Seeking out competition in the state is harder than just going to tournaments in Kansas. I wrestle my kid up in weight and age but when you have 37 brackets at that same age and weight it becomes difficult to get good matches.

Here is an opinion, stop separating brackets, if you wrestle the same moderate kids every week all year you are still going to be moderate at the end of that year.

ever heard of the saying" steel sharpens steel " well great wrestlers make other great wrestlers. stop worrying about the kids losing they will catch up or find that this may not be their sport, but allowing them to realize that it isn't their sport after 5 or 6 years of kids club when they are getting killed in highschool is doing a disservice to the kids also....

just an opinion Mike Pirl
