I am a little biased on this argument having wrestled 103 for four years, but wrestling is the only sport where a light weight kid has the chance to compete against kids the same weight instead of 50,100,200 pounds heavier. I have also as a coach seen where great wrestlers were not big enough to get a spot on the team untill their Jr. year. A good example of this is a kid by the name of Donny Altman the kid was a little BA but was just not big enough untill his Jr. year. Derby has a very good freshman in Tanner Smith that will, unless he hits a major growth spurt, probably not be in the varsity line up until his Jr. year. I don't know the numbers but I am sure there are more talented light weights missing opportunities then there are talented upper weights, most of the big guys focus on fball and most fball coaches don't want their players wrestling. Peopla are always on here talking about growing our sport and keeping kids in the sport but they really want to push the little guy out to make room for the heavies which will not fill the bleachers. They need to bring back 98lbs. The argument of look at the brackets that are not full is not a good argument there are always brackets that are not full from top to bottom.
