    Dalton Bell at 160 from Larue County is now ranked at #16 but this past weekend he knocked off #13 Griffin Dulak from John Hardin. Not trying to change your rankings, but i was just informing you of this.

    I believe it was Levi Goodin previously at 152 that beat that beat Griffin Dulak at 160 at the dual last weekend, I could be wrong. It was a good move on Larue coaches part either way. Thanks for your time in putting the rankings together Ranger!

    Hey All American!! I think this would be a great place for you to congratulate Noah Duke on his State Title since you called out 3 different kids beating him. This was a great weight class, but you were the only one to to call out Duke and list a series of "upsets". I think he covered your spread!!

    I will be the first to congratulate Noah Duke and all the wrestlers. I had made a comment on the 10% rule that some complain about. It was only to say a little weight doesn't matter and that my son chose to drop to 130 for hopefully a chance to avenge a loss to Micah Erwin in a weight class that you could see still had all of the top ranked kids still in it. 140 obviously still had Lawrence and Bodenbender but everyone else in between that were mentioned earlier in the rankings went to different weight classes or were not there at all. 150 also had some studs along with all the other weight classes. For my son 130 seemed to be the potentially toughest class top to bottom not at all saying the top wrestlers at 140 &150 were not spectacular. I wish for my son to always learn from a win or a loss.

    I believe there is more than plenty of competition in the 140lb and 152lb weight class???? Not sure that 130 is tougher than those?? 140 you have Lawrence,Smith,Bodenbender and 152 you have Stevens,Tomerlin,Horschler and Talmon. Not to leave out the #1 ranked kid(Shackelford) that was put out of Regionals by a poor decision from the Officials. Who did your son beat at 152? Not saying your wrong or I'm right, just asking

    The same one your son beat. Question would Bodenbender beat Duke both from Ryle? Smith just got on the charts at 130.


  4. To all the wrestlers that really want to do better in this sport. I believe it doesn't matter about weight especially 10% . What they know about wrestling , their willingness to act on it and just never giving up. Will get them farther in wrestling and in life. Except and expect to always be challenged. I have an eighth grader and have just moved here from Illinois , he is chasing the challenge. Having started out wrestling the 140 pound weight class and having beat a top four ranked kid at 152. He probably would have had an easier run at a podium finish at those weight classes. But chose to wrestle at 130 for more competition, seeing that Micah Erwin and Slatko Skulijan had made a similar move at the high school level. Along with all the top ranked wrestlers still wrestling at 130. Win or lose we all have to learn from it or it's worth nothing.


  5. The whole matter is the safety of these young athletes who all deserve the right to compete. To say we did something like this before is likened to continually touching something that burns you, it was wrong to have put any team in danger before and would still be wrong. Since region 4 is rescheduling they all should be. KSWA should make that happen.
