    Another interesting question would be the individual rankings in each weight class who are still wrestling?  The weight I looked at the 1,2,3,4,6,7, 11and 15 are in there.  So in the 'blood round' the 5th ranked was pinned by the 4 ranked and the 7th beat the 8th four to one to advance. Those kind of matchups do happen in the blood round.  

    Last year in that weight the 1,2,3,4,6,10,11 and unranked were the top 8.

    I don’t think you should blame the kids who were ready to wrestle. Not their fault and they are most definitely not at fault. But, it does make me wonder why participation is so low in those regions? This semi state stuff also guarantees kids from every part of the state, a state medal.  

    Yes those already lower participation regions weren't helped with Moore getting completely shut out, kids not in school, not being able to pick up any new kids in off season, and probably some kids giving up the sport during the layoff.  We can all learn from the wrestling culture created and developed by Union County and the pride, ownership, investment and promotion that is embraced by the whole community there. We all agree there will be a few kids that place in a few weight classes that wouldn't have. Who knows, maybe that will help promote participation if a few other kids hear of some success.  Sorry to the kids that would have earned a lower placing but don't get that chance.  The Top several spots will be earned by the kids that would have earned them due credit should be celebrated for them. At this point we need to make it as positive as we can beating it down and negativity won't attract more wrestlers or fans.
