    I know someone on Indianamat would have the info about middle school weight classes. He will have a match at some point. I remember watching a tournament a few years back with some heavyweight wrestlers. I would bet there are a couple in my northeast region of the state if he faces any of those schools. He's providing the team 6 points a dual when he makes weight, and that helps tremendously. Wrestling will help with other sports he competes in. 

    I think it's already helping him. Mainly with food intake. Before he was what I call an "unbridled eater". He ate A LOT. Now he's watching what he eats and keeps it under control. He's 6'5, so he carries the weight really well, but he's attempting to get leaner and stronger. And it's coming from his own willpower which is much better than someone telling him he has to.

    True. I do use Indianamat, but it is nice to talk with others who may not be on there. I guess the hope is for posters to post more about these other sports and athletes. I know some of the press around the states cover certain sports for certain schools. Leaves a lot of student athletes unnoticed.

    I am new to spectating wrestling, my son is an 8th grader and I have never followed wrestling. It's a learning experience. He was over the allowable maximum weight when he started practicing, got under 285 before Christmas break, then gained about 8 lbs and had to sweat and worry to get under 285 before his first match. He made it by .2 lb. Then, at the meet, he won by forfeit because the other school didn't have anyone big enough to wrestle him(and it was a Carmel Middle School.) Saturday at the Lebanon invite he has already been told he won't have an opponent, and tonight at Noblesville East he doesn't think he will have one either. He's getting frustrated, but I told him "Hey, you're undefeated!"

    According to the local paper, women's wrestling is starting to be something. Seymour currently has 6 women wrestling. It is my understanding that they only wrestle females. I have been told that other women are competing against their male counterparts.

    Hamilton Heights has 5 I think. They hosted the State Championships last weekend, but I think Saturday's matches got postponed due to the snow.
