Senior year of high school I walked off the football field at 230+ in November. My wrestling coach wanted to me stay in the 180 to 190 range. I wanted to play football and made first-team all-prep in football. Lost 20 pounds in the wrestling room but no way was I cutting another 25 plus to get to 185. I got my butt handed to me by some guys who I had actually blocked well on the football field. It was a long season for me - would have loved a 215 class.
