There is no shared first team, someone has to be selcted first, second, and so on. Im not sure what James record was this year, but that might have been a factor. But im sure the way the paper looked at is, Jake won state hes was a 3X'er Cole beat him at regionals, and then met up with him in the state finals. Which makes him the second best at that weight an Class. Now THe didn't want to leave James out but he didn't beat a 4X'er the week previously. There are lots more reasons, but why cry about it? Its over and done with. Obviously the people at the paper think Cole's season was more impressive than James, that doesn't mean hes a better wrestler. But to be perfectly fair, James has never beat Jake, and Cole has.
