as i stated in an earlier post my son is now wrestling in middle school and loving it. our motivation for beginning jr. wrestling some 5 yrs. ago was to help him compete at the middle and high school. as for your need to know your opponent,i feel there is little profit in wrestling the same kids 3,4,and5 times a season. it is for this reason we spent our jr. time
at the kickoff clasic, cotton bowl, usjoc,and tulsa nationals.
we could debate the verities of jr. vs middle school wrestling untill the cows come home, facts are my son likes participates,and benifits from both
