Your response, please
This season is not shaping up very well for most area wrestling teams. Programs such as McGuffey and West Greene are having problems filling the lineup and Washington was down to a handful of starters last week.
So here is what I want to know.
Why aren't you wrestling?
Or if you are, why are your friends not wrestlng? What reasons have they given? Is it too hard? Are they too lazy? Do they have other things to do?
Why is it that area basketball programs, no matter how bad the talent is, still can find 15 players but wrestling teams that are traditionally successful can't find 14?
Oh, and don't tell me that the coach doesn't like you. I know nearly all the wrestling coaches and none of them run athletes off the team unless they are deserving of it.
I eagerly await your responses.

2 things that I know kept people from wrestling when I was in school. Hazing and the singlet
Then you know nothing about the South Fayette varsity coach. He runs kids off if they swear once, not at him or other coaches, but in general & the wrestler apologized but he was kicked off. He also refuses to let ANY freshman wrestle varsity no matter their experience & keeps them in jr. high. They have 6 freshmen on the jr. high team which is fielding 25 kids to the 6 on varsity. Plus there are 2 on varsity that are only 1st year wrestlers. He is very arrogant & a big deterrent was that varsity practices don't start after school but at 4:30 because he can't get from his job any earlier. That was known when he was hired & a lot of kids said they didn't want to go home & come back again 2 hours later. So that's the problem with South Fayette. Don't be surprised to see this 1st year program dissolved if things don't change for the better this year.
This makes me sick to see. When i wrestled you did what ever you needed to do in order to succeed. Whether this meant running before school or after practice or even putting in extra time after practice to better work on the things you needed to improve. We were two or three kids deep at every weight class and now they can't field a full team. Everything isn't handed to you and that's what kids fully believe. Who cares if practice isn't the time you need or the practices are to tough. I believe it all focuses around laziness.
Wow another kid in this area complaining about things not going your way and what's the best answer to this generation to that problem= QUIT. If the practice doesn't start until 4:30 tuff deal with it, If the coach doesn't allow you to swear, then don't swear. The answer to all of these complains is to suck it up and deal with it. I know those words are not said that much to this generation, at home, in school, or in life.
