I picked a certain round at districts. Something about the heartbreak round just gets me every year. But any round at State is good too!

I agree with LCmatgurl, the heartbreak round at distrcts is well named for a reason.

Nothing beats Friday night at state wrestling. There is nothing like an evening filled with drama and adrenaline like the semifinals/heartbreak round. It's not even a topic for discussion...I've sat through every state tournament in every sport, and nothing touches Friday night at state wrestling.

This is why I am so adamant against the suggestion that we need to place eight at state the way track does. This would ELIMINATE at least half of the energy that is generated on Friday night. The "heartbreak" round would be in the second round of consolations, which might make Friday afternoon entertaining, but would kill a lot of Friday night's energy.

I live for Friday night at state wrestling...can't wait for it next week.

I agree with LCmatgurl. The heartbreak round is the best in the sport of wrestling

No...it means you're a slacker. Get up to 75-100 a day and you'll be about right...LOL

NWI's right... it really becomes an addiction.

Heartbreak round at Districts, nothing better in my mind. I would say its the most emotional time during the wrestling season.

I agree with NWI. The heartbreak round at districts carries high emotion--winners go to state, losers end the season. But I still don't think anything matches the buzz and energy of Friday night at State.

Bartman - I was referring to Friday nights at state...not districts. Heartbreak round at districts is pretty exciting, though.
