When I was in highschool around50 years ago, nothing would have tempted me more to join the wrestling team than to get to wrestle a girl. Actually I think it's pretty funny, the weaker sex wanting to wrestle a man, what on earth?

Look how this story ended:

Filming on GIRL WRESTLER concluded in July 2001. After joining her high school wrestling team and still not being allowed to practice with or wrestle against boys, Tara decided to leave the team. In 2004, Tara and her boyfriend Andrew had a baby daughter. Tara will finish high school in fall 2004, at an alternative school in Austin. She is also taking college level courses at the local community college

Umm, here the "weaker" sex isn't. Keep in mind that a 5'2" 103 pound 14yr old boy has not likely gone halfway through puberty yet. A 5'4" 103 pound 17 year old "girl", with enough competitive fire to try out for men's wrestling, almost certainly has, and could very easily be a gifted athlete. If it's a one-sided affair, it may very well be in favor of the female.
