Chief, in response to your comment: "Caldwell will only go 140 to help the team. He's not dodging Arnold":
When they first wrestled, I thought Caldwell would win a close match - believing Caldwell's superior skill set would likely prevail against Arnold's tenacity and aggression. Now ... I'm not so sure that Caldwell is any more skillful than Arnold, nor, for that matter that Arnold is any more tenacious and/or aggressive than Caldwell. Too the contrary, I think that they are pretty evenly matched and on any given day, either wrestler could prevail and few would consider it an upset. I've always thought that it's really tough to beat an elite wrestler twice, so I would given Caldwell the nod on a rematch.
With that said, while not disagreeing with your comments, I'm not quite sure I understand the tactical mindset involved at the Chanute Tournament in moving Caldwell down to 140 lbs and probably moving Holden up to 145 lbs to face Arnold - save possible seeding at state (which I don't pretend to understand). To my way of thinking, allowing Caldwell to again face Arnold at Chanute would probably put more points on the board for Goddard as Arnold would probably have a rougher go against Caldwell as opposed to Holden - in fact, as mentioned earlier, it would not surprise me that Caldwell would win against Arnold and with Holden, the likelihood of a victory is diminished to an extent and there remains a possibility that Holden could even get pinned (no offense intended against Holden, who I have seen wrestle a number of times and who impresses me as a great wrestler and double tough young man. Now, all of this presumes (as I'm not familiar with the competition) that if Holden were allowed to wrestle at 140 lbs, Goddard would still be OK and get the same points, and maybe that is what I'm missing. Care to comment?
