No one is getting weaker, slower, and less coordinated as they age from 13 to 15. Testosterone is a super drug, and it's flowing like a river at this age. The same kid will always be better at 15 than he was at 13. That's a fact. To admit this isn't taking away from anyone's hard work and dedication. But to deny it is silly. Yes, this is obviously true. That's why we don't have age limits ands weight classes, because they totally don't matter. If you want numbers, count how many 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders place at middle school states each year. When you buy a coffee at McDonald's, it has a warning that the contents inside are hot. They do this because some moron burned there mouth and then sued McDonalds, as though they didn't realize the coffee would be hot. In a sane world, McDonalds wouldn't have to put this on their cups. That's how I feel about the rule that you have to be 19 to participate in high school sports. In a sane world, this wouldn't have to be stated, it would be obviously understood. But alas, we have to put it in the rule book because teams would be rolling out 21 year olds and people on this forum would be saying "rules are rules, age doesn't matter, you're just a sore loser!"

No he didn’t. He said the Rainey’s are proof the younger kids can beat the hold backs. Now the Rainey’s are great kids and great wrestlers. But won’t they be 15 in 8th grade? Isn’t that what he’s complaining about?

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?

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

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?

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.

Good grief you’re probably for participation trophies also. You act as if all this is a result of some back room shenanigans but no matter how much you cry and whine about it, it’s all in the rules. Just going by the fact that “you’ve heard it from one of the kids coaches” just proves my point of where you’re from and what team you’re a part of. I guess if you can’t beat Johnson Central on the mat, it’s much easier to get on a message board to discredit them and act as if they’re doing someone illegal. I’ll give you a little heads up though, life is unfair and you get out of it what you put into it. Life will always be unfair to some because of instead of working their butts off to get better, it’s easier for them to whine and cry and make excuses as to why they’re not as successful as others. BeastMode has every right to be proud of his kid and shouldn’t have to put up with someone down playing his sons accomplishments just simply because they don’t like the team he competes for because of their success. Jealousy is a terrible thing.

What a clown and who only pushes hate. Get in the wrestling room and close your mouth and get better.

Just another soical justice view fact and rules be dam.
