Wow!!!!!! O.K. 6u at state yes...now be real how many 8u weigh 37,40,43,46, not many that means 4 weigh divisions are 6yrs old...The reason I know this is that my son Will went to state as a 6yr. old at 46lb. Beeson, Schroeder and Bockman all have great points we pay money the kids wrestle hard!!! As for false hopes for the following year to make state that's part of wrestling... Will has made it 3yrs. in a row BUT has a hard road ahead this year to make it.....Does he want to go yes!!! Will he quit if he does'nt NOOO!! He truly loves this sport...So in closing whether you are a parent or a coach 6u should be at the big dance and your kid either LOVES or HATES the sport after 6 LONG MONTHS>>> MINE LOVE IT!!!!!!
