weeks.


That makes sense.

I guess my main problem is with "placer" I can see 1st and 2nd maybe even 3rd and 4th. But when you get down to 5/6th how much higher of level are they than the kids they beat to get into the medal round. (asuming they are a freshmen) What are those matches 50/50 sometimes? So we have a kids that could be just as good as the 5th and 6th place kids that could wrestle 14U under the proposed rule.

Why stop at 6th place, if you make it to HS state you have to wrestle HS in kids?



I totally agree with you. That was how the HS division was orginally set up. Beeson led the charge to allow the choice. I didn't agree with him then and I don't agree with him now.
