It is tough to do that, because lots of kids don't wrestle their best weight at state. Knowing the Southern plains will be tougher, they are more likely to wrestle their best weight there. Tough to swallow, but we as a state try to put together the best team possible, and if little Billy Bada$$ decides he can make 125 after wrestling 135 all summer, and that makes the team better, he'll get that 125 slot. Remember there are alternate slots as well. I'd just make the plans now, call them tentative, and see what happens at southern plains.

It would be helpful if the names of interested kids were posted, so that everyone could see where we have "openings", or if a kid sees a kid he can whip, he'll know to get involved and try to take that slot to make the team better.

This Schoolboys trip is a tremendous opportunity that you should do all in your power to make happen for your kid.
