A GA state champ wrestled in a tournament here and got first seed because he was a state champ. He got beat twice here and what should have been a finals match was in the semis because of that “state champ”. The whole point of having to place the top 4 for regions is to bring the best. The fact that we have some regions that have less teams is unfortunate. Hopefully, as wrestling gains more attention those areas will become more competitive but every region has strong kids. It’s math if you have 8 kids half is those place. If you have 32 there are far more not placing that could have with 8 kids.
