I really appreciate this ranking no matter what our feelings are on the order. I don’t think people can really imagine truthfully ranking thousands of wrestlers across an entire state. I also know it is a huge service that most every kid, parent , and coach love. It adds perspective and excitement to every match. So thank you for this service you provide.

Reputation and competition schedule matters when ranking kids, not records where 45% of the wins are only against the scale.

It's ok we all know you hate Harrison Co This is the best forum chatter in quite some time.

I appreciate what you do ranger even though I’ll try to teach my kid everyday it means nothing. Get out of that fan mentality and wrestle whomever steps across the line from you. Rankings are numbers on paper and in the long run only take away a kids focus. Focus on wrestling the best match you can and the rest will take care of itself in the end.

Johnny Forfeit….duuuh

Lol!!! It just cracks me up how regularly people want to gripe at a man that doesn’t have to do these rankings, but chooses to. Without ever appreciating the value that it adds to KY wrestling as it continues to make huge strides catching up to the neighboring states as far starting to produce some really high level wrestlers. If someone is upset at the rank their kid, grandchild, or friend has…..then use the energy you waste complaining on this forum to motivate that kid to get better! Bottom line. Because at the end of the season the only rank that’s going to be remembered is the one they walk away from the state tournament with

It seems as though this argument comes up every season, at least 2 to 300 times. Someone is upset over where someone is "ranked". This is a very comprehensive list of 350 wrestlers, who's record is on Trackwrestling. I, for one, do not have the time or energy to do what Ranger does on, basically, a week to week basis. Again, this is not an official ranking. If you don't like these rankings, pay for a track membership, and put all the kids in KY in a seeded tournament. Or buy a rankwrestlers.com membership. When the tournaments are seeded, more often than not, they are seeded by Track. But, this gives us as parents and fans a chance to discuss and debate where certain kids should be ranked. I personally feel like my son is one the best 2 in the state at his weight. He hasn't performed like that, so he's ranked lower. If you have a legitimate argument, I've seen Ranger listen and even explain why he put one kid higher than another. Name calling or claiming bias just makes you look petty, and is never a good way to win an argument. In my opinion there are 6 or 7 weight classes where there are clear favorites to win it all. The rest are up for grabs. Thank you, Ranger for doing this, even though you have plenty of College wrestling to follow.

Because I have way to much time on my hands. He is 20-0 with 9 of those being FF's. He beat #22 in his weight class and beat 1 kid at 190. Looks cut and dry to me. Great job Ranger. Keep grinding

How does Jacobie White (currently undefeated) from Harrison County who was ranked 16 before these new rankings came out, only move up 2 spots after pinning the #7 kid, Luke Hyden, at 190 but Luke was moved down 7 spots? I’m not saying put him in the top 3 but come on. You’re gonna have to explain this one to me, Ranger.

Robbed, 100%

You guys have gone to tough tournaments and wrestled really good teams. Lots of teams will have better records because they haven't wrestled any good teams but that doesn't change the fact lots of your kids with many losses will still run through them.

I never took it personally. Like I said, I’m not complaining. I just like to see kids with big wins get ranked highly every now and then. I also never said you hated Harrison County. Hate is a very strong word but hey, you said that, not me. And you’re right, I didn’t beat everyone but the majority and I have other obligations but I promise you, I could do what you do. Could I do it better? Probably not, but I certainly can do exactly what you do on here and I wouldn’t miss a beat

I’m not complaining. I just wanna see the kids who win move up in the rankings. For some kids, being ranked high is the highlight for them. It’s okay, the same thing happened to me when i wrestled. Nobody wanted to rank me highly so I beat everyone that Ranger ranked ahead of me but that’s a part of wrestling. You’ll remember his name before it’s all said and done

I didn't know Duke at the time.
