The format change will help there to be more wrestling. No more byes to the the finals or two match performances by some of our best wrestlers. A three man bracket is a fact and a tragedy. Under the old format in a three man bracket the #1 seed gets bye'd into the finals...and if that person's seeding criteria is questionable look out! This format creates more fairness, reduces the emphasis on seeding and makes more wrestling. If you have a problem with more wrestling, you have a problem with yourself. 5 man bracket #1 seed could wrestle twice. Here they wrestle three times.
If you've read my comments over the years I'm a big advocate of more WCAL wrestling. This is a small change, but a good one. Wrestlers bump around every year to benefit the team. That's a good thing! It makes matchups that otherwise wouldn't happen. If it is a fact that Waynedale opposes this change then I'm disappointed in the same way I am disappointed that NW/Way dual isn't a yearly occurrence. I know and understand that WCAL foes wrestle each other too much in the month of February...anyway I'm just saying I know the talking points and prefer more local wrestling.
CAT classic. I got to see several great local wrestlers, however it was Cloverleaf, Wadsworth and Tuslaw that were the powers there. I saw coach wearing a Bill Cosby sweater and a trench coat, and many great Wayne county wrestlers including a few from Wooster and Rittman. Mark my words that the Indians will be legit once this talent filters through. Seems like good coaching and quality kids involved in that program.
