a lot of kids wont wrestle at kids state because they dont want to continue to make weight. There is no 2 pound allowance and these kids have not made scratch weight since before christmas, why not add 3-4 pounds to the high school weights and you may get some more kids
I hear you totally but that should not be an excuse to not do it. Any kid can just go up a weight or even two, that is what most do. My kid has wrestled the series every year. Sometimes he goes up, sometimes he doesn't just depending on whether he was "big" for his HS weight or "small". The main thing is the extra competition/experience/"mat time", etc.
