Rankings done by committee. KYWCA Girls Rankings 1_9_25 - Sheet1.pdf

Great point and everyone should remember the rankings dont really matter,they are just for fun. Great piece from Wrestling Mindset No Superman out there Published February 12th, 2015 by Wrestling Mindset Wrestling If you want to be successful in this sport you have to have a blatant disregard for rankings. Does the higher ranked wrestler get spotted a few points? Do they get to start with a leg? Do they get a gun and you get a knife? Make sure you wrestle the opponent and not their ranking. No one can bring their medals on the mat with them. You gotta go out and prove it every day. No one wears an S on their chest. And even if he does find his Kryptonite. Everyone is vulnerable everyone is capable of being beat. Stop giving a darn who you wrestle or what they are ranked. Wrestle aggressively and focus on the two things you can always control: Effort & Attitude. Mindset Tip- Write down 100 times “I don’t give a darn who I wrestle”

Alot of good girls!! Thanks for making this!

7th grader Liam Skinner 106 from Rowan pinned #23 Ahmed Alabaidi and #15 Aidan Ruiz last weekend at the Tate’s Creek tournament. 10th grader Taner Woodman 138 from Rowan beat #12 Derrick Johnson by 5 at the same tournament in the semis.

We need more head to head with Region 1. The top 2 have only wrestled in 1 weight that I see. Top 3 in 0.

The same wrestler #29 Seth Jones also came back and pinned this kid at the Tates Creek Invitational. It looks like it’s 1-1 for these boys.

I'm curious as to how Colin Combs (Perry County Central) isn't ranked at 215? So far this year, he has over 30 wins (which leads the state) and has beat ranked wrestlers. The one loss he does have is to an out of state opponent. Feels like a decent sized oversight...

Hello, I’m new to the forum. I just thought I could lend alil insight in reference to a couple of Mason Co. boys that everyone is sleeping on. Ranger123 you have Evan Martin ranked in 106 lb. at #14. That’s alil low in my opinion but hey it’s your list. Main problem I have is he’s been wrestling 113 lb. all year except the first match I believe. He’s 7-0 in his last two match’s, George Rodger’s Clark Dec. 21 (5-0), and today Jan. 2 at Boyd (2-0). He faced young man from Tates Creek Aidan Ruiz #6 at GRC and it was not even close! Martin out wrestled %6 on Rank Wrestler (Ruiz) giving him his only loss by way of major decision! It was a good match. He wrestled up a weight class against a Dixie Heights wrestler who didn’t stand a chance with Martin pinning his bigger opponent. Martin is a contender and should not be overlooked! He’s definitely one of the best wrestlers to step on the mat every single match. Another one of Mason Co.’s overlooked talents is Creston Fuller in 138 lb. weight class. Rank Wrestler has him at #30, but that is a very underrated analysis of his talent! This kid has beaten some very talented wrestlers with only 2 loses on the season thus far to Ren Birk #6 in 144 lb., and Trae White #17 in 144 lb. Since dropping weight to 138 lb. the young man has not lost! I believe that both of these kids are going to make some waves in the upcoming Regional tournament. I believe without a doubt that they both qualify for state, and honestly I look for both to do very well at state. I know that both of these boys are members of the Spatola Wrestling school in Fort Thomas and it shows every time they step on the mats! Very well rounded wrestlers. Mark my words, if you haven’t seen them wrestle yet, give it time……… you will! Thanks for your diligence and dedication to your list, and thank you for letting me share some insight.

Only one 7th grader Jordyn Raney 2021. I believe there have been 6 8th graders to win it. Zeke Escalera, Brock Ervin, Jayden Raney, Jordyn Raney, JoJo Carr, David Carr only one 5x state Champion Brock Ervin.

Please re-read what I have posted twice now... RankWrestler can give you an idea of a kids strengths and see who he has wrestled so far in the season, BUT (Improtant...please don't skip over this one again) Ranger's is better because of knowing/interacting with the kids and wrestlers across the state.

RankWrestler app is a place you can see rankings. It's data driven rather than personally knowing/interacting with the kids like Ranger's rankings.

As I was sitting by my fireplace reading Rudyard Kipling's "Boots" with a glass of bourbon in hand (neat, of course) and pondering life's most relevant questions; I began to wonder how close the first round of December high school wrestling rankings reflects the accuracy of the final rankings before state. I guess I don't have a question - more of a curious muse.

We started ours at Russellville. Logan Co is gonna start to practice after Christmas, but will not compete till next year. I've also been told Franklin-Simpson is looking to have a team next year. We will see if that really happens. I've been talking to some Todd Co people about trying to get their program back up and going. Doubt that happens.

I offer you a challenge …CHAD, My Ranger against your RankWrestling They each pick the top 3 finishers after the brackets are released. Each pick you get correct is 1 point. I will bet you one strawberry milkshake that Ranger wins

Please email section results to coachshingler@gmail.com Thanks! KYWCA State Duals 2025.docx

Why don’t we get some of the 1 or 2s on the teams that don’t get to go. Let’s make a team.
