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.

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

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

If you noticed these and your algorithm or process says to do otherwise.....no problem
Ethan Peckenpaugh 175 has beat Ohio County and Christian County ranked athletes at the weight and took Apollo to overtime the last time they wrestled.
He placed third at jv state. I know it's "jv state" and not "varsity contest" but would you consider that or no?
I have also noticed on the regional bracket that Daviess County wrestler at 215 is not listed. He was a really good wrestler and seemed like a good kid. If he's not listed to wrestle for the post season, would that change things. In state, you place top 8, so I'm assuming that may change team totals a bit. Is it enough to count, I'm not sure. That's your call.
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.

1 hour ago, Bk3 said:Just out curiosity, what wins does Mayberry from union have that keeps him at #5 @113
what wins do #6-#9 have (aside from beating each other) that would suggest they should move ahead of him?

Well, it definitely took a lot longer than anticipated. And I wanted to spend some time looking at region brackets that have already been posted to make weight adjustments, but decided against it. It is what it is. I'm sure some kids will make weight adjustments going into the post season, but we will figure that out over the weekend.
There will be a number of weight classes that are very deep at certain regionals this weekend. That will set up some interesting early round matchups at the horse park. It also just occurred to me that the guys will have a quick turnaround (so will I for the report, ugh). Saturday to Thursday and a 2 day weigh in could create a road block for those not managing weight well.
Team race continues to develop. No change at the top with Union in the commanding lead. I think Paducah Tilghman has a slight edge for the runner-up spot, although coming out of the same region as Union doesn't help in the draws. I have Great Crossing and Ryle just behind PT, but ahead of the pack chasing a trophy. Interesting enough, teams 5-8 (Trinity, OC, JC, and Boyle) are in a virtual dead heat.

Ha Ha. It is what it is. I'll catch up on sleep when I'm dead.

Unfortunately will probably end up being tomorrow. WAY too busy weekend. Girls region and 2 days of gymnastics.

20 hours ago, UC Mom said:I am not sure it is worth the time, effort or hassle to rank 30 kids! But thank you to the crew that does!
It is a lot for 1 person, but enough people appreciate it to be worth it. Besides, back to 32 man bracket at state, so some of those kids will score points and impact team scores.

3 hours ago, DrBaker said:Harris is really good. He looks to be a clear favorite. He hasn’t had a close match in Ky.
Pinkston, Faucett, and Hutchison are all unbeaten. Maybe they make it interesting.
Haven't seen any results for Hutchison in a while. And Herbst dropped down to 157 for Madison Central a couple weeks ago.

That's right. Just go get it done on the mat and prove to the old, fat, bald guys where you belong.
-
Good questions. They are all related. And I likely need to re-evaluate all of them this next week. Roberts would have dropped out too with all of the movement, but he held on with the McLamb win. But McLamb may be too high at this point with his best win maybe being McClellan. Once you get outside the top 15-20 it gets really really messy.

Well, since you kicked my butt in HS (although I had a broken hand), I should rank your kid just out of principle. So that is an oversight on my part. Ha Ha.

40 minutes ago, TinkXXXX said:How is Jaxson Wallace from Henderson not ranked after beating the number 7 at 215 on January 13th
At the time I reviewed 215 results that match was not in track. Prior to that he had 0 wins against ranked opponents, so there was nothing to indicate he should be ranked.

11 minutes ago, DrBaker said:Walton Verona and Caldwell will be a fun dual. A couple moves and unexpected wins can make it go either way.
Caldwell has a tough team. They could definitely make a run to the finals.

So many updates last week it bled into the weekend so I just waited. I would anticipate plenty of changes to come after this weekend as well.
- Union County is a big favorite still as we enter the home stretch
- the next tier of teams (GC, JC, and PT) are all extremely tight, that's why their order seems to change each week
- the next group is also really close (Ryle, Trinity, Boyle, Oldham)
- for the duals: Union the obvious favorite for 1A with Caldwell and Larue battling for second, PT and JC should be an awesome battle for 2A with Boyle and Harrison close behind, Great Crossing seems to be the favorite for 3A with Ryle and OC for second
