Weight Class Synopsis

Looking at this weight class' seeding and TrackWrestling records for those seeded make as much sense as "2 + quantum physics = coelacanth."  Rummel sophomore Kobe Wise placed fourth in 2020 and was the top seed in this weight class.  Yet on TW his record was 1-2 prior to his state championship matches.  And Rummel does not skimp on TW input.  They update records to the last match of the state championships, which is something a lot of other schools do not bother to do.  (The majority of schools will stop at the last non-state championship event or might just list one or two state tournament matches.)  Second-seeded Louis Lindsey of Haughton had an 0-1 record.  Third-seeded Blaze Cormier of Rayne was 5-4.  At 9-4, Caleb Andrews of Belle Chasse was seeded sixth. 

So someone please explain why Cameron Davis of North Desoto was 15-1 and was seeded fourth.  Davis' sole loss was to Charles Sauerwin, III of Holy Cross at the Louisiana Classic, in which Davis placed third and defeated the likes of Michael Rader of St. Paul (3rd in Division I) and Wiley Boudreaux of Erath (1st and OW of Division III).  That record would have earned him a third-seed in Division I.  Caleb Andrews of Belle Chasse, Davis' Division II state finals opponent, was also a victim of Davis at the LACL.  At least the weight class came down to Davis and Andrews.  They had the two best records in the group and subdued any doubters with their performances on the mats.

Fifth-seeded Ethan Papadakes of Teurlings Catholic, who had the third best record according to TW information, placed third, of course, via a pin over Wise in 4:23.  And Lindsey ended on a winning note by pinning unseeded Carencro junior Christopher Milburn in 2:49 to place fifth.  Aside from a non-reserved podium spot, Milburn inexplicably got a podium photo as well..  As happens every year in every weight class, the wrestlers sorted things out.
