Madden is a returning champ at the same weight. In addition he is a 2x state champ, while metzler is a 1x state champ. The fact that Madden's last title was at the same weight generally carries more weight in the criteria than at championship at a lower weight class. And Freestyle/Greco doesn't mean a thing here. I don't know that it is a matter of conceeding, Madden has the criteria. Now they just need to settle it on the mat.

Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn- and most do.
