Kentuckywrestling.com HS Rankings 2014/2015 - FEBRUARY 16 FINAL

[Ranger123 43]

Okay, the state tournament is upon us and the season is coming to a close.  Following are the final rankings heading into the big show.  Regional results are reflected and carry a little more weight that some results during the season (these last couple weeks are the most important matches of the year).  These DO NOT reflect any of the state tournament draws.  That work is in progress and will be posted in the next couple days before we all head to Lexington to cough and sneeze and enjoy some great wrestling.

WR Rankings 2014_15 FEB16_FINAL.pdf

Adam Yashinto ranked 25th at 120 did not even make it to state.

[Home Grown Wrestling Club 6]

I think at 120 your overlooking Hunter Knoth from Meade county Region 2. He placed in regions and qualified for states and has approx 34 wins this year. He is 1-1 against goodin from La Rue and you have him ranked but not Hunter Knoth. I know it's difficult and judgement but I think he should make the list.

[Ranger123 43]

This is ranking not who made it to state. So yes that means there are some kids who will be sitting at home this weekend who are "better" than some of the kids wrestling at state. It happens every year. You have some stacked regions where good kids don't make it.

[B10grapple 7]

Thank you as always for doing these.  Seems like a pretty thankless job particularly given the pay for doing it.

[Ranger123 43]

The other thing people need to keep in mind is being a sq doesn't automatically mean a kid should be ranked. Yes it is great to make it to state but double check some kid's resume and you will likely see that a few kids they have lost to are not ranked either. There are a lot of names on the "list" just outside the posted rankings so some of the kids mentioned aren't completely overlooked.

Thanks, Ranger.

[Home Grown Wrestling Club 6]

Okay no problem thanks for doing what you do like I said I know it's not easy and judgements have to be made I respect that just trying to make sure he wasn't overlooked I know he has had a good year and wrestled and beat some good wrestlers and lost to some good wrestlers as well.

[Ranger123 43]

Will also add wins this weekend carry some extra weight. So those kids who feel like they are overlooked can fix that by getting the job done in Lexington.

He did beat goodin, yes he did. But Levi won when it mattered over all

Can't wait til Sunday when people are asking when will the "way too early 2015-2016" rankings be out lol

Also; in the case of Yashinto he is ranked despite being beaten in region by kids that are unranked. Not to harp on it or anything. Just backing my claim.

Do you mean there not done yet?  Man Ranger whats the problem that crystal ball of yours covered in snow?     

[BullittEastWrestling 0]

At 120 Andrew Mattingly from bullitt east has beat solan McMillan, Nicolas Curtis and Adam yoshinto and he is not ranked

[Home Grown Wrestling Club 6]

It's ok I was just asking I was not trying to cause any problems or arguments or get anyone upset. It's wrestling and anyone can win or lose at anytime to anyone. I was not trying to take anything away from anyone and Levi did beat him in the region tournament and deserved the win. I was just trying to use that as an example because he was ranked and they both won and lost to each other. It's no big deal or end of the world. Just wanted to check and make sure he wasn't overlooked somehow by accident. Rankings are nice and great but in the end the only thing that matters is how you wrestle when your on the mat so best of luck to all the wrestlers. Thanks for letting me know and explaining how it was determined I appreciate it and thanks for taking the time to do everything you do for the wrestlers it's appreciated.

He's the real question for 106, how do yall believe Adam Bender from Lexington Catholic with one leg will do at the state tournament because I saw him at the WCI and he was just dominant.

[Foxtrot 7]

One leg?

[coachteater 70]

One leg?

http://www.kentucky.com/2015/02/01/3669491/adam-bender-wrestler.html

[grappler-of-old 44]

Not the 1st to do so.  Ask coach Boggs from Campbell Co.  He wrestled missing a leg also. Placed 6th 4th, and 3rd. 

[bowlbear1 1]

I will say Adam Bender will do just fine!!  The kid is a great wrestler and can handle quite a bit!!  Even though when he was beating my wrestler  I wasn't to happy about it I wish him all the luck along with many other wrestlers.

I hate that some very good wrestlers did not make it to state because they are in a stacked Region, then you have regions that are weak and wrestlers that would not normally make it, are going in at state at 1st and 2nd seed..

I understand your feelings, but this was the same sentiment expressed by people when we had a sixteen man bracket.  It was also one of the reasons offered for doubling the field to 32.  You have to make a cut-off somewhere...

Has Adam wrestled Saul this year?

[Zorgon2118 0]

Has Adam wrestled Saul this year?

No he hasn't been at the same tournaments this year

[385 109]

No he hasn't been at the same tournaments this year

Any common opponents? That's a matchup Id like to see. Hope Adam can make the finals.
