The 6U pay their money. They show up to practice. They compete. They Should be included in the State Tournament Series. Jake is now 10U gonna be 12U next year, so I have no horse in the race, I still think 6U should be included.
It is not our responibility to save wrestlers, parents, and coaches from themselves. If the kid is burned out the parent and coaches should make that judgement, not the state. If they can't see it or want to push their kid, that is their right.
Let the little guys participate in the State Series.
