Why we wrestle out to 8th place. We try to get every wrestler as many matches a possible. If you are going to build a program you must get your kids mat time. I have wrestled out to 8th place the last four years and all of our coaches appreciate it every year. I take offense from the negative comments about the tournament. The officiating from one official is all that I can see was wrong. We did wrestle for a long time, but we only took a 30 minute lunch break. We want a tournament for all kids, not just the best of the best!!!
