Your both right, but it could come down to finishes.

Thanks Jerry and I followed your instructions and did take a look at your link. You may also want to take a look on the HHSAA website:

Iolani took the Team Title in 2000 with I stand corrected 3 individual champions according to your link to second place Saint Louis with 6 individual champions.

If you compare the two links and the information, I believe it was 1992 that Iolani took the State Title without a single State Champion.

Also, Punahou in their run used to have a ton of kids in the championship matches.

What I was getting at was based on history that anything can happen and it is not just what might go down at 132. If any one or more of the number one seeds from these top 3 schools get upset … it could come down to that! Which includes 132 but also a bunch more.

I haven’t seen the final brackets after the second consolation round. But advancement points and bonus points can make a big difference in the outcome. Also, backside matchups come into play with losers crossing over sometimes you get weaker match ups and sometimes you get two legitimate placers knocking one out of the tournament. So, how many does Kamehameha, Iolani, and Campbell have left on the front side and back side is more of the question to me.

In reply to mikathedog.

Take a trip down memory lane and type “2000” into the table on the bottom, Mikathedog.

Shut up! No way the boys title will be decided at 132. And for the history buffs, I think Saint Louis and it’s 6 State Champions, 8 in the finals, took home second place in 2000 and Iolani with 2 State Champions took home 1st place in 2000. Iolani won the team title in 2000 on the back side of the bracket and not the front. In a similar manner Kamehameha with 12 qualifiers has the edge and the lead to Iolani 9 qualifiers and Campbell 7 qualifiers. I also was told that Iolani once took a State Championship without a single State Champion? Tomorrows first match will determine how many from each of these top 3 schools will survive and medal and how many will be eliminated and the picture might become clearer. But even after that there will be a lot more wrestling and every medal has to be earned.
