Connor Schram (top) of Canon-McMillan works to turn Jacob Sochor of Trinity in the 112-pound bout Wednesday. Schram pinned Sochor to help Canon-McMillan to a 58-16 win.
True that might be so that the 10are more action packed than the 285's. But ths 285 pound class do not wrestle 9th graders on a consistant basis. 103 is a JV class mostly.
If 103# and 112# have growth spurts and move up to the middle weights they traditionally do not do as well. The truth of the matter is that each weight class tends to wrestle a different style. Light weights are more speed oriented. Middele weights tend to have speed and strength and The heavyweights are more about muscle. That's what makes wrestling so interesting to watch. So who cares if there freshman or seniors.
heavyweights are about muscle unless you get a kid who wrestles 80lbs when he is 8. 100lbs when he is 10 125lbs when he is 12 165 when he is 13 185 when he is 14 210 when he is 15 and when the kid is 18 and 6'3" 250lbs and moves like a lightweight.
That's not Colt. That is Connor pinning at 112 #'s.

I've changed the cutline.
ReplyDeleteThose two are far more exciting than 215 and heavyweights.

ReplyDeleteTell that to teague moore, coleman scott, jermey hunter, colin johnson, ty moore, greg jones, ect... who all wrestled 103 as 9th and 10th graders.
ReplyDeleteAhd they too wrestled 75% 9th graders. FACT.
ReplyDeletefact, they are better and more athletic than 99% of the heavyweights that are from the wpial.
ReplyDeleteIts a JV weight bracket.
ReplyDeleteExample PowerAde. Enough said.
Age and grade don't matter anymore.
ReplyDeleteFreshmen(those that train all year) coming in to High School these days are completely capable of and are beating upper classmen at all weights.
You are missing the point the upper-classsmen are fare and few between. AAA rankings, 28 freshmen, 16 10th graders, 4 11th graders, 1 12 grader.

ReplyDeleteheavyweights are about muscle unless you get a kid who wrestles 80lbs when he is 8.
ReplyDelete100lbs when he is 10
125lbs when he is 12
165 when he is 13
185 when he is 14
210 when he is 15
and when the kid is 18 and 6'3" 250lbs and moves like a lightweight.
You have to go all the way to 145 before you find a weight class with a senior ranked 1st.
ReplyDeleteWe get your point about 103, now ponder ours about the abilities of modern day underclassmen.
I pondered and pondered and now I get your point.
