Of course, this was almost 50 years ago, in some other state, but.............
185# was next to last class. Next was "unlimited". Which was filled by someone on the football team.
Do they even have flea-weight classes, these days?
Anyway, the gist of my post was we had some real bruisers, even down where I wrestled. All of the kids I was behind were either regional champs, or runner-ups. My problem is I had my only growth spurt, and the rest of my frame had not caught up, so I would have been mauled.
My shoulder still bothers me. Which is why I am against girls wrestling. They don't know how easy it is to get tore up. I do!
