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.

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.

 

Of course it matters.  For the very reason you said so that the top wrestlers reach the finals.

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.

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.

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
