Personally I think we do a disservice to all the wrestlers when we try to determine OW or even "All Class Rankings" after the State tournament is completed. There is simply no need to do either of these after State.

I don't have a problem with it during the season and the OW award can be a fun thing to debate at a regular season tournament. You can argue all you want about "who is better" but after State we know who the champion is. Sometimes the best kid is champion and sometimes he is not but he is still the champion.

Someone may say that with 4 classes we don't have a true champion so All Class Rankings are necessary. My question would be why is it necessary? The State champions have gone out and won the only championship tournament they could enter. What purpose is served by saying "if kid X would have wrestled kid Y he would have won and etc.."

I say lets pull down the "All Class" topic and quit w/ the OW after State is completed.
