One thing that came into play there is that both of these kids were known to all of us. They were very close in everyones mind and many people in the room (not the coaches of those wrestlers) were in agreement with the seed the way it went down, in fact we ask for some of their comments to get us over the hump there. There were several other factors that muddied the waters besides the undefeated record but that is a hard one to ignore when the other kid had been beaten by an (as of that time) unkown quantity in a kid that had not placed in the state a year earlier. It was a puzzle for sure and was interesting how it worked out with a last second match in the finals by two kids who proved just how close a seed they were. It was fun.
