Why would anyone want to exclude any of the kids. Growing the sport is what we seek the most,it would be foolish to downsize in my opinion. As long as kids are wrestling kids within their age group. My son was one of those young 8th graders with a 7/10 b-day, he took his lumps and eventually become a highschool state champ. I understand the concern but welcome the highschool kids. Besides the youger kids love being around them and are inspired by them.
