I would suggest as for advice on the topic of what to expect as an incoming freshmen don't be in "ah" of the older kids because age isn't everything. You will take some lumps but remember when it comes to age now a days sometimes the the years of experience through the kids program can sometimes off set the age difference. Your goal as a Freshmen should be two fold 1. be the best wrestler you can win or lose, and 2. How can I best help my team. The main difference between kids and high school is the age and the team concept. As to the guys dogging on gramps remember he has been around the wrestling scene for 20-30 years in Kansas, and I know him personally and without guys like him setting the wheels in motion for kids wrestling in this state you younger guys would not be where you are today. I suggest instead of "dogging" people who voice their opinion maybe you should listen to what they have to say. I myself have been around the state wrestling scene almost as long as gramps and I will say between state camps, tourneys, and clinics, and national events years in and years out you should listen to gramps you might learn something.
