Valid and true points have been made for both sides. I am a MS wrestling coach and you are all correct. One solution that would help both sides would be to allow wrestlers to do both at the same time. Currently our middle school season wrestles ZERO Saturdays. This was done to possibly get some MAYB bball kids to try wrestling in middle school. They could still go to their tournaments on the weekends. We still get very few if none of those kids, but it is an option for them. Why shouldn't a kid be able to wrestle a MS tourney on Friday and go to a kids tournament on Saturday. Best of both worlds. We have some of our MS wrestlers enter in Kids tournaments while they are out for MS basketball.
