Fitts was a SS qualifier last year Yes, but that has been the case all year. Fitts has been with the JV all year. Lost a wrestle-off I hear. And not beating Dickens at 152 or Lee at 145 so not much room. Sad for him, all three should be back next year, along with Parkinson so not sure how that will go. But that's next year and there is time for the weights to shift as kids grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why 145 is the way it is. Lawhead ranked 8th in State, seeded #6 at Sectional and faces a tough kid in Landon Boe in the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
base Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Once again, the brackets for sectionals with 9+ teams are not uniformly drawn, and kids that should get a chance at moving onto regionals will be out after 1 round. I know the IHSAA only cares about determining a winner but every year I am frustrated to see kids not getting a second chance to wrestle back while others do aoberlin, Coach Masters and HomesteadWrestling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWINfan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) So far 15 out of 32 Sectionals are available, with 17 still not released to public. Check that, looks as if they have all gone dark? Avon, Castle, Elwood and Evansville Central are all now "not being released to the public yet". Didn't check them all.

I’m not a coach just a fan, so not much I can do other than point it out each year. i think it would be fair in those sectionals with 10-11 teams to seed the top 5 or 6 then place the remainder of lower seeds in pigtail matches against each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I guess if the lockout lasts longer than a day or two we needs to start asking their AD and local newspaper call/email the IHSAA and inquire why they can’t access the information needed to properly promote the event.

Then the next two available wrestlers are drawn into what would essentially be the #7 and #8 seed. The remaining wrestlers are distributed evenly to keep the bracket balanced and to assure that everyone has a chance to score in the first round. Of course this was the pre non scoring first round days that this was put into place. With the first round not being scored, there is some sense to placing the remaining unseeded wrestlers against each other in the pig tail matches. The reasoning behind a full wrestle back though I would imagine would be the risk of someone having more than 6 matches in one day. This is not perfect system in place now, but I do believe it works in the vast majority of Sectionals. If the brackets were not balanced, then there may have been an error in how they were drawn and should be corrected before Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigroscr Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 For future reference, take screenshots of brackets before they pull them, then we can blast them all over social media, and they would have no reason to keep them hidden.

The situation that is unfortunate is where there are 2 wrestlers with winning records who face each other in round 1. One of them will not get an opportunity to place in the top 4. Meanwhile, in the same bracket, due to luck of the draw, there is a wrestler with a very poor record (say 3-13) that has drawn a bye in the first round, and will move to the consolation brackets after a likely 2nd round loss to one of the top seeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
