Here's how the 130 regional went down: Manion, Essex, and Johnson all had close to the same record. However, as happens in all wrestling seeding meetings EVER, if a guy has placed and the other two haven't, then he should be the top seed. Also, Johnson was 1-0 against Essex, and I believe Manion and Essex had split. Therefore Johnson had two things going for him. And to top it off, Essex beat Manion, making the season series between them 2-1. Johnson then went on to beat Essex in the finals on a call that was very questionable, and he probably should have lost, but time did run out, and the refs made one of the few accurate calls they made all day. (it was like the patriots-raiders fumble thing. everyone knows it was a fumble, but the rules say....) If Johnson has the easier side of the bracket, it is because he won in regionals over a quality wrestler. And Manion got techfalled in the first. I'm crappy, and wrestle on a middle school level, and have never gotten techfalled in the 1st. STill, he's a great wrestler, and I pick him for 2nd or 3rd.
