Agree somewhat.
My son's bracket had 23 wrestlers from 9 different states and was quite competitive as many of the high school brackets were. Yes, most of the "kid's brackets" were somewhat "weak". Some of the HS brackets were as well I realize. My opinion is that only the high schoolers should compete for "All-American" status. I do not think that it is "right" for an elementary kid to be declared an All-American. Don't hate on me though as this is my opinion.
