Ok, so 2 days and 6 pages later I guess I'll respond....

1. Brady is 14. His DOB is 4/02 (he will still be 14 after the State series)
2. Brady qualified for 4A HS State (won a couple matches, pleasant suprise!)
3. Brady chose 14u as a last chance to wrestle kids his own age in the State series)
4. 14u was also much more competitive than the HS division in our District . (Since entries were shown for some time, we also saw 14u kids move up to HS later in the week and qualify easily
5. We wrestled Dist 2 last year as 8th grade, like you are upset about, those Wichita schools didn't finish Middle School season until right before the state series! WE HAD TO WORRY ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS AND FRESHMAN! IN THE SAME WEEK!
6. A Jan 1 change wouldn't get rid of the Freshman that are 14!!

I'll stop there for now.
