Good idea , while were at it why not find out exactly how many of the 8 and under 40-43 were actually 6 and unders. If were going to allow one age group to bump up an age to have the experience of wrestling at state why not all?
Patrick Lee from TOHK was the state champ at 8 and under heavyweight last year and placed high at Tulsa the last 2 years ,yet had no opportunity to wrestle at his home state tournament.I can guarantee he would of had no problem wrestling up at 10 and under.
It doesn't matter how many kids didn't get to wrestle , the fact is kids were not allowed to.
Either let them wrestle up or change it to an open ended heavyweight division.
