Since I have some free time in my conference period, let us analyze:
#1 is Autumn Gordon (Lancaster), who knocked off in the to go match at sectionals #2 seed Kyle Murray (Dublin Coffman) and finished her season at 20-18 going 0-2 at Districts losing to Rodriguez (Whetstone) via tech fall and and Salazar (Gahanna Lincoln) 8-4. Pretty sure she was a first year wrestler as a Junior as well?
#2 is Kyle Murray (Dublin Coffman) who got upset by Autumn Gordon at sectionals, finishing as a District Alternate and his season at 23-15. He holds victories over Mitch Herron (UA), and Amadi Bakari (West), in the regular season.
#3 is Mitch Herron (Upper Arlington) who went 1-2 at Districts finishing 25-16. He lost in the regular season to Kyle Murray, and defeated Amadi Bakari from West at the Lee Spitzer last year.
Alternate - Doug Patterson (Mifflin) who went 1-2 at Districts finishing 17-7. He defeated Amadi Bakari (West) in the regular season and at Districts. He also pinned Salazar (Gahanna Lincoln) at Sectionals who defeated Gordon (Lancaster) at Districts.
Not selected - Amadi Bakari (West) who went 0-2 at Districts finishing 34-9. He lost to Kyle Murray (DC), Mitch Herron (UA), and Doug Patterson (M) all in close matches in the regular season, and then got pinned and eliminated by Patterson (M) at Districts.
From the information above - the only thing that I would say is clear is that the right 4 wrestlers got honored. Everything else is up to interpretation and opinion. It is also a conversation that should have happened at the meeting last Sunday, but didn't, so there is no sense in complaining about it now.
