A quick portion of your post Mark: "I don’t think NFHS started out with the goal of eliminating the 103# weight class any more than I believe it was their goal to eliminate the 215# weight class."

You could be correct Mark, and that may not be the actual intention. But looking back to originally having the smallest weight being 98lbs and now potentially up to 106lbs is an 8lb difference. To me, while yes it took place over an extednded time period, you move the weight up 8lbs total and it is an elimination of the smallest weight class.
