  At one time "The wrestling thread that's not about anything......." was about something. Sort of.

  I work and coach at two different schools (not by choice), I was covering another teacher's room and one of her students saw on my shirt that I coach wrestling and started up a conversation with me about the season. I told him my team had 2 state qualifiers, he replied very proudly that he was a sectional qualifier. I had to pause and look at him for a sec to see if he was serious with that statement, he was. I didn't have the heart to tell all varsity starters make it to sectionals, so instead I just said congrats and good job on being a starter.

  Apropos this (sort of...).
  
  My son pointed out to me the other day that the phrase "District Placer" is synonymous with "6th Place at District". I'd never quit put 2 and 2 together before, but he pointed it out the other day.
  
  We were talking to another wrestler and the kid said, "Yeah, I was a District Placer". Afterward my son said told me he got 6th. I asked him how he knew that it and asked if he looked it up on Baums. He said, "No. If he finished 1st he would have said he was a District Champ. If he had finished 2nd-4th, he would have said he was State qualifier. If he had finished 5th, he would have said he was a State alternate. Since he didn't say any of those things, he finished 6th". Low and behold, we looked it up and he was right.
  
  So now we know that SP and DP = lost the 5th place match.
