I was always envious of those 2-day tournaments. At Delta (2001 - 2004), I think we only had four, six team dual meets @ 5 matches per. The rest of our matches consisted of single dual meets, county, and conference... 
 
I think the most matches we ever had going into sectional was 31, which seems to be about the state average.

Diff rules bk then .Wrestling 5 matches every Saturday, we Attended few 2 day Tourneys that you get 7-10 matches a weekend and Peck loved to get us as many matches as possible and wanted us seasoned for tourney time...Back then we also had good numbers every year with HOFer Sparky Griffiths pipeline, so that even our JV was tough and we would let them get 10-15 varsity matches in place of us Decent guys.
 
Matt Jaggers  (210-12) or Mac Taylor(Mac held HS national Win record at one time  221-8, between him and Jaggers that have 8 state appeances 7 medals between them) Guys like them made deep runs every year and had too wrestle the matches they did get, any mat time was crucial cuz they were being ducked a lot.. 
 
I seen so many teams FF to Jaggers not only cuz he was nearly automatic bonus points, it was his ruthless style being so Relentless and mean, that guys wouldn't want to get their head snapped down off the mat again and teched like he done to them inthe past..
 
So They had to get the matches they could,  and it got so bad jaggers senior year he went up from 125 to 135 to get tested in the form of multiple time placer/qualifier Brandon Gonzales of Delta who took 6th at 35 that same season.. Jaggers only beat Gonzo by a point , which is exactly how every match they had growing up ended  !@NavyGonzo  it's still the man though😂
 
I obviously wasn't on that level, most matches I got in a year was 47 my senior year and around 150 total, which is still plenty..I didn't make deep runs either being a  few times over a ticket round choke artist so I didn't get to the 50s like many of my peers at New castle did.
Jaggers vs Escobedo actually is the most combined wins going into the finals with 56-0 Jaggers and Angel 61-0... Matt was 50 something a 0 going into state his junior year as well..
 
With today's rules coach Peckinpaugh wouldn't have been able to break the national record for Dual meet wins by a coach with him running a staggering 1003 dual meets in his career with a pair of State runner up team finishes among countless other accolades.. There isn't hardly a dozen schools with 1000 wins in their school history let alone 1 coach...
 
I know all those guys from New Castle are proud of being top 10 career wins in state history, but they would much rather have a state title and team state titles... That was the longest answer ever, Ruth this being a very loaded question, I rambled a answer lol

I saw 2 for sure... Not sure how the ref didn't see it

Very confusing locked hands call?!? I didn't see it...

That call was horrible!

It was! Glad Jackson was able to pull it off

Jim Bob is the worst official in the state. Criminal that he gets to ref state. 

Can anyone text Joe and tell him to go un-mute Mat 3.  Ridiculous to not have audio on for semifinals
 
Or if you are at Gainbridge, just yell "UNMUTE MAT 3!!" please 🙂 

Looked like a front headlock.

Glad Tuttle pulled out the win. I think the slam call was terrible…Gonzalez was trying to wrestler after he had been returned. Was very impressed with the Delta boys, LeCount has them looking tough. Really enjoyed the Sprague/Tharpe match too…tomorrow is going to be fun!

In fairness number nine has been apart of several controversial matches... today 

If the First Session #s were correct, I believe FW got 28 placers

Ref#9 on Mat 2 must be a Cathedral guy!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely didn’t agree with that Call.  But Tuttle didn’t let it phase him.  Glad he pulled it out.  Great Match by both guys!

I was blown away by this call, thankfully Tuttle pulled it off

SLICK duck from Tuttle to get the OT win in a great match with Gonzales.
