  1. I agree with Montymo that unfortunately some of the better Harrison kids didn't get a chance to prove their worthiness to be in FW.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Crider or Betourne wrestled anybody ranked and I know Betourne wrestled one or two backups.  McCartney wrestled one state placer and lost 5-3, but then the next state placer he was scheduled to wrestle was replaced with a backup.  I'm guessing those kids would've liked to prove themselves, after all the negative (but accurate) chatter about Harrison.  

  2. There is only one person who could upgrade Harrison's schedule and make all this conjecture moot and it isn't Wrestling Scholar, On The Rise, Sportsfan or any of the wrestlers with gaudy records, who have been named on here. It's the Harrison Head Coach. As long as he wants to wrestle a weak schedule (rated around 150th) and pile up wins, the Harrison kids will have to be content with records, rather than competition. Harvest Classic Harrison?? Put up or ...

  3. Don't mean any disrespect. Only stating the obvious. Harrison has had a kid with the most wins in the State, each of the last two years. Good, talented kids. Any coach who upgrades his schedule, knows they're getting better prep for February, but might take some losses in the process. It's a trade off. If Harrison gets in Harvest and team state, good chance they will suffer more losses than they normally do.

  4. What's keeping them from testing themselves against the Region schools? I can guess from looking at the gaudy records of their wrestlers, AND their inflated Dual record... it's because their coach doesn't want the better competition. What else could it be? Teams can schedule tougher in any sport, if they want to.

  5. Didn't do anything to my butt.  I just think Jr. High is Jr. High and in a time when there's a lot of chest thumping and big egos...suggesting a 13 year old would place with 17-18 year olds, serves no good purpose.  I know a few high schoolers who got their priorities screwed up by reading their rankings too often.  Jr. High kids will have their day, but the less publicity at a young age, the better.  I feel the same about comparing High School wrestlers to Big Ten wrestlers.  Wait until they are in the college room and deserve/have earned that conversation.  Just my opinion, since you asked.  If Reiser and I were talking in person, it would be different, but saying on here that a JH kid is good enough to place in HS, when there are tons of hard working HS kids who lost in the ticket round or before...kinda slaps them in the face, as well as puffs up the JH kid unnecessarily.
