Female high school wrestling? When did that start?

I think it is time for me to identify as a teenage girl and get in on that action.
Some states, like Texas, have girls’ wrestling. The states that don’t occasionally have girls who join the boys’ team. We’ve told our boys they never have to wrestle a girl-they can forfeit if they want. But I always tell them that if they choose to wrestle her then do not hold back one bit-don’t be more gentle than they would be with a boy.
Of course, now that they are at 150 and 170, the chances of facing a female opponent are slim. Our oldest is wrestling in the section tournament today-first time I will be able to make it to a match all year. I’m so excited!
