cbg Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Does it really matter where a wrestler is seeded? The real studs will rise to the occasion and the pretenders will fall to the side. All you can hope for with a seed is that the top wrestlers do not meet before the 1/4 finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingGod Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I may be wrong but I was under the impression that the seeding closed today at 10pm on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, which is why seeding is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 As I said early martin shouldn't be as low as 5th, but i think dooley beat him 2 out of 3 last year. Dooley is the returning Father Ryan champ, pinning the state champ and former Ryan invitational champ in the finals. The #1 seed got beat by a MD in the RYAN finals as well and got beat by MD in the state tourney. My guess is they used a track formula and not voted on by the coaches... anyway you have to beat the best to be the best. My bet, whoever wins 120 will be OW and maybe best match at the same time.

barbwire Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hopefully the weather does not impact this tournament by preventing some of the out of town/state teams from traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real studs will rise to the occasion and the pretenders will fall to the side. All you can hope for with a seed is that the top wrestlers do not meet before the 1/4 finals. Of course it matters. For the very reason you said so that the top wrestlers reach the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I have been informed the 2017 Johnny Drennan Memorial Wrestling Tournament will be postponed until Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbwire Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Unfortunately mother nature forces this to a 1 day tournament. As in past weather shortened tournaments, this means first two rounds are now single elimination. This is necessary due to the 5 match rule. Wrestlers losing in the quarterfinals will then be pulled down to the first round of consos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No what I said was that so the top wrestlers do not meet before the 1/4 finals. I also said that the real studs will rise to the occasion and the pretenders will fall to the side. IMO, winning is the only thing that matters so if you get beat in the prelims, 1/4 finals, semi-finals or finals it's all the same, YOU GOT BEAT! You can rest assured that there is one coach in the tournament that will throw any trophy other than a championship trophy in the dumpster and that includes a state runner-up trophy.
