He was talking about 150. 1 did have most of the top 10.

It’s pretty exciting to look at some big matchups (possibly) of east champs vs west. Most haven’t seen each other. 113- Raney vs Morris 120- Meyer vs Whorton II 138- Peyton vs Bowers 144- Goss vs Andreoni 157- Herron vs Messerly 165- Giannone vs Powell 175- Kiser vs Duke II 190- Little vs Price 215- Virzi vs McCoy hwt- Smith vs Harvey

Yes!!! A place to drink a beer after 10 hours of wrestling would have hit the spot.

Seales-Portee (CSP) over Giellar Speaker over Herron.

I watched Indiana’s state finals and it was a party! They started it late and celebrated it. Our semi state finals started about the same time and was viewed as an inconvenience. 1/2 the teams and 3/4 of the fans left. Part of it really is a state of mind. Part of it is a real venue.

14. Little 13. Jayden Raney 12. Jordyn Raney 11. Trayce Eckman 10. Devon Herron 9. Branson Smith 8. Cole Thomas 7. Malachi Rider 6. Brayden Giannone 5. Eli Payton 4. Lane Kiser 3. CSP 2. Hunter Jenkins 1. Glenn Mayes

This really makes zero sense. Some of these kids will see the same guys 3 weeks in a row. It’s just dumb. How many times does Thornton have to wrestle Thomas, Brown wrestle Raney. We need a bigger arena and a 32 man state.

Coach Ashbrook will be hurt, but it’s for the best.

Yup. None of those kids are ranked either.

These rankings mean a lot to these kids, not just the top 2. These small teams are working hard just to make this list.

When he lost to Newby, he was ranked.

You are right. His 157 matches aren’t listed on track, but the regional is on track where Jj just beat Wilson and McNeely. He has also beat them both at 165 and those matches are listed. He does have 1 loss against an unranked kid that he beat later.

Pinned him Saturday.

They put them in when they want those regional seeds. Lol. There are enough matches posted to do a pretty good job seeding the tourneys.

RankWrestlers has flaws for sure. It is track. I was just showing that that Ohio and Indiana do put results in. You put in the 16 wrestlers for state and it will seed them pretty damn close. They might have to wrestle a regional opponent again in the 1st round, but that’s just how it works. I just hate seeing Deck vs Adams and Johnson vs Sheffer at 9am when they deserved to be on the big stage.

I just looked through the state bracket and seeds worked great. Best 2 wrestlers made finals in almost every class.

This is a section of Cole Thomas’s season. Shows his only loss to a badass from LaSalle. He has a 99.5 ranking.

106- Raney over Brown 113- Raney over Campbell 120- Jenkins over Whorton 126- Eckman over Brown 132- Frazier over Johnson 138- Peyton over Herron 144- Mayes over Beane 150- Rider over Banfield 157- Herron over Feree 165- Ricketts over Powell 175- Kiser over Ervin 190- Little over Wimberly 215- CSP over Silva hwt- Harvey over Pike darkhorse- Wimberly- Christian

Campbell co is in 2. You might have missed all the Paducah kids.

That’s the thing, we can use technology we already have and give analytic data on wins and losses in and out of state. Does beating a champ from Indiana affect it more than the #5 kid in Ky? Absolutely. Matches are required to be put in track. This data is right there in front of us. Track can do it in the blink of an eye. It’s not perfect, but it’s easily adjustable. We can seat the top 100 if we wanted to.

Upsets are supposed to happen. The way random draw was, it was a 1/3 chance for the top 2 to meet in quarters, 1/3 for semis, 1/3 for finals. Almost every other event in the world has some sort of seeding. The goal should be to hand the top 4 in the semis and top 2 of those in the finals.

Because ms doesn’t follow khsaa rules.

Not sure if anyone noticed that points aren’t carrying over.
