It is foolish to think you can predict any athletic event by comparing scores among several teams. Wrestling is probably the toughest to compare because of how the indiviuals match up and the fact that one bad move can mean a 12 point swing. Check these scores from the Lepic Duals at Iowa City West.

Marian Catholic (I think they are from Chicago. Omaha Marian hasn't started wrestling.) beat Fort Dodge 50-27. Therefore Marian is 23 points better that Ft Dodge.

Lewis Central beat Marian 39-27. Therefore Lewis Central is 12 points better than Marian and 35 points better that Ft Dodge.

Ft Dodge beat Lewis Central 39-33.
