Promoter480 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am seeing correctly from the IHSAA site that the route to the championship involves only the Sectional (Individual competion), then a Regional, then Finals at Center Grove, with no semi-state. Apparently only the team with the highest score advances to the Regional, not first and second as in years past? http://www.ihsaa.org/b-wrestling/2008-09/0809TeamRegionals.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire77 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 it will be interesting to see if that affects any teams that are better in duals than individual tourneys. i hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promoter480 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 What was the greatest success of a team that took SECOND in the individual sectional as far as advancing in the TEAM competion? In that previous format did any team ever advance beyond the regional? BY the way the IHSAA calendar at the official site still shows the team semi-states as taking place on Wed Feb 11. http://www.ihsaa.org/calendar/DeskGlance%2008-09.pdf I wrote to them about correcting that.

S-Brooks Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Lawrence North finished second to Cathedral in the Lawrence Central Sectional last season and then advanced to the team state semifinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Lawrence North last year was runner-up to Cathedral in the Sectional and then beat them in a dual on the following Wednesday at Team Regional. They advanced to the state finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBolt Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 This has ALWAYS been my complain with the "Team" state format...It STARTS in an individual tourney.... It is just not a pure test of the actual teams. But at least we HAVE a Team State... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least we HAVE a Team State... thats why it has been top 2 in the past instead of the top 1, but usually if your the best team your individuals can get you at least 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
