I am pretty sure that Alvin Metcalf from Fort Scott is a 3 time state placer. His regional bracket was so stacked one year, he couldn't even qualify for state. It might be that same year that the Top 4 from his regional took 3,4,5,and 6th at state. Thats called a loaded weight class.

An example as to the quantity of studs is found in other brackets. This year, Cory Bloodgood didn't place at state @ 119lbs in highschool. He was teched by Dawson of Abilene. Three weeks later, he won a kids state bracket with 6 highschool state placers. The bracket included a 6a HS state champion and Dawson, the 4a state runner-up. If they wrestled his 4a highschool state bracket again, there would be a different outcome every time.

I would say that the toughest bracket would be the one with the least amount of pins, tech falls, and major decisions.

You see an awfull lot of pins, techs, and majors at 215 (well not techs) and 275.

You see an awful lot of one point overtime matches in the middle weights.
