and when i look at the state series from last year at subs, districts, and the state brackets, there was alot of extra room for wrestlers in the 10 and under weights of 150 and 170. so they wouldn,t have had to make any extra brackets. just make a rule for all HWT,S to wrestle up in age. and if you want kids to try and cut weight, put a restriction on it. like if thet start the year at 135, cut to 125. but if kids like patrick lee, taye washington, and robert king start the year at 150, move them up. that makes the older kids earn their way without a walk to state. and this should go for all the ages. not just 8 and under. i went through this for 2 years. so it won,t surprise me next year when robert gets older in the different age brackets. what,s gonna happen in two years when he exceeds the weight limit again?
