I think that people who were directly related to the team's success should get a ring. Placers, qualifiers, coaches, etc. I don't feel that kids who "stayed out" to "help the team" should get them if they didn't help. You see, there are kids on our team that helped week in and week out, and there were kids that wrestled other JV kids because it was easy. We've also got the situation where a guy who was injured halfway through football is going to buy a ring. I don't mean to be selfish, but what good is getting a ring if everyone can have it? Why not just order it for the team if they got 5th place? I mean it's just as valid for the non-helpers as it would be if the 5th place team got championship rings.
