I think coaches tend to make more out of that than the wrestlers do. If you are a good, sound, fundamental wrestler it isn't going to matter how many times you wrestle someone. Sometimes matches can go back-and-forth when the kids are more even, but if you're better, you'll win.
Putting 12 in the finals is almost more than you can ask for. I was proud of our five champions, but you always want more. We lost a few matches to better wrestlers and a few we just didn't wrestle well in.
