I think he referring more kids that are 15 and half in middle school. The rule that a 15 year old is allowed wrestle in middle school is a stupid rule. There is zero legitimate reason for a kid to be in middle school at 15 and half and wrestling middle school kids. The physical differences between a 13 year old (the most kids are in 8th grade) and 15 year old for most people are stark. If your middle school team full of high school age kids and wins a championship it’s not much to be proud of.

That younger kids can beat older ones. He literally said it In the sentence before

Who cares, you guys have a great program. Don't let people bait you into these topics. As long as you are playing within the rules good luck the rest of the year. I wish you guys no better than 2nd at state duals and 2nd at team state. As long as you are behind the Raiders it's all good.

Exactly! Not anything to brag about.

I assure you pal, I’m not crying, just stated facts. I don’t agree with holding back kids to give them a better advantage in sports and I don’t agree with kids getting ready to drive competing against kids that just hit their teen years. Of course they’re going to win. I’m also not saying these younger kids can’t beat these hold backs, the Rainey’s are proof of that but kids like that are few and far between. The only people that get iffy by facts are the people that are doing the holding back Deputy. So before you attack my team and their hard work, ask yourself why my post bothered YOU so much?

December kinda makes complaining about October rankings a bit silly. It’ll be interesting to see who peaks at the right time on that specific weekend in February.

Agreed, until you beat them they are the favorites.

Best of luck to both of you, but Union isn't going quietly

Ryle hasn't had a chance to look great yet. We have 3 state placers with 8, 9, and 13 losses. Every kid on the team has at least 1 loss. Brutal start to the season.

So he is 15, but that doesn't take away the fact that he is still going up to highschool and showing those kids what great talent he has.

He wrestled for Johnson Central yesterday at GRC but he looked like a junior, pretty sure he took the covid year.

Caldwell looked great yesterday at the Woodford duals.

Dalton Matney dec. 10-8 over Colin Walls

Age is less of an issue then everyone makes it out to be. Some kids put the extra time in and some don't. Some parents do the extra work to get their kids better practices and some don't. Duke has been wrestling kids older then him since elementary school. I personally watched him practicing with middle school kids as a second grader. Spencer Moore skipped his senior year and is currently the starter at UNC.

I’m pretty sure you won’t find a kid in that lineup who’s the age they’re supposed be. I won’t dispute that they’re good but it’s not fair brag about them being in 7th or 8th grade doing good in high school when they actually wrestling kids their own age. I think if they’re doing so well in high school, they should compete there and leave middle school to true middle school age kids. That’s why so many tournaments are turning to 14U to keep these Covid year kids out.

probably the age of a sophomore and in 7th grade if he’s from Johnson central. Never seen a school worse for it.

Show me the post where anyone was bragging. Your just butt hurt because your team has been irrelevant for a long time and you’re looking for any excuse in the world to make up for that.

Why don’t you just cry a little more pal. You can cry all you want but the facts are if they turn 19 after the start of their senior year they’re eligible. That’s the rule and many teams across the state take advantage of that. Maybe if your team spent more time getting better, instead of making excuses why other teams are better than you, you wouldn’t be so bad. Which team do you root for?
