I my sons situation he chose 14U over HS because it was more competitive. In the HS divisions he would have walked to state in one weight or only had to win a match in the other weight. I believe in his weight 2 8th & 2 9th are going to state. Seeing your competition situation is really the same in HS our first match at HS regionals we had never even seen till that day. So many HS go to different tournaments throughout the year.
