Most tournaments have an Outstanding Wrestler award. It's usually not a bigger wrestler.

Isaac Dulgarian of St Thomas Aquinas was the Outstanding Wrestler at this weekend's Bob Kuhn Prairie Senior Classic in Hays. He had a great tournament en route to winning the 138lb title. He pinned Corey Spader of Spring Hill in the 1st period of his finals match. Spader is a fine wrestler and is currently ranked 6th in 4A.

Meanwhile, Preston Weigel of Hays High won his finals contest in a matchup of top ranked 195 pounders. 5A Weigel beat 4A Tyler Gastineau of Goodland 15-0 with the match ending in the 2nd period. Weigel and Dulgarian looked fantastic throughout the tourney.

Not to take anything away from Dulgarian, but I thought Weigel should have won the award (and trying not to sound like a Hays homer). One of the problems is many OW sheets are turned in before 195 lbs. I'm sure some coaches saw Dulgarian's match and said, "that's my guy" and turned in their ballet. Others filled out their sheet early because they left before the finals concluded. Thoughts?
