This post isnt ment to slap anyone in the face nor is it a put down for any wrestler, I wish you all good luck, but I have seen it year in and year out that the top kids USUALLY will be the freshamn dropping down after high school, Im NOT saying that there are not some quality 8th graders, BUT lets be realistic here there is no substitution for a kid who has wrestled 15-30 matches against older high school kids taken their lumps and handed some out to, and you can not duplicate the year of physical and mental maturity a freshman goes through compared to an 8th grader.IMO nonoe of this compares to the 8th frader who has been wrestling kids his own age, even if they have wrestled 40-60 matches. AGAIN im not saying it wont happen but year in and year out the freshman are going to come out on top of the younger kids in the age bracket, which IMO makes the 14U barckets the toughest of any of the ages.
