"Likelihood if the boys weren't at the duals they would have been home doing little or nothing."

With all due respect, not all the boys that weren't at duals were at home doing little or nothing. My wrestler has been working all summer to buy a car. Since he is taking off 2 weeks for Fargo, he has actually been working his butt off. If that makes him less dedicated to the sport, so be it. To a 16 year old boy, having a car is pretty important as well. Somebody said something about balance in life - this is balance.

There are probably many more reasons why kids chose not to wrestle duals. We have to be respectful of each and every wrestler and family's decisions that are made.
