Again, I'm not a coach, or a teacher or in anyway involved in the school system - as the same as the majority of people that post on here. I'm also not a NFL coach but I can certainly comment on the Seahawks can't I? What WA needs to do is to step up in several areas. WIAA is weak when it comes to referees and mat management. Watch a WA match compared to an Iowa match, not even close, they actually let them wrestle there and don't call stalling and out of bounds every time a shoelace touches the line. 2) It absolutely hurts WA more than anything that we have let Title IX bring down our college level wrestling and drop programs and lose good WA wrestlers. 3) Coaches need to be persistent in getting scholarships for our best wrestlers to go to the next level. Every year there are dozens of state champs that never wrestle again because they don't know how to recruit or to take advantage of the college systems recruiting process, 4) Parents - Especially Eastside parents! You have great talented kids that do not give education the priority it needs! Push your kids to be educated - push your kids to go to college - have bigger aspirations for them than working in the fields and the mills for the rest of their lives. If we at least do some of these steps we might see a WA wrestler AA at the D1 level again!
