Sometimes it is necessary to make your team better. If you have two stud kids that each weigh 152 lbs, someone is going to have to take one for the team, and lose 7 lbs until after Christmas to make 145, then keep 5 of it off the rest of the year after the 2 lb allowance. It can be done the right way, and it can be done the wrong way.

Just be careful not to blame losses on things like this: "that kid was cutting so much weight, by the finals, he must have weighed 20 lbs more than my kid.........."

If a kid can cut weight the right way, and still perform, more power to him.

On the other hand, I have been one of the people on this forum multiple times saying we should do matside weighins, just to get kids away from cutting. It won't happen though.
