Clarification on rules.... it says that Zach Vesta wrestled 98 for the juniors.... Dont you have to atleast complete or be enrolled in high school... I only know this because of a prior experience... The summer in between my sophomore and junior year me and collin hase wrestled at jr duals. I had asked mrs Altman, "Why cant Nathan (Furches) take it, he would fair better than me" She informed me you had to be enrolled in high school. So is this a rule or not?
