On this episode of The Way, Cary Kolat and Matt Dernlan join in on the ongoing debate of cutting weight classes from high school wrestling to prevent forfeits and reduce the number of teams who compete with semi-empty rosters. While some favor cutting the lighter weights, Dernlan and Kolat explain why that could be catastrophic to the sport and suggest their own solution.
