CoachM Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 We were informed at regionals that Faulkins had mentioned that the change might not take place until the 24/25 school year. Has anyone else heard the same? bomber_bob and sspencer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie78 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 157, 165, 175, 190, 215, 285. I believe these to be the correct classes for next season Cricket21, sspencer, Coplen187 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these to be the correct classes for next season Does NFHS have an official position on the effects of weight cutting on safety and ability or is this change their position?

sspencer Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) I really want to know this to have the young ones and the returners know what to expect for next season (there season is over for 2023) unlike some storied programs that still have full rosters. Thanks for the info. PowerUp! SS Edited February 10, 2023 by sspencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdtodd Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) This is less about arbitrary weight class changes and more about other more prominent wrestling states, cough cough PA, wanting less HS weight classes. I never understood the less is more concept here but do understand it’s hard to get big guys out. Nationally I think theyll end up settling on 12 but we’ll see where it goes. PS - 12 is a travesty. And it’ll be hard for everyone to comprehend but it’s better than 10 or 11 and that’s what some states are after.

Nate Spangle Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I had heard new weights for next season as well. Curious if this off-season, tournaments will make the switch or if people will wait until after next high school season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenHeavyHandz Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 The weight class change will benefit the Panther's the most. We may have 2 wrestlers at Who's #1 in 2024. busstogate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILUV2PIN Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Meanwhile, I've still not fully adjusted to the new weights that were brought out in 2011-2012..... Gasman and rgreenwood3636 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy1974 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Per most of the documentation around, States can pick between 12, 13, or 14 weight classes and it is effective July 1st, 2023: 12 weights – 108, 116, 124, 131, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 190, 215, 285 13 weights – 107, 114, 121, 127, 133, 139, 145, 152, 160, 172, 189, 215, 285 14 weights – 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 157, 165, 175, 190, 215, 285 I would love to see them have a 250lb class and just a plain old HWT. 285 always seemed arbitrary to me.
