Ok, you asked. In my opinion just like boxing, you win the belt at each weight class then move up. You need the belt at 61 lbs. first, and since you guys didn't win in Salina, I would think that you would want to avenge that loss first. Unless you are thinking that maybe 64 is not as competitive. Honestly I don't care what you do, and I think Mason is one of the best kids wrestlers that i have seen.
Mason or his dad does not have to look for respect, the whole wrestling community knows that he has already earned it.
