See below for the "fallout" from the Norton Regional! Look at the state qualifiers, ranked wrestlers, 20+ winning records not getting to go to the show--a flippant "deal with it" or "life is tough" does not even begin to account for the injustice done to these kids. The worst record qualifying from Norton was a .500 record.
