Chief, Please provide evidence of how you determined the best wrestling states.
My evidence includes every other state. By definition that would include the best ones.

The governing organization of every other state determined this and purposely drafted rules that don't allow HS wrestlers to wrestle in their Kids divisons.

You stated that question wrong but more importantly, are you really asking that? High School wrestlers compete the entire year against their piers and then enter a three week series against 7th and 8th graders. That is your idea of improving their skills? As I have stated many times on this thread, all of your points that you have brought up have been brought up across the nation and have been found baseless. It is basically common sense and a bit embarrassing that we are the only holdout that thinks it helps our wrestlers.
