Furches: I see he has two losses. Any one know who they were to and what the score was (approximations are fine!)?
The same question for: Zake Peters, Ryne Cokeley, Cameron Jesseph, Derek Newell, Nathan Sommer, Darnell Bortz??? -- Who beat these guys?
Thanks to any one that can help on any of these.
I wasn't talking about your sons losses but rather the other kids that were listed here. I know you are sensitive about your own son but it was the other listed kids and their matches I was alluding to. They match up all the time all over the state. They've all seen each other over and over year after year and there are great kids in every classification. I just think the 5 and 6A kids have sort of gotten worked over on this forum for no good reason. It is hard to make broad generalizations over kids (i.e. "slaughter") Kids are kids and there are good ones, and great ones all over from all kinds of towns. The rest of it is just a lot of hot air. My opinion of course.
Jeeze Testy Westy, my son was one of those listed so I figured you were talking about him but regardless I was talking about all of them.
A lot of those losses are to 5 and 6A kids. Food for thought for all those who have been blasting 5 and 6A for the last few weeks.
The blasting is not about the top of 5A and 6A. The blasting is about the lack of depth and the steep drop off after the top two or three. The real measure is to match up 4 through 6 to see which class is the toughest. There are way too many losing records and too many easy pins in the first two rounds of 5A and 6A. We need to do it right like the Okies and invite only the top 8 to state for 5A and 6A if we are not going to combine them. This would make the mat space and other logistics easier to contend with when we do the right thing and move all three classes into the same arena. Man up and admit the 5A and 6A have NO depth.
Working on completing the rest of this. Update later, got to take a nap.
