Just because you win 1 match or even 2 out of 3 in a week doesn’t make you the best man.
Nigel--try this one on for size. When I was a junior, I wrestled JV for the majority of the season. The week before regionals I won my wrestle-off (best of three) for the varsity spot. Two weeks later I won my first of two state titles.
The point is, some wrestlers peak at different points in the season, so not giving them the opportunity to compete is completely unfair.
I think that makes my point "valid.'
