  I guess you couldn't see that I had my "sarcasm font" on.....

  You guessed right! Lol. I might be the only one who missed it. Sorry for draggin' it on.
• I Wear Pants

  I was so confused by
  "Least wins coming in: 112 Connor Cassady (St. Paris Graham - Freshman) 12-4"
  
  for just a second. Then I realized 112 was his weight and felt silly. I was all "112 wins as a freshman?"

  Division 2. The thought of division 2 spawned thousands of years ago, when smaller tribes did not have the numbers to go against the dominant tribes of the area.......
  Thus, a village chief in the Middle east started a league where smaller villages competed against smaller villages.
  this is a great fact.
• mrblonde

  Well, if St. Paris Graham was one of these "smaller tribes" maybe the native americans would still have their land, because nobody could take it away from them.
• SantaCarla

  False. It started in the Middle East. This would not of affected the native tribes of the Americas.

  Well done!
  
  Here are some of the ones I just compiled for DI...
  
  Clean Sweep for a District Tournament: 285. All four Ashand representatives placed and did so 1st through 4th. Impressive to say the least.
  
  Each District Represented in the semis... 3 times: 140, 171 and 215.
  
  Semifinal losers to conso semi winners... of the 28, 15 won and 13 lost.
  
  I thought about compiling the records of the state champs.
  
  I did figure out that the top 10 in the team race was comprised of 3 from each Ashland, Mentor and Fairfield. The Darby District placed one in the top 10 and the was the Monarchs. Pick. North was 11th by a point and a half. Arrgh...
• ksig489

  Total match record by each district:
  
  Claymont: 73-116 (38.6%)
  Firestone: 120-99 (54.8%)
  Goshen: 107-93 (53.5%)
  Marion: 120-112 (51.7%)
  
  Something else I noticed when looking through...NO ONE who lost to Felipe Martinez won another match in the tournament. He was the tournament killer for all of his opponents. They went a combined 0-4 after losing to him which of course meant that counting their match with him, they were 0-8 from the time their match started with Felipe.
• ksig489

  Where did the top 10 teams come from?
  
  Marion - 5
  Firestone - 3
  Goshen - 1
  Claymont - 1
• ksig489

  What happened to the semi final losers?
  
  Both wrestled for third 7 times (103, 112, 119, 130, 171, 189, 285
  One made it to the third place match 5 times (125, 140, 145, 152, 160)
  Both dropped to the fifth place match 2 times (135, 215)
  
  4 wrestlers in the semis "triple dipped" and lost out to 6th place
• ksig489

  4 district champs went "2 and out"
  
  0 from Firestone
  1 from Goshen
  1 from Marion
  2 from Claymont
• I Wear Pants

  I'd say Firestone is still the district to beat.
• ksig489

  Returning qualifiers next year by district (basically the number of underclass state qualifiers from each place):
  
  Claymont = 31
  Marion = 30
  Goshen = 28
  Firestone = 26
  
  This makes Firestone the "oldest" district and Claymont the "youngest".
• ksig489

  Placers by district:
  
  Marion = 36
  Firestone = 29
  Goshen = 27
  Claymont = 20
  
  I would say that overall Marion is the district to beat...less "star power" but considerably more depth. Marion also had half of the top 10 teams.

  ^^^ agreed lol.
