Quite simply Clay Center has the most people who have a shot at placing. Grater stepping up for them helps a team that already was looking like the favorite. Charbonneu, Pruser, Grater, Close all look like finalist. Sure somebody could stumble. That is Clays advantage. They have others who can step up and place possibly high like Rush at 145. Corral looked good at Beloit though I am not sure how good 160 at beloit was. The thing is they will get an awful lot of people through the regional and have a lot of other guys who will score points even if they don't place. This is a big advantage. Lots of teams have 2 or 3 good kids but the numbers are in Clays favor.
