That is actually a great question. A lot of kids have grown a ton this summer and I know I've moved many kids up a few weights. BUT, that said, I can't find info that would push Case up to 138. Have to look back into that one.

Finally getting these preseason rankings up to reflect graduation and lots of weight changes. I'm sure there will be a lot more to reflect once we get official practice kicking off next month. Rankings_24_25_0913.pdf

I had a couple of great opportunities this spring/summer to coach Team KY for Heartland National Duals and Fargo. Both were a blast and it was awesome to watch some of the best young ladies from around the state battle with the best in the USA. We competed very well as a state and I am extremely excited about the potential we have. But something I should have known, but failed to fully realize until into the summer, was how vitally important it is for our girls to get on the freestyle boat. It is so simple. No matter which style you prefer or which style your coaches push, any girl with plans to compete on the next level needs to start developing freestyle skills immediately. Plain and simple, college wrestling is freestyle for the women and we all need to do a better job of preparing them for success. With that I was super excited to be able to be a team leader for the women's team in Fargo. And to see our relatively small team go out there and have a blast and compete so well made the experience that much better. We had an awesome coaching staff and expect to take back almost this entire group of wrestlers, plus a lot more, and bring home some hardware. Any parent or wrestler interested in learning more about freestyle wrestling and being part of KY USA wrestling's "off season" program please reach out. Coaches: Jason Moore, Steffanie Hampton, Spencer Moore, Paige Wehrmeister Wrestlers: Emma Moore (16U - 100), Chloe Gallahue (16U - 130), Lillian Harned (16U - 190), Lacey Gilbert (JR - 120), Brooke Arbic (JR - 170) Check out this team chat with the fargo coaching staff and some of the athletes from the women's team

Ryle has their fair share, but Walton, Campbell, and SK have a bunch as well. Check out Alex Green's youtube channel to get a first hand view and meet many of them.

WOW! I knew it had been a long streak, but would not have guessed over 50 years. Now that I am turning 50 I know that is a long, long time.

Well, the final rankings were really set on Friday in Lexington. But I will post a state follow up in the next couple weeks. I would like to take time and really dig into it and round up all my stats from the old 32 man brackets. As far as rankings without seniors, it will likely be a couple months before move on to next season.

I know I know. It's 9:00 not 8:00. Everyone give Coach Jason Russell a big hug and thank you for having a few exhibition matches and extending the dual that delayed me. Ha Ha. Just kidding. Coach Russell is the best. But you should give him a hug. And maybe Randy Evans too just for the fun of it. Good luck to everyone competing this weekend. And safe travels. 2024 Ranger Report.pdf

So close but have to run to practice and senior night back to back. Look for it about 8:00 if all goes well.

yep. finishing touches as I close out some work stuff, run practice, go to college senior night, and get ready for the weekend.

Just didn't have any immediate thoughts

Final set of rankings heading into state. As expected there were a number of surprises over region weekend, upsets and weight changes and kids out, but there seemed to be a lot more movement that usual. A few random thoughts to go along with this update before the state report comes out on Wednesday. - 106 could be a very interesting weight with any of the top 5 winning it - 113 losing Birk has really opened the weight up - 120 great match between Evans and Blevins at region, will we get a rematch on Friday night or someone spoil that party - 138 looks like a flashback to 2022 with a Whorton-Meyer rematch; hope we see a little more action this time around - 150 still have Brown at #1 (going 2-1 against Wojcicki), but this might be the tightest group at the top of any weight - 157 Harris is the clear favorite, but this group is fairly tight at the top as well - 190 Kiser-Virzi has to be one of the best rivalries in Ky wrestling in a while - 285 please no stall controversy this year - Team dynamics changed a lot of the last week. A little more separation between Union and PT, then PT and Ryle. While the pack is not quite as tight, 3-7 could fairly easily change order with a couple wins here and there. Rankings_23_24_0212.pdf

Yes, there will be one last set of rankings (today), then a final report leading up to state.

Good question. He is definitely on the radar as the bottom 10 or so of 175 is a mess with crazy results. I did miss that win over Davidson (Chr Co) and a couple unranked losses sort of outweighed the Daviess co win.

Gotcha. Yeah, that's why I sort of wanted to wait for region entries, but our coaches meeting isn't until Thursday, so oh well. Thanks for the feedback.

what wins do #6-#9 have (aside from beating each other) that would suggest they should move ahead of him?
