I have a step son who is in the 8th grade in the 14U div. He was just in the finals against a 15 year old H.S. state placer, or at least that was the rumor in Ottawa. My son wanted the challenge, and won in a very good match. Should he have to move up to the H.S. Div? This was his second tourny back since he quit last spring. After losing bubble match after bubble match, he felt like his hard work wasn't paying off. This match might have been what he needed to relize that it is paying off. I am not going to sit here and say I agree or disagree. My younger son who has a birthday of 12/20, wrestled 8U last year as a 9 year old and placed 4th at state. I heard few comments about that. Whatever the case may be, Yae or Nae, I don't think we will loose any wrestlers over this issue.
