Mat side weigh ins are a absolutely ridiculous idea. Leaving aside the horrible time strain it would add to every tournament. I'm all for growth and change etc. How does anyone think this is a suitable solution to anything.

And Jonny has a Dec 14th b day. Now works OK in Kansas but when we wrestle in mo. the age cutoff is as of DEC 31st. So were he is always on his down year sorta and he wrestles often in mo. so he takes his lumps and thats ok.

What are you going to tell your wrestlers in High School. A freshman is gonna wrestle SOPH, JRS and SRS. Encourage them to rise to occasion and don't encourage a athlete to except a lose for any reason. Its OK to lose don't dishonor it with an excuse. Jonny's 10under up year Ks This weekend he's wrestling 12under(his choice) now he'll likely lose some matches and that's OK as long as he wrestles well.
