Every sport in Ohio beside football, every team makes the playoffs. Not sure why this is a big deal.


Because it’s fricking stupid?

Wrestling is the only sport in the LHSAA that doesn't have some qualifying process, but there is a proposal this year to change that




Don’t they make money on every wrestler entered at the state tournament?

That's an intriguing rule. I've never heard of it before. My gut tells me it's not too big of a deal, depending on how many extra games the kids are forced to play now.

The way I see it, things will even out in the end no matter what. The best teams will still win it all. You will never see a 3-7 team all of a sudden win state championship.
Also, to refute his point about playoffs being an accomplishment, that depends on the team. For some teams, absolutely. They can squeeze into the playoffs, lose the first round by 40 points. And go home smiling because they still made the playoffs. For the top tier teams, they don't view playoffs as an accomplishment. They have the view that anything less than a championship is a failure. So the only thing that really changes is for those lower teams, their goal probably changes to *winning a playoff game..

There was one state that did this with random seeding, but I forget which on. Meaning a winless team could be hosting an unbeaten team in the first round.


That sounds awesome

You sure about that? The only way the top 4 teams in each Region don't make the playoffs is if it only has 3 teams.

Who gives a shite. It's high school. If a 9-0 high school team loses to a 0-9 team in the first round it's fine with me.
