To say these young men that have sub .500 seasons don’t belong! Shame on you! The majority of these guys belong just as much as you guys that are bashing them on these boards! Bronco what’s your JUCO record? Swayz what was you college record? You guys just don’t get it! Be happy for everyone that has an opportunity to participate in something they love! Get a clue!

I agree with what you are saying here, Mark. Going to State is a great reward for all these wrestlers no matter what their record is. I also agree that none of these young wrestlers are losers. Anyone who steps on that mat is a winner. I noticed on my son's team that the 13 wrestlers who were 1st or 2nd at Regionals last weekend were all real happy for and proud of our one wrestler who finished fourth.

Another thing that I have noticed in my son's own division is that last year's state qualifiers really have improved their results dramatically this year. I believe that they really benefited from last year's state wrestling experience and it will show in their results at State this year.
