#1 vs. #2

#1 vs. #2 is always a big deal.

It was again this past Thursday when #1 Ashville took on #2 Weaver in their dual. They have shown themselves to be the two best teams in Alabama 1A-4A and even though we are still fairly early in the season we got to watch a great matchup.

WEAVER – When the AHSAA changed the wrestling alignments last spring there were winners and losers before anyone ever took the mat.

Programs like Alexandria were moved into a grouping – against the coaches’ recommendation – with 6A folks like Oxford and were no longer the biggest fish in their pond.

What it also did was get the Weavers of the wrestling world away from the Arabs, Alexandrias and Southsides who for many years stood in their way of state tournament success.

Now in a smaller pool there’s always going to be somebody bigger, but now the feeling is the mat is a little more level for the 1A-4A teams.

Spoiler: Ashville beat Weaver by 3 points and it came down to the last match.
