Wow--i argee with Will---world must really be coming to end this year. If you spent the season as a starting varsity wreslter-what do have to gain confidence wise wrestling kids division. I am betting if you placed at hs state--you probably won or placed at kids state several times already--what do you gain adding another? Is it parents or wrestler choosing? It should be up to wrestler. Pretty sure college scouts don't care what you did at kids level. As for fun--what fun is it for the 7/8 graders that have to wrestle high school level guys. Not sure what next year holds for us--but if we wrestle varsity-will not come back and take chance away from a youth level kid to make it to there state. Which builds confidence/skill--going 3-2 at hs level or placing at kids level?

Somebody much smarter than I said it best "prepare them for the road--not the road for them". My 2 cents anyway.
