Mr. XG............C

Since you started the list thing, let me throw a challenge back to you. I challenge you, or anyone else, to make a list of last year's seniors who didn't see the mat at state their freshman year. Not all of the seniors, just the ones whose only sin was that they weighed over 145 lbs. Not only because they weighed over 145 but they weighed over 145 - therefore they either didn't make varsity because a upper classman beat them out, or if they were lucky enough to find a varsity spot, they had the crap beat out of them by a real man at the regional tournament.

I would contend there are a heck of a lot more "studs" left without opportunity to wrestle on a varsity team at any weight above 145 lbs than kids that think "106 is just too big".

Give me a list of legit athletes that wrestle 4 years under 113 lbs, no make that 120 without finding the medal stand once, and I'll give you a list 10 times as long of real studs over 145 going home without.

p.s. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a little guy hater. Some of my favorite wrestlers are little guys. Just know the competition is lets say....."not as deep".
