Eliminating the 103 lbs class, will eliminate alot of 4'xers. Most 4 x's state champions start at 103 lbs, with only a few exceptions. I personally like the smaller weights. Much more interesting and fast paced. Hwy Wts have less moves and arsenal to attack, and to me are slow and boring, not knocking them, just my personal experience of watching and wrestling for 35 years. Yes you do get your Jeff Boyles every great once in a while, but all one needs to do to see that by eliminiating the 103 class elimates alot of the best wrestlers in Ks. at one point in their career. (which would be their freshman year). We don't need more pushing and shoving by adding more boring upper weight classes.

I've seen several complaints that Hvy Wts get the short end of the stick due to OW of the tournaments already being voted on, and the poeple are leaveing. They even switched the starting line up around so they would actually force people that don't like to watch the hvy wts watch it now. People are not forced to show up at the beginning of the championship matches, they just do, because the little guys actully hit many many different moves or at least attempt too. People show up on time to watcht that. Just like people leave early as they don't care to see 2 215 lbs or 285 lbs push eachother for 6 minutes, somtimes even longer if its the usuall 1 to 1 tie at the end of regulation.

Leave it the same, or add 98 lbs. I seen a lot of stud 8th graders this yr that will only be sidelined or forced to club wrestling if the weights increase. 12 and under 64 and 68 are crazy tough and the bottom weith classes in this age group. These kids will be lucky to hit even 103 by 9th grade. If you ask me we are losing our best to cater to kids that play football anyway.
