One minor correction - Spangler is from Nequa Valley, not Naperville North. He is 40-0 and pinned his last opponent in the sectionals. I believe he is seeded 2nd or 3rd in the state tournament which is Feb. 15 and 16. There is a guy from Montini that is seeded first - he has 3 losses, but Montini wrestled in the Clash and the guy likely wrestled some tough competition there.
I thought the guy from Richmond (Jordan Blanton) was seeded first. The guy from Montini (Carl Foreside) lost to Spangler earlier this year 7-3, so my guess is that Spangler is seeded #2 behind Blanton (both undefeated) and Foreside is #3. Those were the last rankings on this site anyway (as of Feb 5th):

BTW - Blanton was originally committed to the Hawks. However they called him in November and said that they needed to reduce his scholarship for his first year to 60%. He pulled his committment from Iowa immediately and committed to Illinois.
