Mike-
Very solid points. I figured that both were reasons it was voted down last year. With regard to the small-school argument, I really don't have an informed opinion since I have no coaching experience there. However, I do have experience with coaching a growing program. My first year at WRHS we had three state qualifiers, won 1 match at state, and finished 29th out of 32 teams. We built the program by building our numbers. As coaches we can't sit back, do the minimum, and then worry about "the haves vs. the have-nots..." we have to instead focus on building our numbers to (a) grow the sport, and (b) turn a developing program into a "have."


The fact that girls are forced to wrestle at state in the middle of the week is laughably sexist.
