Region 6 has all four in the AAA 106 quarterfinals. Is there another AAA weight that has four (or even three) from the same region?

Just curious. I've not looked beyond 106, but was surprised to discover that. Is that somehow a fluke?

Region 6 also has all four in AAA 160

My 171 was ranked in the top 6 going in to TNAAU State & missed by over 6 pounds last year! He's a Freshman now so he at least gets a few more years of HS wrestling, but he was under on Thursday by .5 before our weigh ins Friday night at the Ag Center. I think Ronald McDonald got a hold of him before he hit I 40 West on the way to Franklin....

Luckily he was just a freshman, as a coach that’s gotta be very frustrating. Luckily your kid was only a freshman and I’m sure was a learning experience for him. I really hate it for the Cotton kid. He was a senior and a very good wrestler

Missing weight is a total lack of maturity and mental toughness.  For the most part kids today cut very little weight so even if they have a growth spurt they should be able to make weight.  Not like the old day's when I witnessed a coach having to hold a father back from physically attacking his son for not making weight at the district tournament.

Amen CBG, they cut very little weight and it's not like they much farther to go to keep the weight off before being able to consume whatever they wanted as well as they have 2 extra pounds after Christmas, plus if I am not mistaken 1 lb each day after for the tourney.

Both my boys cut 30lbs this yr. I know of others that have cut 15-20. Ten lbs is very common.

If both your sons cut 30lb this season they must be wrestling in the upper weights and have had a high percentage of body fat.  With the current testing methods being used there is no way a normal wrestler that has been training during the offseason  is allowed to drop 30lb if they don't have a high body fat percentage unless someone is fudging with the test.  Lets also remember that you must be fully hydrated when the test is conducted.  I know what a real weight cut is as I competed at 105lb as a senior and weighed 134 two weeks after the state tournament.  The first day of wrestling practice my freshmen year in college my weight was 143lb.  Now I will admit that I had a growth spurt of 4" and was a very young senior in high school.  The rules today were put in place to keep fools like myself from injuring themselves and to prevent the deaths that took place during severe weight cuts of  some wrestlers a few short years ago.

They were 212, 215. Now at 181 and 192. I know about all the rules and hydration.  Been doing it 13 yrs.

Cotton's departure opened up the bracket for a lot of kids apparently. Helped us out in a way, but we'll see how everything shakes out now that he's gone.

CBG would be correct, high body fat % for both your boys, I wrestled 170 senior year, we had the 130 pounders dropping to 103 at that time instead of 106. I would figure both your boys played football and such they put on weight for football season and had to drop that when getting back into wrestling. Maybe I am wrong on that, but for my time coaching and wrestling before that, I have 22 years or so in the sport before getting out of it the past few years.
