JORVILLE

5 Freshman still unbeaten heading into tomorrow. Also some more at heavier weights with great chances to punch their ticket to state 

Everyone knew this kid was good but I don't think anyone was expecting him to be 34-0 and pinning returning state placer Blake Wolf in a just over a minute. 

Haha yeah, I didn't even realize that most of the death draws have a Lowell kid in them. Brutal.

Great Write up . Glad Lowell be a part of the potential Extra Extra Death Draws . It will be fun and good luck to everyone who made it there.

Yes very nice reward for finishing higher up out of the CP Regional. Not just our kids who finished in 4th but multiple 4 seeds out of the CP Regional seemed to get favorable draws.

I appreciate your post because it has my son listed( Aidan Kincaide). Lots of great wrestling this weekend.

It really is even simpler for the IHSAA than some live reveal show and the bracket population after.  With there being 12 formula's it shouldn't be an issue if in fact they were all being used, it was done randomly, and then releases as the semi-state brackets a few days later rather than giving the formula out early (as use to occur).  The problems seems to be the IHSAA is only using some of the 12 possible formulas and the have started to follow a pretty noticeable pattern with the formulas used each year.  Not sure if its due to their laziness or whatever, but it is clearly starting to cause some concern. 
 
I don't blame some coaches for wanting to figure out the draw if the pattern has become that predictable.  The issue here though is since Regionals finish at different times there is a  window available for some to "game the system" of what final round placement would work best for them if they want to end up in one of the best semi-state pod to possibly advance. While a risky strategy without knowing full Regional results, it is still one I have heard some coaches suggest when faced with the alternative of an almost certain "death draw" to make it to state. 
 
No one wants to see the same pattern of "good" or "bad" semi-state draws every year due to certain very strong regionals always feeding in the same weight classes the same way.  And no one wants to even consider the idea of someone "gaming the system" to gain a semi-state bracket advantage.  Both of these are easily solved by the IHSAA take the time to truly randomize all 12 formulas to create the brackets.
 
I haven't done any research, but is this same exact pattern starting to show itself at the state level too?  Or has the IHSAA shown a little more attention to the state brackets with a truly randomized formula?

Hence why the draw should be done live and no formula for some secret society to know beforehand.

Should do a live lottery drawing and make public not the behind the scenes here you go brackets 

They do have some great draws which which will help. I would say 7/8 Champs is realistic but the good thing we will find out here on Saturday. The Maldonado boys in my opinion got tough draws for being Regional Champs. Griffin has great draw with DeMarco, Maldonado, and Zar being on the opposite side.

No way does CP get 9 IMO . They will definitely win the Semi State and have the most but 9 seems like major Homer picks 

Sleeping on Horn . I think he will prove his ranking this weekend
