On Wednesday at the Florida High School Athletic Association’s online winter sports advisory committee meeting, a vote was passed to expand placing at the state wrestling tournament to eight places per weight class. This will now go back to the wrestling advisory committee before a final vote by the FHSAA board of directors to enact it into use.
I will say that I understand and respect both sides of the issue and have had many conversations since that vote, but I feel like rewarding two more kids that won matches at the state tournament is a good thing that isn’t going dilute the accomplishments of any other.
