What year did Maize start giving belts to the champions?

2009 was our first year to hand out belts

(I also think on sight weigh ins are the way to go for tournaments like this one. Im not accusing anybody of cheating but my son had an Oklahoma kid in his bracket 110# (I won't mention what age group) that was bigger than the 120# kid's. I just think on sight weigh ins would eliminate any doubt.)

Hey coach,

Not for sure if your talking about the our kid from Stw and Pioneer wrestling who won 8u Hwt 125 and OW, but we signed him up for Hwt 125 and up and it looks like they combined the weights. He weighs 118 lbs and has only been wrestling for two months. Again, not sure if your reffering to our kid but we definetley signed him up to wrestle above his weight. We weighed in at Ponca City and it was done very proffesionaly. They had him strip down, checked nails, had coaches stand back, asked him his name and weighed him. As for the event loved the venue and it ran pretty well for the first time at this site. We will definetly be back next year hopefully with our entire club.

no, I wasn't referring to your wrestler and I am no coach. just a parent/wrestling fan. im sure the kid I am talking about made weight, he was just bigger looking than the rest of the kids in the bracket. i didn't mean to offend anybody and I apologize if I did, I should've worded my last post a little differently.

I love satellite weigh ins make it easy to travel..saves money time etc. And u have to remember kids will cut weight to win a belt. If one kid did and the.rest didn't then yeah the other kids did look small

Does anyone know how Braden Lowe is doing? Hopefully it was nothing major.....

One day satellite weigh ins will be exactly that. You won't even have to leave your home:>}
