Also finding a way to rank the teams as well would be nice in order to support the team aspect better.

Wow. Didn’t realize that wrestling would have the second biggest draw in the state after football. I’ve always thought it was baseball here in the islands. Makes me wonder now how many peeps came on this blog for the seeding now/what kind of crowd and how early you would need to get to the Blaisdell for good seats on Saturday.

I’m thinking next year instead of rankings we can do a proper poll if enough people return and are willing to do the work required to vote every week.

Next year, I would like to help you with your coverage. What you are doing for this sport is outstanding. These kids put their whole life on hold just for a chance at a state title. Thank you for recognizing them. I think I know most of the girls and boys wrestlers, and how the process works. lmk.

Maybe take a picture of the brackets as they do them (if I can still get in) and maybe have a coach (or someone who knows wrestling) with me to provide thoughts. That, and learning to type faster, of course.

Campbell and Punahou had separate voting representative for the boys and the girls. The whole process took about four hours, with the only break lasting about five minutes. They stayed on task throughout, I can’t imagine it being any shorter.

The wrestling community should be quite proud. Our web geniuses report that within the 12 hours that I did it, it had outperformed anything we have done on this site except the state football championship game between Mililani and Punahou. They mentioned that if you look at just numbers and not the reasons why (doing something nobody else is doing and doing it for the first time), you would have to conclude that the sport draws more interest than anything other than football.

I had an idea it would be popular, but I had no idea how popular. Now I guess I have to beg my way into seeding meetings for all the sports, if I can.

Next year, if you need someone to carry your notepad for you to the meeting let me know.

1) was the league reps the same for both boys & girls? league rep determined by boys title?
1) how long was the whole process?

Congrats to Lahaina with your 11 placers, the first ever outer island team to win a title! You guys wrestled all summer and did it for Chanse.
