I voted for the boosma match, why? because to me, that was the one match that truly had everyone stop breathing for a minute. Boomsa was 46-0 going into that match, comes out and gets pinned well leading 7-2! huge upset!!!

Well, it was fun but the officating was the absolute worse that I've seen for a state contest. Several officals made bad calls, or missed calls or flatout weren't paying attention, especially during a match Friday night(no I didn't have a dog in the fight) but there was some very blatant unsportsman like conduct and the ref did nothing. I also witnessed the same ref count out for 5 sec near fall but only award 2 points instead of 3. These are not the only examples, there are many many more. I think the ISHAA needs to do some rethinking on the refs and how they chose them.

agreed, ive seen alot of mistakes by clock operators during the course of this tourney, but it still sounds like the ref got the call right. Now should it have been corrected right away yes but it wasnt.

:o Are you kidding me?! By the time this would even get to court, State would already be over. Talk about being a sore loser. Im sorry, i understand a mistake may have been made but what this boils down to from what Ive gathered so is Kieffer stopped wrestling before the whistle was blown, had he kept wrestling, totally different ending im sure. I hate to say that but thats moral of the story, wrestle till stopped. But Ive read this thread probably 5 times now, I still cant tell you what happened because of the stories changing and being different. If the ref made a mistake, ok deal with that but until the video is posted, nobody is going to be able to understand exactly what happened.

Funny when someone unexpected steps up and wins semi-state , someone always has to come out make up excuses as to why the kids he beat didn't win. If henderson is such a stud, then a little cold wouldn't have stop him. He got beat 19-3, thats the end of the story there. Besides, it wasnt even in the finals. Rieker stepped it up and beat 2 other good solid wrestlersin Moody and Giesmeir to win the whole thing and I don't see either one of them on here crying about it.

Does it really matter who was rooting for who fan wise? You guys make it sound like the crowd won th match and are taking away from what was an awesome match between 2 awesome wrestlers.

Zach Rieker,130 #1, got beat, 13-6 in first round, Baron Rieker is 125 semi-state champ!!!!!

Elaborate please? what happened?

Thank you, that answered my question unlike leggin89 who is missing the point and thinking im accusing the bracket maker of being wrong, which IM NOT, I was simply trying to understand how brackets are done, not questioning the ones posted here. apparently someone is touchy on the issue

I understand that hes more than likely correct not saying hes not, im just trying to learn what the method used by the state to fill the brackets is? Thanks

So now that the regionals are settled, who do you all think we place in top 4 at evansville in each class?

Are we 100 percent sure on the score of Collet over Emmit? Im hearing 8-0, 5-0 and 7-0 and 6 -0 all from different sources including 2 newspapers?

So Ive heard. Just curious but what factors are looked at when putting kids in certain brackets?

okay thanks, do you know when the official ones will b released from the State? Im assuming monday or tuesday?

So are these brackets set it stone as official or are they a prediction?
