There was a Leitner kid from Atwood a few years ago that had double digit losses and got fourth at his regional and was a State Champ. I think he had been beaten by at least five or six of the people on the state bracket during the year. He was behind in his finals match and got put in a cradle, Leitner slipped his arm, forced the guy to his hip and boke the grip to put the kid he was wrestling on his back and got the pin. It was amazing. I guess that is why they wrestle it out at state and do not hand out the awards based on records, previous losses, and rankings!!
