Just my thought - That all tournemants should pull a random start weight for all Finals matches, not always starting with 103. This might help some of the upper weights get some vote for OW. Seems so many times they are asking coaches to turn in their vote way before these big guys have time to show off in the Finals. And allot of teams unless they have someone receiving medals are gone also. It also seems that when they wrestle the finals from about 171 and up these boys are rushed through finish the match and line up for the podium shoot before they ever catch their breathe. Just my suggestion.

Just in our 2nd year of high school, but I dont think it matters when they wrestle Mr. Johnson. From what I have seen these 2 years, it appears that most of the time the outstanding wrestler is decided before the matches even start in my opinion. Heck, last year at St. Francis Invitational they were calling for outstanding wrestler ballots at the start of the SEMI FINALS!
I originally thought that the OW would go to the wrestler that had the best tournament showing, but I now understand it is what they consider the best pound for pound wrestler over all. Apparently, not how they performed in their bracket, but how they are perceived overall, regardless of their specific tournament performance/competition. I know that is not the case 100% of the time, but I have correctly predicted the OW prior to the tournament in all but 1 this year before the tournament was completed. Now whats that say about the selections....????
