I wonder what this argument would look like if Jake Hattabaugh had not been injured? This injury really kept Andale from making a serious run at state.

Let me just throw the scenario out there for you: Hattabaugh is healthy wrestles to his potential and wins state this adds roughly 22 points to Andale's team score at state. They now are sitting at 127 total points in the 4A tournament. Hattabaugh taking 1st moves Lucas Cortez of El Dorado to the backside where he meets up with Colton Easterberg of Clay Center in consolation semifinals. Cortez wins and this moves Easterberg to 5th or 6th. Now Clay Center receives something like 124 total team points at the 4A tournament. Then Andale is likely the team is at the top of the Chief's rankings. This is all hypothetically speaking.

This is in no way to diminish what Clay Center has accomplished this season. I just wanted to throw another perspective out there.
