24/7,

I definitely do not want to see 121 dropped in international wrestling and I agree that is a very good reason for lighter weight classes in high school.

The differential between 215 and 189 is actually 13.76%. The differential between 215 and 285 is 32.56%. The percentage differentials after 103 and 112 are much lower from about 3.5% to 6%. I also truly believe that there would be more heavier football players wrestling if there were more opportunities for them. This conversation started up on this topic because it was pointed out that one team may lose a very good wrestler next year due to being faced with 2 state champions in 215 and 285 at his school and that he might just concentrate on football instead. I probably should not have brought it up on this topic. I apologize.
