I agree there's more to wrestling than placing at state. I'd put some JV wrestlers from strong teams/weights up against varsity guys from weaker teams/weights and bet on them to win. Traditionally and repeatedly good teams have second string guys that can't make varsity, but are better than the best at other schools. I know most teams juggle kids around in the weights to get the "best" kids on the mat...but I've seen more than one awesome wrestler show up as a junior or senior as an unknown...just because he couldn't make varsity at home.
