He handed Roncalli's Justin Kieffer his only two losses. The duo is ranked 1-2 at 125 pounds by indianamat.com.

Dingo Brigade Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Very interesting tidbits in this article.... Shelbyville assistant coach Al Parsons, the sectional director, said he knew the seeds would be controversial, and he asked coaches at Monday's meeting if anyone had a problem with it. The majority did not, he said. The IHSAA guidelines, which are not mandatory, also give the option of seeding a wrestler higher than the criteria suggests if they believe he is clearly better than the competition, but no one requested it, Parsons said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julio Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Sounds to me that the argument should be with the coaches at the seed meeting and not with the IHSAA. Remember they are guidelines not rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
