100% agree with Chad!! Cough, cough. Lol.
But, if your kid is gonna wrestle in HS, then why not welcome the challenge? If I'm mistaken, you're all the same age? So what's the big deal? Are you medal hunting, or looking for competition? High school coaches don't medal hunt, they go where the competition is. Only medal hunting they look at is HS STATE.

And yes, Will welcomed it his 8th grade year, same as Jake.

Go look where they are now as High Schoolers.
It's what it takes.
