I would hope the seeding committee has a determined order of criteria and this forum is not part of it

1 Corbin Nirschl #1 4A KS
2 Matthew Schmidt Platte County #1 3A MO
3 Gary Joint Junction City #1 6A KS
4 Gage Harmon Blue Springs #4 4A MO
5 Tyler Flood #3 4A KS
6 Nate Keim Collinsville OK #1 5A OK
7 Louie Romero #3 5A CO
8 Tanner Hitchcock #6 5A KS

And yes as you know I'm Partial to Nirschl and so I give them the edge HAHA... That and I'm old school and believe "Hard work beats talent and talent don't work hard"

I'm sure your are right but as every year the seeding is no easy task glad I aint part of it

Going out on a big limb: Matthew Schmidt, he is both a hard worker and very talented!! Just my observation of watching him thru out the years at various tournaments that I attended with my son!

113

1 Stephen Tujague SJA #2 5A KS
2 Josiah Seaton Bonner Springs #1 4A KS
3 Matthew Barman Platte County #3 3A MO
4 Khamin Crow Top Sea #4 5A KS
5 Zack Eck Andover #3 4A KS
6 Will Spexarth Goddard #5 5A KS
7 Tyler Kester Pittsburg #6 5A KS
8 Benny Deaton Olathe South #4 6A KS
8 Case Pemberton Prairie View #5 4A KS

Schmidt defiantly talented... I don't know if many work as hard and stay as focused as Nirschl. I expect him to do very well this weekend and just didn't have the heart to put him second. His Heart and refusal to lose should carry him through. And I don't mind being wrong

Well they have more information to work with but I have seen some bizarre seedings come from this committee in the past. I am flying a bit blind but I have seen many of these kids wrestle already this year. Sometimes criteria can lead to bad seeding. Common sense should prevail in many cases.
