BLT, Coach G,
I've got a proposal then. Let's change the weight classes for State (for example; 12U) to:
64-ish, 68-ish, 72-ish, 76-ish, 80-ish, 84-ish, 88-ish, 92-ish, 96-ish, 100-ish, 105-ish, 110-ish, 115-ish, 120-ish, 130-ish, 140-ish, 150-ish, 165-ish, 190-ish, 215-ish, 240-ish
Sound good? After all, when you carry your thought to its ultimate conclusion, it means very little what weight a kid is entered at. In fact, how bout we get a few old-timers, complete with a southern drawl and just eye-ball each kid when they "weigh-in" (wink wink nod nod) and say somethings like "EEeee looks bout yay big", he goes over thar", and this whipper snapper with his zipper hair looks about that thar big, put him waaayyy oer thur"...etc...
