I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice this... shame to see it out of the team champs too

Brownsburg had a wrestler take injury time every single match this weekend. He would signal injury time and then converse with coaches and get a drink. After 45 seconds of he was good to go again.

Watching this Iowa vs Wisc dual and Rathjen takes injury time as he’s getting taken down.  Official gives the injury time, Rathjen continues after a short break and doesn’t give the 3 pt td.
 
Reminds me of one of my biggest issues watching wrestling this weekend.  Coaches allowing their kids to take a time out when the going gets tough.  Weak.  One of the countless things that separates wrestling from the stupid sports like basketball, no timeouts when it’s getting real, you have to deal with it.  
 
Dissapointing the programs that are ok with taking a breather for that mental break when adversity has set in.

Wow, I can't believe this topic is already 2 pages long & noone has mentioned...

First and foremost, I want to say congratulations to Caden for advancing to state once more. Second, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who felt this way. The restructuring of the weights almost feels nonsensical in a way when you see the omission of a weight for 180-pound wrestlers. I’m just curious to know why there needed to be four weights that are essentially the similar to the one it’s next to (150, 157, 165, 175). It’s frustrating because not everyone can do the bulk job and some guys even get pushed out of the lineup where they once had a secure spot and because of that, coaches now have to choose between two impactful wrestlers instead of having both in the lineup in some cases. I know a lot of this is echoing what we both have already said, I just can’t reiterate enough how it doesn’t make much sense.

Everyone is being warned by garcia.  The region….do you hear this?

Clark v Beck was gold.  I thought Beck had 2 in OT, maybe if we would have turned toward the head and thrown a cross face in they would have given it

How much did the new NFHS weight classes affect and/or change plans, outcomes, and/or possibilities for both wrestlers and teams? I can’t speak for any team specifically, but I feel like eliminating the 182 pound weight class left a lot of upper weight wrestlers lost in the shuffle where they were either too big for 175 or too small for 190. You could argue the over-abundance of middle weights in 150, 157, and 165 seem pointless, but at the collegiate level, the weights are almost exactly the same (149 instead of 150). However, in contrast, there is a proper weight for wrestlers in the 180-pound range in 184.
