I was just wondering why valley is in the top 30 teams and southern isnt on there.Southern has beat valley more than once.I beleive southern deserves a spot on the top 30...

Good question.  The team rankings are based on my "projection" of team points (and finish) at the state tournament.  So, even though other teams in the region may be better than Valley, right now I am thinking that they will put up just a couple more points.  And it truly is just a couple.  Joe Raleigh and Beebop are giving them a slight edge right now.

[grappler-of-old 44]

Southern 112 this is state rankings.  Where the team will finish in the state tourney.

Take for example Lawrence Co. In a regular tourney they probably don't place very well.  Since they had Murton and expecially when they had both Murtons the team placed higher at the state tourney than in smaller tourneys or duals.

Just having one state champion will get you in the top 30 if not the top 20. 

[Guest valley152]

i also think that ben edwards from valley will show up and suprise some people this year as well....and he is from valley also.....

He is on my radar, just not scoring points yet.  Can you confirm that Joe Raleigh will be a senior?

Hey

Why isn't the vaughn kid from Sk for 112 not in there? The other vaughn is in there at 171, (maybe) football first I THINK)>

I think he is also running c.c. I still heard he beat Bates and Chitwood at camp, I also was told he got his butt kicked too,,

I am keeping my eye on him,,,,,

He's #16.

i have wrestled both Murdock of harrison and bullock of lafyette and i am strongly leaning towards murdock is way stronger and more technical. Bullock is to slow and to weak i think to beat many heavy weights but he may have buffed up i sure hope he did best of luck to everyone

[Rick Vaughn Sr. 0]

How did Ryan Vaughn get in there at 171, I know he is up to around 165' ish? Isn't there another Supe wrestling for Scott?

Two things on Ryan Vaughn.  I have Cooper at 160, 'nuff said.  He gets ranked because right now I don't see any other guys that are obviously better.

The other Supe is outside the published rankings.  He will have a tough road in that region at 112 with Bates, Vaughn, Chitwood, and Wren (who beat him for 5th at region).  I only show 15 right now to limit some of the "I beat so and so, why is he ahead of me".  Some of that is good, because I don't see all of the results from week to week.  But when we're talking about being #25 or #27 because you beat a guy once at a summer tournament by a couple points is questionable.

wood cant beat sullivan now no chance he can i dont think sullivan is ready for some good competion and wood will see he could have stayed at 119 and got 2nd malcom should be higher like 2 at 140 and fuller is going heavy wieght

Are you saying Sullivan is ready for some good competition?

I think he may get some from Caleb if they meet up, both are very good, needs to be decided on the mat. Where will they meet up? Does Wayne go to WCI?

wood and sullivan will meet up sooner then expected in wayne county in the second week they will wrestle i dont know i like wood tough kid but i see sullivan beating him by 6 points sullivan is so underestemated he beat kids at the junior olympics on a national level won the scholastic invitational in pigeon forge pinning the tennessee state champ in the second period  very tough stand up and any good wrestler wont stay on the mat good match but sullivan will out wrestle wood 9 out of 10 times he can shoot and is the best lower wieght thrower in a while i have seen belive me coach upchurch will have sullivan ready for whatever wood has to throw at him i mean dont get me wrong wood is a great wrestler and person but sullivan is  little much for him to handle . Malcom Jackson will be tough to stop i really think he will win it at 140 he beat ashbrook at camp he beat saunders at camp to tough kid and hates to lose after the wieght miss last year i see him coming back strong. At 215 fuller should be up there he is for real to at camp looked good had an injusry that was nagging him but is ok to go now at wayne also will be a dandy 215 bracket Watson,Chaney,Fuller and who ever woodford has at 215 could be interesting. 189 looks good but i think houchens can beat a few of them guys up there him and matt green would have a killer match i think with houchens slittley ahead of him maybe 2 points and also steven watson , jarod uall or however you spell his name from ohio county is tough look out for them to to make some upsets at 189 next year

[eville dad 17]

Fern Creek not going back to Wayne 2nd week of season.

They went last year and Wayne forfeited to Caleb at 112, he didnt even get a match against them.

I can't believe it took this long for someone to bring this up, a whole week.  Overtimeking, We all appreciate your feedback and opinion, but come on, let's have a reality check.  To say Caleb has no chance against Sullivan is ludicrous.  I don't think you can say with a straight face that Shane Parks has no chance.  He only lost 2-0 last year.  And I think we can agree that a healthy Caleb is much tougher than Parks (no offense to Shane).  I agree, Sullivan is great and is definitely the best lightweight thrower I have ever seen (Tommy Storms was probably 2nd).  But I haven't seen him on the mat with someone the caliber of Wood.  And I think Wood's style can take Sullivan.  As eville says, time will tell and it will be decided on the mat, not by rankings or anyones opinion.  But it is fun to discuss!!!

[Ranger123 43]

I would also add that I think Caleb considering dropping to 112 is likely driven by his support of the team.  I'm basing this on hearing just a few things here and there and as an outside observer, but I think he is doing this primarily because it will make the team better.

[ROTC112 0]

I do think Caleb has the advantage.  He has a tough defense and is very tough on top.

[overtimeking 0]

well i might have made it sound bad towards caleb but no offense to him at all great wrestler but i  dont see him beating sullivan but who knows maybe he has something i dont know about up his sleeve

Are your next rankings going to be after practice starts?
