Message: [QUOTE="RSHERMVIKES, post: 2627259, member: 2251"] oldude- - - In my 32 years of coaching Wrestling, the last 29 at East Lyme HS, I had at the end several years where 1 or 2 girls that wanted to join the Wrestling team. Personally, I was and am now against girls wrestling boys! I see nothing wrong with a girls team wrestling another girls team but in CT there was never enough girls at 1 school to field a team. I believe that a boy can't win when wrestling a girl! As you mention above. If he bloody's her up and destroys her, his class-mates will razz him how he beat up a girl and if he ever was to lose to a girl those class-mates would razz him unmercifully! I worried about what was a wrestling move or copping a feel? I don't have any hesitations in a girl that loves wrestling and wants to wrestle in college in a girl's program but a lot of time it was as an attention grabber! I usually left it up to the wrestler and his parents if they were ok with him wrestling a girl on JV & Varsity. Two stories of a girl in boys wrestling. The 1st girl in CT was Rhonda L., she was a sophomore at Fitch HS in Groton and her 2 brothers had wrestled previously and she wound up on GMA in NY and had an article on her in the NY TIMES! She was 16 and beautiful and a Playboy Magazine body beyond her years and she knew she was beautiful! In one of her 1st matches she wrestled in a tournament in RI and her 1st match of the day was vs a senior, the returning RI State Champ at 98 lbs. He took her down in the 1st 5 seconds and pulled one arm through the crotch, what is called a ball and chain, an proceeded to pull the arm back and forth till Rhonda started to groan and then turned her over and pinned her! After having his arm raised he asked her out on a date! The 2nd tale was 3 weeks later my team was scheduled to wrestle Windham HS at Fitch HS in a tri-meet. Rhonda was supposed to weight-in with the school nurse earlier in the day and have paperwork proving her weight. When we gathered the guys together to weight-in the coaches were told that Rhonda couldn't weight-in with the nurse and would weight-in alone with the coaches after the boys were done. After the boys left, Rhonda came in wearing sweats and we set the scale at 98lbs. and she started to take off her sweatshirt slowly and was wearing the smallest bikini top you can find and held the top out looking at the 6 adult male coaches in front of her then dropped it then took off her sweat pants slowly and held them out looking at each of the 6 male coaches then dropped them them stepping onto the scale where she made the 98 lb. weight class! After she left the 4 coaches at Windham and EL HS's admonished the Fitch coach for allowing that scene to occur! Both Windham and EL forfeited to her so she didn't wrestle that night. We've seen some talented, serious girls and some Rhonda types over the years. There are certain sports where the 2 sexes shouldn't meet in practice or competition! [/QUOTE]
