Creek’s ultimate tie-breaker
I get that Beavercreek squeezed into the Division I State Duals at Wadsworth on Sunday. What’s hard to fathom is the tie-breaker system that’s in place that worked in the Beavers’ favor.
Follow closely:
• Teams with the most underclass-produced points in the district tournament qualify for the following season’s State Duals. Reynoldsburg won the ’08 D-I district and Beavercreek tied with Columbus Central Crossing for second.
• Both the Beavers and CCC had seven underclass district qualifiers (the first tie-breaker criteria as set by the Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches’ Association).
• Creek had one champ, a runner-up and fifth; CCC had a pair of seconds and a fifth). That lone underclass district champ was the difference for the Beavers.
That all results in a first-round Duals matchup with Massillon Perry, the state’s top-ranked D-I program.
“Not too often in my coaching career would I say I’d rather wrestle (top-seeded Lakewood) St. Ed’s than Massillon Perry, but this is the year,” Beavers coach Gary Wise said. “It is going to be a brutal dual for us.”
