I agree with you 100% but by saying things are easier I'm saying with that wrestling is huge in northern Illinois where it's all basketball down here so there's more support by the schools, and there's more all-star dual opportunities and these seniors deserve to be able to do this.

may participate in no more than three (3) all-star contestsin a sport.

True that this by-law only specifies football, basketball, soccer, & volleyball, but I would want to see written approval from the IHSA specifiying that it was ok, before I would allow an underclassman to wrestle in an "all-star" dual. After 41 years as a high school coach in Illinois, I have learned to only trust written verification from the IHSA about specific situations. To say I don't always trust them with the gray areas would be an understatement.

I had this confirmed with Gannaway when I was looking to put on an all-star event, but I agree, I would get it in writing before actually going through with things.

It's already been happening. Wouldn't the dual teams that go to the Scholastic duals, Disney, Virginia Beach, etc be considered all star teams?

Technically, I would think so. But as I said, there seems to be a lot of gray area here. What about AAU basketball teams and volleyball teams in the off-season? Since wrestling isn't specified in the bylaw, one could assume it is exempt. But assumptions can get one in trouble. I would still want it in writing.
