nkraus 95 Posted April 10 Feels ridiculous to me. Garrett has overshot their expectations the last few years. Unseeded and placing 7th, with two injured starters two yeas ago. This season we were seeded 4th and placed 2nd losing 37-33 to Wawassee. So, when in vote in consideration you don't vote the returning runner up who has exceeded expectations the last two, three seasons actually...seems pretty illogical. The "we want new blood in the tournament" would be a pretty crappy argument. 9 Antknee, poppem215, swain358 and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 156 Posted April 10 How many starters does Garrett have returning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nkraus 95 Posted April 10 2 minutes ago, AJ said: How many starters does Garrett have returning? Just 8. Plus two others kids who have started in the last two years. So 10 of our starters next year will have been starters in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestling Scholar 470 Posted April 10 Based on the tale of the tape, Rochester and Southridge look to be more solid candidates based on prior year state tournament performance of returners. Not sure if anybody has any Freshman big hitters or any other info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really care which way the decision goes here. However, since you brought this up its worth pointing out that according to our Team State Points Value Categories, the Carroll's Sectional (Garrett) is just one point ahead of Peru's Sectional (Rochester) which is designed to give additional credit when coming out of a harder grouping of teams. And both Carroll and Peru are at the exact same Regional Point level. Plus, currently Peru's sectional and regional point value falls in what I would consider the middle range rather than the bottom/weakest. Although the calculations may not be perfect I trust they are pretty close based on all the data maligned has collected over the year. So while the numbers do place a slight advantage in Caroll's Sectional and Regional, the numbers would say its may not historically be as large of one as you seem to suggest. 1 Bruins2013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Brobst 73 Posted April 10 15 hours ago, buscowrestling said: Committee voted 4-2 (with 1 member abstaining from voting) to change the minimum number of wrestlers needed for a team to qualify for consideration for team state to 7 wrestlers. Previously the minimum threshold was 3 wrestlers. So does this mean that if a team has fewer than 7 wrestlers, that team does not count as an official team towards the classifications? For instance if 25 teams have fewer than 7 wrestlers, would we bump the cut lines by 25 between 3A/2A and 2A/1A, or would they simply not be eligible as a team? I assume it's the first, since they never would have qualified to begin with having less than 7 wrestlers, but I'd like to clarify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I did put that in our team state notes/criteria. 1 Bruins2013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattyb 827 Posted April 10 Garrett not getting in and Carmel over Mishawaka seem to be the biggest arguements... Would love to see somebody put together head to head dual predictions for these teams (for fun). 1 Steven Sandefer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehscoach 33 Posted April 10 The teams with 7 wrestlers will be added into a total pool. If that number is something like 270 for example, each class will have 90 teams in it. The teams with less than 7 will be added into 1 A at the bottom, but have no realistic chance of being a factor. 1 Coach Brobst reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So realistically 3A and 2A could have 90 teams while 1A would have something like 110? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GWCoach 16 Posted April 10 I can't say I'm shocked we weren't voted in considering no one on the committee has seen us wrestle in a dual, and most have probably never heard of us. We've been under the radar for the last couple year and we were hoping this would be our coming out party. In my biased opinion we are a top 5 2A team next year. We thrashed #9 New prairie worse than any team they wrestled at team state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.02 18 Posted April 10 Seems to me that when we get to the vote in teams there will always be arguments to be made on either side. It's not clear cut either way. I doubt it was a unanimous vote. I suppose when you end up 'just out' it simply gives you motivation to make a statement next year. I know it is especially nice if you get to face some of those teams that got in above you in head to head duals. Present your case for the error on the mat Just my 2 cents worth... 1 nkraus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehscoach 33 Posted April 10 48 minutes ago, Y2CJ41 said: So realistically 3A and 2A could have 90 teams while 1A would have something like 110? Realistically yes. But that can be brought back up to the committee within a few weeks. The idea was to keep it "all-inclusive". Maybe the better idea would be just to not put them in any class. To me, it is really irrelevant, because those teams will not qualify regardless. But I understand your point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warsawwrestling 396 Posted April 10 Place top 8 from criteria, then take remaining 6-8 by criteria/write ins from each class and have a tournament to decide. I'll have to check with the powers to be but I'm sure we could host! Problem solved! 2 .02 and laserbeam26 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.02 18 Posted April 10 For a couple of years I've been thinking 6-8 of the teams that get left out on the bubble (any class) should just for a super-dual on the same date. That way if you are a contender you have the date open, if not you have a back-up plan annually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tskin 102 Posted April 12 (edited) This was a very tight vote for this spot. And I feel your pain. I was on the committee when my own team Madison didn't get selected in the vote to compete in 2A State Finals. Edited April 12 by tskin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
