Well, Being that their is only one tournament that decides a state championship for the team, and individuals. The team will not do well at the tournament if the you are 2 and bbq. Honestly you have to go where you will have the most success, and score the most points for the team. Another thought is, can he make it down to 152? Has he ever cut weight before, and done it the right way? Does he realize the mental battle that cutting will have on him?
