Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Middle School State weigh in locations

Each District and Sub-district will have a weigh in at 8:30 am Saturday.
Sunday in Abilene at 7:00 to 7:30 am.

So what you are saying is the subs or the district tournament will work for the middle school weigh ins, So if we weigh in on Friday night will that work? Or if we weigh in on sunday do they get a pound?

NO !! they have to weigh in for subs or districts on Friday night, and there is a SEPARATE weigh in for the Middle School State Tourney Satruday morning, at those sub and district sites, at 8:30AM. There is another weigh in at Abilene Sunday morning 7-730AM. There is NO weight ALLOWANCE.

I hope that the incident of one competitor during the Middle School state 140lb class does not go without discipline. Not once but TWICE, the display of poor sportsmanship, deliberate and intentional harm to another competitor is NOT what I believe to be an example of what Kansas wrestling is about at Council Bluffs.

100% agree

Almost every middle schooler in the small gym will be in high school next year. This weekend there were several wrestlers in the small gym that threw headgear, threw mouth pieces and cussed at ref and the wrestlers once they lost. Obviously the coaches are ok with it and there was not any decipline. Every single wrestle that through a 6 yr old temper tantrum got to wrestle the next match.

Coaches we have to a better job about not putting up with this.

Refs have to realize these kids are in middle school and kick them out.

We have to stop the baby crap at some point.

Relax, it was a long weekend. It is wrestling not chess tournament. One wrestler committed FM and this resulted in his ejection. You asked these pubescent boys to engage in combat and then immediately become models for Mr. Manners of the week? Not going to happen. I think everyone handled the emotions accordingly.

I agree with discipline. However we also need to realize they are still boys. How many of us were adults and made perfect adult choices at the age of 12/13/14/15/16? They are handling a rush of emotions (that honestly some of us adults a these tournaments don't handle to well) I don't expect my wrestler to be perfect either. What's important (imo) is what happens after- discipline/discussion/apologies. It takes a pretty big person to walk up to the ref/other coach/other kid and 1) admit you acted like a fool, and 2) to apologize for that behavior. The discipline is not for a talk forum to decide. That's a coaches and parents job. Again- Just my opinion.

I agree that they are young MEN, not boys. And I also agree that at their age they are going to make bad choices here and there, but what happened was not a bad choice. That was a temper tantrum of a 14-15 yr old young man who intentionally tried to cause physical harm to another. Try and imagine if he was 20y/o married and did that to his wife. Would you still blame age for his actions? If he isn't taught to control that anger at an early stage, it will continue to increase over time. There is a line between losing your emotions on losing a match and lashing out in such anger to intentionally harm another competitor like that....
