Reminds me of the 14U State Bracket I wrestled in after my season as a very undersized high school freshman. It was the toughest Kids State Bracket I had ever been in. That continued mat time with high-level competition is what I wanted and needed.

The HS Division 100lb had 2 wrestlers at the State Tournament. I wouldn't have had a single person in my bracket until state.

Instead, I wrestled in the 14U 95lb class and enjoyed 3 weeks of great wrestling after my high school season. A future High School State Champion missed the podium in that deep state bracket that finished as follows...

1. Austin Hood
2. Chris Burley
3. Bryce Shoemaker
4. Clay Mulligan
5. Dustin Reed
6. Javier Vieyra

I sure would have been bummed to miss out on all that wrestling and I'm sure there are others that will be in the same boat.
