Mortimer...I believe in alot of what you said,I do think how brackets get seeded does effect somewhat of the outcome however,but I might add I believe that in all brackets,you are a great kid and deserve all that you have gotten this year.I think injurys can play a part of how well one does regarding the type of injury however you are right that it all boils down to who did the best that weekend,and you did.I have watched all of you wrestlers wrestle and I think most any of you in that 189 bracket were deserving.I guess I just hate to see kids that wrestle hard get trash talked on here,especially by fellow wrestlers...you nor Abell,nor Dinkel deserve any kind of trash talking on this board,and I hope it stops.When you get into bracket seeding and the outcome I see brackets that I really did think the outcome would be differnt,Drennan and Pyle most surely should of been the championship match,so I stand by my claim that bracketing does have some effect on the outcome.I wish you the best of luck,as well as the other wrestlers,even tho my kids don't wrestle anymore it is fun to follow up on kids you have watched for numerous years through kids wrestling,middle school and high school,great job this year!
