I don't think that it is as simple as "individual over team". However, if you don't look out for you kid, who will? I also know that cutting down to weight doesn't always work out. My senior year, I cut down and won a closely contested wrestle-off which led to a mediocre season for me and a standout season for my teammate who bumped up a weight class. Go figure? I know it couldn't have been because I was mediocre and he went on to wrestle at Fort Hays! Sometimes matchups benefit you and sometimes they bite you in the butt, and still other times they do both! Confused yet?
