I guess you couldn't see that I had my "sarcasm font" on.....

You guessed right! Lol. I might be the only one who missed it. Sorry for draggin' it on.

I was so confused by
"Least wins coming in: 112 Connor Cassady (St. Paris Graham - Freshman) 12-4"

for just a second. Then I realized 112 was his weight and felt silly. I was all "112 wins as a freshman?"

^ Cool story bro

HAHA^^^ +1

Division 2. The thought of division 2 spawned thousands of years ago, when smaller tribes did not have the numbers to go against the dominant tribes of the area.......
Thus, a village chief in the Middle east started a league where smaller villages competed against smaller villages.
this is a great fact.

Well, if St. Paris Graham was one of these "smaller tribes" maybe the native americans would still have their land, because nobody could take it away from them.

False. It started in the Middle East. This would not of affected the native tribes of the Americas.

OK...some fun facts after the tournament

More to come later...maybe...

Well done!

Here are some of the ones I just compiled for DI...

Clean Sweep for a District Tournament: 285. All four Ashand representatives placed and did so 1st through 4th. Impressive to say the least.

Each District Represented in the semis... 3 times: 140, 171 and 215.

Semifinal losers to conso semi winners... of the 28, 15 won and 13 lost.

I thought about compiling the records of the state champs.

I did figure out that the top 10 in the team race was comprised of 3 from each Ashland, Mentor and Fairfield. The Darby District placed one in the top 10 and the was the Monarchs. Pick. North was 11th by a point and a half. Arrgh...

Total match record by each district:

Claymont: 73-116 (38.6%)
Firestone: 120-99 (54.8%)
Goshen: 107-93 (53.5%)
Marion: 120-112 (51.7%)

Something else I noticed when looking through...NO ONE who lost to Felipe Martinez won another match in the tournament. He was the tournament killer for all of his opponents. They went a combined 0-4 after losing to him which of course meant that counting their match with him, they were 0-8 from the time their match started with Felipe.

Where did the top 10 teams come from?

Marion - 5
Firestone - 3
Goshen - 1
Claymont - 1

What happened to the semi final losers?

Both wrestled for third 7 times (103, 112, 119, 130, 171, 189, 285
One made it to the third place match 5 times (125, 140, 145, 152, 160)
Both dropped to the fifth place match 2 times (135, 215)

4 wrestlers in the semis "triple dipped" and lost out to 6th place

4 district champs went "2 and out"

0 from Firestone
1 from Goshen
1 from Marion
2 from Claymont

I'd say Firestone is still the district to beat.

Returning qualifiers next year by district (basically the number of underclass state qualifiers from each place):

Claymont = 31
Marion = 30
Goshen = 28
Firestone = 26

This makes Firestone the "oldest" district and Claymont the "youngest".

Placers by district:

Marion = 36
Firestone = 29
Goshen = 27
Claymont = 20

I would say that overall Marion is the district to beat...less "star power" but considerably more depth. Marion also had half of the top 10 teams.

^^^ agreed lol.
