Records don't mean a thing, in my opinion. Look at the kids placing in the top two at Garden City with 5 or more losses. The level of competition that you see will prepare you much more for the post season than wrestling competition that you will walk through. I would MUCH rather have a kid with 8 losses in a tough schedule coming through the backside at the state tournament than a kid who went in undefeated with lots of dual forfeits and a weak tournament schedule. The kid with the losses has always had his back against the wall coming through.
