BigDog39 I agree with you that there was probably not a grand conspiracy to change the date but Mike dont you think then this was a major change to be floored and voted on after one discussion.As you stated the kids would get to wrestle the same kids in high school it seems to me you would want to see differnt competion. There seems to be not much of a different of opinions that somebody has to be on top and bottom. Ultimately if this is the way you feel then why didnt you tell them back then that this was just another obstacle for them to overcome instead of agreeing that it was logical decision to change. Our kids season is bewteen december thru march the earlier cut-off seems to me matches up better.
