Change in District 6 AA bracket

There has been at least one change in the District 6 bracket.
Westmont Hilltop's Logan Blackburn and West Branch's Wyatt Sankey have swapped spots in the 113-pound bracket. As I pointed out in an earlier post, Blackburn didn't seem like he should have been the fourth seed.
Apparently, there was a mistake in calculating Sankey's points and Blackburn should have been the third seed all along.
The way I see it, this is good for wrestling as a whole. No disrespect intended toward Sankey, but I believe that Blackburn is probably the second-best wrestler in the weight to top-seeded Collin Glorioso of Huntingdon. With the original brackets, they would have met in the semifinals. This way, Blackburn will (likely) have the opportunity to wrestle second-seeded Brock Biddle of Central in the semifinals. I think that's the better semifinal matchup than Sankey-Biddle and the right one for the weight class.
