It looks like several top seeded wrestlers did not wrestle.

 

Any clue as to why this was?

 

None of the 1 seeds in the first 4 weights won.

I thought the same thing.

Did cauffman beat coy?

When is it early enough to talk about state champ predictions?  ;D

Is there anywhere I can find the previous state finals video?

And Delta has more team state championships than Bellmont.  What's your point?  "Legacy" teams shouldn't be included just because they have been good in the past.  They should be judged yearly.

I was replying to someone who asked, "do you really think bellmont would have earned their way this year had a new system been put in place?" Yes I do believe that. If you were to say these 8 teams were the 'top 8' 2A in the state, then I sure hope #1 in the state isn't 14 points away from unranked bellmont. If bellmont qualified for team state 15/17 times, I think that's a pretty good indicator.

I cannot believe ppl are on here complaining.  The coaches association put the projected, best teams out there.  Let's give them kudos for putting on the event.  This was a great event and the champs were ALL clearly best.  No one remembers 2nd place (or 3rd thru 8th) anyway.

 

Warren will be a force next year, but let's put that garbage to rest until then.

Bellmont was 41-27 against yorktown in their first super dual, without brad busse. So with busse in the lineup, that's a 12 point swing. 33-35. And when's the last time bellmont didn't make up for some points against yorktown? A team that close with #1 should be invited. Plain and simple.

Do you really believe bellmont would have earned their way in this season if there was such a system in place? Frankly, if there are

a couple of teams from the northeast that should be pi$$ed at not getting invited its east noble and carroll, two teams that laid the wood to bellmont this season

Bellmont is tied for team state finals appearances (15) with mater dei. That's more than every other 2A team, combined.
