On a side note and to no disrespect to any of the competitors in the field, there are a lot of the top 2 kids meeting in quarters or semis which happens every year. I also feel some weights would be different predictions if kids didn’t go IESA. 164 and 215 in particular.
Again, best of luck to everyone.
