I just got off of the phone with Tony Purler and he brought this subject up. Perhaps some of you would listen to arguably one of the BEST kids coaches in the country. He believes it is absurd to put middle school and high school wrestlers in the same division. As he stated, it doesn't have anything to do with age or maturity but the fact they have better training, coaching, and experience for the most part. Further, he questioned why any high school kid would want to wrestle eighth graders. There you have it from one of the best.
I can't believe Coach Seibel doesn't believe that he gives his high school kids a big advantage over the eighth graders. Maybe some of you who believe it is fair never wrestled any high school kids when you were in 8th grade...
