I know this but he did wrestle 152 a majority of the year. Taegen wrestled 152 all year. The seven pound allowance is supposed to make it comfortable for the kids to make weight not to move down weight classes. Either the allowance it too big or the rule should be that you cannot move down from the weight you wrestled in the HS state tournament.




Will, This was the point I was making before the event. Glad you agree with me now.



You HAVE to give some allowance or no one will wrestle. You get 3 pounds on the second day of state so I think that would have to be the minimum. I don't mind the allowance if you regulate the movement. I think it should be what you wrestled at state or one up.
