Coach Prieto, I think you misunderstood what X was trying to say, I think he was trying to say that the weight being 106 would not make a difference to the list that he provided they would have went 103 if that was the weight. I don't think he was dogging any kid for being 106 he was just saying that the kid that is 106 would just have to work harder to make 103. Another thing, back in the early 90's we didn't get to gain weight after winter break we still had to make scratch all year except continous days of competition and I will check my state brackets tonight from my Jr. and Sr. year to see how many upperclassman were in the 103 bracket because the argument of kids staying down that low because the weight went up 5lbs(with after cert gain) is BS we still had upper classman in the brackets at state.
Yes Jeremy, you are exactly right. Coach Prieto apparently did misunderstand me. I certainly wasn't trying to dis 106, it was more about defending 103. But yes, that is exactly what I was saying and that this year if the weight was 103 instead of 106 it would be just as tough. Those guys would just have to work harder to make the weight. Would it make them "tougher"? Maybe, kinda, I believe. But the weight would be as tough. But I know for sure that 103 in 2009 was as tough as any 106 year. Man, once again, look at the lists I provided in my responses. Can you say wow!
