The choice of the alternate was discussed and berated on another post, but at least one incident at Jay County today highlighted the need for either wrestle-backs or a different formula for determining the alternate. When Burke of Yorktown injured his knee this week the alternate went in as the 4 seed for the Delta sectional. He went in against the favorite, Trey Schultz, and was tech falled early in the second period. Trey went on to win the weight class, so now the alternate for semi-state at 171 is a wrestler who didn't qualify for regional on his own effort! The Jay County sectional swept the placements once Burke was gone, so now the only wretler with any chance of advancing from Delta is the fifth place finisher, not second, third, or fourth.
