The girls needed something posted regardless of who it’s from I worked on this for hours on hours collecting information to put forth my best version of these rankings. They ladies all around the state work very hard and deserved recognition. Thanks to those who support this. I’m excited for what the next couple weeks and post season shows.

I want to take a moment to publicly thank the Kentucky Wrestling Coaches Association for a very generous donation to help differ travel cost for Jordyn Raney and myself to travel to Istanbul Türkiye for the U17 Greco World Championships. Their donation will help us represent Kentucky and the United Sates at the World Championships. The KWCA are great people doing great work! Thank You!

No match vs raney will be close

We have done entrance music and use Ranger's rankings for our Duals. The kids really enjoy coming out to their choice, especially the extras that get a non-point scoring match. Also, we have had the pep band present. I would like to bring spotlights and cheerleading to make it an event that draws more than just parents. I announce and try to make it entertaining outside the competition. Also, there is nothing better than a dual coming down to the heavys, and everyone in the gym cheering for every point.

Raney just punched his ticket to the World Championship finals match. He has knocked off the World Champ and World Silver medalist on his way to the finals. Gutsy performance with short time in the semis! Congrats! KY is pulling for you.

Ricketts wins 175 this year in my opinion. He’s put in the work, and he’ s a man child !!!

lamer speaker harris at 57 should be a good watch

Thanks for posting!! Seems like what you got here is the most accurate set of rankings. Keep up the good work like the guy said above it was a awful long time before we got anything so I appreciate you stepping up!

Thank you for the rankings..I appreciate the hard work. FYI…you have Claudia Mendez at 235…she is has wrestled 185 all season. Also Jasmin Beckham has dropped weight and has been wrestling 235 the last couple of tournaments.

120- Heady vs Blevins

Do any teams have fun with their duals? Throw out tee shirts, announce names and records, use the spot light? I feel like most just try and get it over with.

Max Emerson Champions Find a Way Scholarship In loving memory of Max Emerson 1998-2023 Max Emerson began wrestling at the age of 6. Through his sixteen-year career, he excelled as a wrestler leaving an indelible mark on the sport. Max's accomplishments included winning an Individual State Championship, achieving an undefeated season (37-0), and being named the Courier Journal’s Kentuckiana Wrestler of the Year. At the University of the Cumberlands, he was a 2-time national qualifier for the NAIA and was recognized as an Academic All-American. In 2020, Max became a teacher at Oldham County High School, where he inspired countless students with his enthusiasm for education and his unwavering support for their success. Max’s dedication to wrestling continued as he served as an Assistant Wrestling Coach at his alma mater. The OCHS Wrestling room was his second home and the wrestlers his family. Max had a genuine love for his athletes, students, colleagues, and family, and he cherished the time spent with them. He will be remembered as a champion for the underdog and someone who brought joy and encouragement to all those around him. Max worked tirelessly every day to be a better wrestler, coach, Christian, and friend. He lived by the motto “champions find a way.” It is our honor to offer a scholarship in Max’s memory to a senior wrestler who embodies Max's spirit and has overcome adversity to find a way to succeed.

Why would it even be voted on? Girls wrestling uses girls weight classes. It should be a given.

I’m sure money is a big factor for a lot of families… this is easily a $1000 weekend.

Good advice hope it works for you but meanwhile thanks for all you do anyways. Some appreciate all the hard work for the kids you do.
