OK, so bare with me...
I’m just saying that yes it will help some kids, yes it is an improvement, but it won’t solve the issue. Then it will be why can’t my kid wrestle kids of their own age and maturity level. I got to say that I agree.
I think that in terms of Heavy weight or even light weights (any weight outside of our allowed weight guideline, use the Rossville method of Block bracketing. When the entries for subs come in we look at the state as a whole. If there are 9 kids that are within the guide lines of weight variance then you create a weight bracket for them. I say nine cause that should be the bare minimum for a state bracket so no one just gets a medal. If there is not 9 then we refund their entry fee due to lack of competition. That way NO ONE can say we did not provide an opportunity for a kid of any weight to wrestle. I mean does it get anymore fair then that.
I understand there are some how do we order medals for subs for a class if we don’t know they exist. Well if they end up wrestling we give them to them at state because they will all be going anyway. I’m sure they are more interested in wrestling at state then having a sub district medal on that day.
I don’t know I’m just spit balling here but to me it is our due diligence to provide these kids the OPPORTUNITY to wrestle. And if that OPPORTUNITY does not exist then no one has anyone to blame, we did our best.
By the way,
I did not know there was a minimum in high school. What is that weight?
Also, sorry about the grammer and spelling, this was typed on my phone with no spell check! lol
