Having been a wrestler myself in school the only possible fear I might have had of wrestling a girl would have been being bested by her.

I had a similar thought. Wrestling a girl who's your size is no trivial matter. She may not have your upper body strength, but she may have stronger legs than you. She's also balanced differently; she has a lower center of gravity. She's also done more wrestling with boys that you have with girls. A boy facing a girl for the first time could be at a serious disadvantage.

The other advantage a girl may have at that age, though it is highly variable is a more developed co-ordination ... I guess it would depend alot on the girl and boy. Seems to me if I remember correctly I was darn clunky at that age. :o)
