Tough to argue against Wapato. As Toppenish proved for several years, 2A schools are tough to beat at the 1A level.

Montesano outscored Elma by 40 points the last time they were in the same tournament.

Elma has also been bringing there varsity wrestlers to farther away, bigger tournaments to actually improve throughout the season other then wrestler the same 16 guys every local tournament. League Duals tomorrow will really show you that Elma should be way higher on the rankings.

Actually, team dual results don't have any impact on the team rankings because how a team does in duals is a separate issue from how they will end up at an INDIVIDUAL tournament, the Mat Classic specifically.

Some time this year a coach was telling me about how one team was a "day one team" and the other team was a "day 2 team". I had never heard if phrased that way but I totally knew what he was talking about. A team with lots of "good" wrestlers will score a bunch of advancement points on the first day but maybe not advance many on to the second day. Another team with 4 state champs, and little else, may be trailing on the first day but score the heavy points in the finals to win the title. Which team do you think will win the dual, the team with 14 state participants or the team with 4 state champs? I still remember years ago when Kentwood sent 3 guys to state and came within 1/2 point of winning it. They had three state champs. Not sure how they did is duals but that is by memory 20 years ago but I think it is accurate.

When Dave resorts to "actually" he reminds me of Oscar on the "office".

Next year the state gives the simplistic wrestling fan even more to complain about on this site. The state dual meet tournament. Complete with homer gyms, JV refs, matside cheerleaders, inexperienced scorekeepers and ........
