"At the end of each match one guy gets his hand raised and the victory is his alone!"

I could not disagree more. I think wrestling is the ultimate team sport. You can not practice without a partner. No matter how talented you are the tougher the room the better you are going to be. Which is most of the argument for those of you who think tough experienced kids should wrestle club rather than MS. How often do you see a program with only 2 or 3 good kids and they are always around the same weight.


"For kids with experience middle school wrestling is a joke. The competition is mainly at the novice level"
That is primarily because the best kids available are not wrestling MS. How tough is that MS state tournaemnt? pretty decent right, get the best of the top of 12s and bottom of 14s nice mix...how about a league or 6 weeks of wrestling those kids.

I agree with Will 1000% on not restricting MS kids. Classic KSHSAA to have the only regulation of any kind on something be restrictive only. Yes it would be nice if KSHSAA would change several of the assanine things that they hamstring us with, but......probalby not going to happen...and this may be the chip on the shoulder talking, but alot of KSHSAA stuff hurts small, rural schools worse...ie Freestyle - who is going to run a FS program in Hugoton, KS???

lastly - how do you do that thing where you box quotes from previous posts?
