He covered his disappointment, from what I heard, last night with a few PBR's. He was outside their early morning practice cheering them on today.

Sthoughton is gonna win by 35+.

Wow, I wasn't even close.

Reminds me of Super Bowl XXIV 49ers 55 / Broncos 10, boy did I loose a ton of $$ I had the Broncos and 44 points

The AD at Stratford and Stoughton should get together and create "The Rematch at the Barn." Think about all of the angles to promote this match. It could even be exhibition with the new All Star rules. Imagine both bands and fans.... this could be electric!

Who would be the ranking source? On any given year, you have differences in how teams are ranked.

I'd be cool with that. Let triangle of death come to be!

Coaches survey based on the top 5 teams in each division that WI Wrestling puts out. 20 coaches from each division vote, excluding any teams currently ranked in the top 5. Its not perfect but its better then the way they did it this year and its good enough.
Remember in the state of WI team's qualify to a dual state tournament based on how the team performed at a individual tournament lol, so clearly it's subjective. The who's number one is a fun Thursday night event that get's the state buzzing and maybe some media coverage early in the season, lets not over think it as we never have when it matters anyway.

"Better than how they did it this year"? You ended up with one of the most storied wrestling rivalries in WI for the first ever of this, wow what a horrible tragic outcome.

By the way do you understand what "quote" means?

Not really sure what is going on in the state right now (I currently live in Texas), but there was a time when there was a quad whose annual location rotated among the competing schools that included Ellsworth, Rapids, Stoughton, and Deforest (I am sure the Deforest wrestlers were saying "Thanks coach," after the day was done

. This was the day when Rapids was still in the middle of its glory years (circa 1979). I remember seeing the meet in the Ellsworth gym; all of this incredible HS talent on the mats and dual meet drama taking place in that rinky-dink little gym. Incredible day of wrestling.
