The Top 25 from the HS class of 2012 can not be correct. I have read numerous posts that the key to success is recruit the top 1 or 2 kids at their respective weights and put them on the mat and just watch them win.
This listing would indicate that kids develop skills past their High School careers and coaching is an imperative ingredient to a young competitor achieving success.

That's just how it works here. At other schools, coaching happens.
