Then lets try one more thought. It's not 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. The majority are 8th and 9th graders. Any 7th grader that is wrestling 14U is already at a significant advantage as they will be the Seniors that are 18 at the beginning of their Sr. year and 19 by wrestling season. Let's call a Spade a Spade, they are Red Shirts and are the Same Age as the 8th Graders. They have taken advantage of the system and when they are 8th graders they will be the same age as the 9th graders you are trying to shame.
It has been brought to my attention by several posters that I may have over-indulged the age of wrestlers who were red shirted. It has been noted that me saying these wrestlers would be 19 is equivilant to Chief and Will mentioning 7th graders in the 14U. The number is very small, to the point it is irrelevant. My apologies to those with summer birthdays.
