I honestly don't think classed wrestling will help that much if at all. The one thing I know it will do is ruin arguably the best wrestling state tournament in the country. In my opinion wrestling already is classed and that is by weight class. I really like the classed team state and I believe that is how it should be. When the kids get out of high school and decides to do boxing, MMA, or Jui Jitsu will they still be in the classes they were put in during high school? Nope they will be put in weight classes. I have just always honestly felt classed individual state champion is a watered down state champ. There should be only one. If we were classed anticipated matches have more of a chance of not happening. (Red vs Lee)
The bottom line is wrestling isn't for everyone and shouldn't be. We as coaches have to instill the love of it in the kids because when it is done right it is way too hard to stay committed without passion for it.
Maybe wrestlers are becoming a dying breed but I don't think school sizes have anything to do with it.
Just give me wrestle backs!!!
