I completely forgot about it being on a school day! You’re completely right, especially it being at a 6A school. I can’t imagine how packed it’s gonna be

CB? Ranger, I didn’t even go to Harrison County. So if that clears up whoever you think I am then you’re welcome. I could say the same thing for your kid for that matter too. I’m not sure why Luke dropped as far as he did after just 1 loss. I’m not taking shots at either side here. I’m just saying what I like to see and I can still say making the rankings is hard, no doubt but I do believe I could do it just like you

No I actually didn’t take it personally and thinking you have the wrong guy on this one. Like I said, I only wanna see the kids who win against highly ranked wrestlers ranked highly. That’s just how I like to see things

Never said there was disrespect either. You said what you said and I’m okay with that. That’s the problem in these forums and just in general. People don’t have thick skin and think because someone has a different opinion that’s disrespectful. That’s not what that is. Good luck to Noah the rest of the year!

I never took it personally. Like I said, I’m not complaining. I just like to see kids with big wins get ranked highly every now and then. I also never said you hated Harrison County. Hate is a very strong word but hey, you said that, not me. And you’re right, I didn’t beat everyone but the majority and I have other obligations but I promise you, I could do what you do. Could I do it better? Probably not, but I certainly can do exactly what you do on here and I wouldn’t miss a beat

I’m not complaining. I just wanna see the kids who win move up in the rankings. For some kids, being ranked high is the highlight for them. It’s okay, the same thing happened to me when i wrestled. Nobody wanted to rank me highly so I beat everyone that Ranger ranked ahead of me but that’s a part of wrestling. You’ll remember his name before it’s all said and done

How does Jacobie White (currently undefeated) from Harrison County who was ranked 16 before these new rankings came out, only move up 2 spots after pinning the #7 kid, Luke Hyden, at 190 but Luke was moved down 7 spots? I’m not saying put him in the top 3 but come on. You’re gonna have to explain this one to me, Ranger.

I’m honestly a little surprised you put an “idk” at 175. I think it’s Noah Duke and it’s not close. I also think if Branson is ready to go he is also a lock for a title at 285, at least in my opinion

Is it just me or do the heavier weights (mostly 157-285) seem a little top heavy this year? We’re also not even in January yet so obviously some guys could move around but it just seems to me guys like Noah, Little, Giannone, Herron and Branson are locks for a state title at the end of the year. I do think it makes things fun though because it causes so much movement throughout the weight classes. Gonna be a great year!

Do we know who’s in what pool or who is facing who???

Would anyone know if there are any tournaments for wrestlers who are out of high school and also not wrestling in college???

I would take Merrit 7-3

I said Merrit and Russelburg deserve to be in the discussion, I knew most people would disagree with what I had to say but since their so close in weight and this would be a fun topic but do you think Payne Carr could beat Jakerrion Merrit? Personally I don't think so

I would like to return to the topic of P4P best wrestler on the last rankings updated and i was shocked that no one even brought up Jakerrion Merrits or Dalton Russelburgs name up more. Those 2 to me are easily top 5 P4P and have a case to be the best P4P. At least that's just how i feel. Obviously you have your Spencer Moore's, Cole Thomas's, Deck, the Ervin's, etc. but Jakerrion and Dalton should be right up there with those guys no question in my opinion

Just some things for the next rankings from the Anderson County Tournament a couple weekends ago in case you missed it 106- # 20 Kelton Bailey beats #13 Ashley by Pinfall, 2:47 to win the Anderson County Tournament. UR Aiden Butler beats #12 Cole Harrod by Dec, 6-0 113- #23 Maximus Beltran beats #18 Maurice Murphy by Dec, 4-2 120- UR Jonathan Pittman beats #20 Luke Oliveros by pinfall, 3:45 132- #21 Mason Polston beats #19 Jalen Wideman by pinfall, 0:45 145- #15 John Lowe beats #8 Chas Fudold by Dec, 6-4 152- #6 Dylan Preston beats #4 Tyler Hudgins by Dec, 10-5 160- UR Jacobie White beats #21 Andrew Archibald by pinfall, 2:57 #6 Cole Nance beats #2 Nathaniel Lawrence by Inj, 5:52 170- #10 Chase Fink beats #4 @ 160, Tristan Brooks by Pinfall, 5:38 Things I Took Away: Kaiji Fujii @ 126 is the real deal. Lost to Kinley in the finals in a barn burner but i had heard he beat him the weekend before. Chase Yost and Thomas Deck are good at wrestling lol. Dylan Preston from Woodford had an amazing weekend pinning Walker McCubbin and handling Tyler Hudgins pretty well in the finals. Cole Nance with arguably the upset of the day beats Nathaniel Lawrence by forfeit but that forfeit doesn't mean a thing. Nance was handling Lawrence before he had gotten hurt, Nance looks extremely tough this year. Chase Fink, if it wasn't for his teammate Cole Nance, would have had the upset of the day by pinning Tristan Brooks. Finks defense looked impenetrable all match long
