Otherwise Blanton could be the 4th seed and Spangler 1, but that is doubtful, because Blanton is 37-0.
I found another place on the website that shows that the wrestlers are not seeded. The 8 sectional champs face the winner of the 2nd and 3rd place finishers from other sectionals. Spangler may have had some bad luck in having to face Blanton as soon as the semis (or maybe Blanton is the one with the bad luck having to face Spangler in the semis).
