I must correct myself. Adams Central lost by a combined 6 points in their 3 losses. I just looked at the score board and didn't realize it came down to a tie breaker on criteria. An unseeded squad nearly came home 5th (a match or two away from a top 4 too!) Amazing job by Currie and the kids on our "down year". Look out!
Congrats to Bellmont. Even when we in the County think they're down and might have another rough year or two (they have a couple studs not wrestling this year and their upper weights are green horns), they pull out some great team wins. As they have all season so far. Garrett put up a good fight this time, impressed by their 106, 113, and 126.
In other (area) news, SA was a disappointment to me. I thought they would compete a little better with the kids that have come up through their middle school system. They had 1 win on the day, for 11th. Jay County looked outclassed in 2A. 1 win on the day for 10th.
What was up with Western and Oak Hill? I think they were the heavy favorites to be in the finals. Was not impressed by either team.
I've said it many times to many people. Bluffton (1A) should have been voted in. They would have easily been top 4, most likely in the Championship. Other than that, the people who put on Team State did an amazing job. Went very fast and smooth.
