I would love to see Kansas adopt 4 or 5 girl only weight classes. I think we would get much more participation from females if they knew they would be competing against other girls. It takes a special kind of female to battle with the boys knowing the challenges they will face.

I definitely believe that young women can benefit from the life lessons our sport provides just as well as the young men, and we should encourage them to pursue it for no other reason than more people will understand and respect what our sport has to offer.

As the high school coach of Ms. Revelle, I can tell you in practice if you didn't bring your A game, you were going to take a beating!
