I never said that Hughbanks weighed 38.6...I don't know what he weighs, but I know that he has wrestled 40 most of the year probably because his dad didn't want to wrestle the 33-35 lb kids who are younger and go at 37 lbs. My post was that he is probably between 37-40 (just my guess by looking at him) and that if he ends up at 37 lbs, he would be a contender!!! Let's don't turn this post (which is looking for contenders' names) into a post that calls out kids and coaches for cutting weight.

As a side note, my boy was weighing 37.5 to 38.0 just 2 months ago. He "cut" weight to go 37 at JOC and Tulsa Nationals. He "cut" the weight by spitting in a cup on the way to those weigh-ins which was 2.5-3 hours. "Cutting" or "pulling" weight would be someone dropping a few pounds to make weight. These kids' weight will fluctuate anyway, and spitting to encourage that fluctuation to move the way you need it to is not "cutting." If a kid who weighs 3/4 pound over 37 wants to make that weight, it is not difficult to do.
