Vince,
Of course that isn't really what the original poster asked. The question was should "high school" kids be allowed to wrestle kids? Since the question was asked I assume that it really centered on the 14 and under age group. At least that's the direction that the responses took.
While a few 16 and unders do participate in kids alot more sign up and never show. Take a look at the scratches at subs in the 16yr age division as compared to the others. I feel eliminating the 16 and under in kids would push more kids towards freestyle and give them a well needed break in between. I would rather see those kids that were suited to it, be allowed to coach kids club members in the interim. But it would need to be well regulated.
