Re: a girl just wona state titel against the boys! no guy in the whole state could be
On one hand it's noteworthy, meaning there's been no shortage of boys to win that title in the past, good for her. On the other hand, it's a fact that the great majority of guys in high school are much bigger, so imagine a flyweight female winning a title in a state that large. Now that would be amazing.
Also note the 1A title, which usually means students from smaller schools/districts. Last edited by boyofwinter; 23-Feb-20 at 22:29. |

I'm kind of surprised that it's taken this long. Three are a lot of physical advantages that men have, but being larger and more muscular is a huge portion of it. The weight categories in wrestling largely neutralize this. Add to the fact that it generally takes into a man's early 20s to realize his full strength and the high school athletes are in the 14-17 range and it seems like there is a solid window for an equal sized girl to compete with the boys. And the best of those ladies will win a lot. |

Re: a girl just wona state titel against the boys! no guy in the whole state could be
There are some young high school (and middle school) lady wrestlers at my MMA gym and the catch wrestling skills of some of them are awesome, but they are very small. We also have young small guys who are very skilled and strong. Texas has so many young lady wrestlers that they don't have to have mixed high school tourneys and to my knowledge they don't. At the gym, we all practice against each other with instructions to go easy and avoid injuring opponents. Easier said than done - we still have occasional injuries but nothing catastrophic during the time I've been there.

LOL at the same old cringey, insecure, butthurt comments from the same old posters.
Some perspective is fine. Sure, she's small and she wouldn't be able to beat guys in higher weight classes. Feel better now? Funny how we don't denigrate guys like Mayweather and McGregor and Nurmagomedov - the biggest draws in combat sports for not being the biggest and 'best overall' but merely champions in their own weight classes. Not every guy is Brock Lesnar or Brain Shaw. Not every girl is a pixie. There's huge disparity between and amongst genders. |

Who cares if it is 106 weight class. She became a state champ vs boys. She must be an amazing wrestler to overcome the physical disadvantage of facing boys, however, she makes up for that in her superior wrestling ability.

Can anyone clarify this? I can't seem to find the information online. Did she actually defeat male opponents to win the title, or did the boys opt-out each time? |

For example, it might be the case that at this age range, 106lbs constitutes the 90th percentile for females and only the 60th percentile for males. So it might not be surprising to find that the best one out of 10,000 females outperforms the best out of 6,000 males, or whatever the numbers may be. Another thing to consider is that while 106lbs might be closer to the 'average' female size, it is likely 'below average' for a male. While this doesn't mean that an inter-gender match at this weight class is unfair, it does somewhat lessen the force of the "girl beats boy" narrative, as the most relevant distinction between the sexes (e.g. physical size) is being controlled for. |

and here's the tournament bracket: [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] She won her first matches by pinfall, 9-4, and 11-3. Added after 12 minutes: Quote:
However, I find it more important to do away with the "girl beats boy" narrative entirely. That narrative should not be some kind of bedrock that forces us to change other behaviors in order to accommodate. Rather the "girl beats boy" narrative is the behavior that we all need to change in order to be able to treat each other with respect. Last edited by Mixtor42; 24-Feb-20 at 08:35. |
