Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 2, 2017 As soon as I post this I know there are updates to make, but Dutch and I put some time into getting this done, so I figured go ahead and get it out and update next week going into region. A lot of interesting results out of state duals. 2 major things. First, Union County is a great team. One that will be very hard to beat. Second, 120 is a heck of a weight class this year. Here is how we sorted it out: - Wells has been #1 and wrestled a good schedule most of the year and hasn't lost to anyone in state and I don't think he has any "common opponent" losses that would drop him down. - Insko was a top 8-10 kid at 126; since dropping down he has been tough with some big wins and no losses - Wheeler/Yost is a toss-up with them splitting the last 2 weeks. So I use the All Star match as the tie breaker and give Wheeler the edge for now. - Roth/Bacon have split with the Roth win a lot more recent and in a more pressure packed situation. - Storck drops a bit; his schedule hasn't given him the opportunity to get as many big wins as the top 6 - Haverstick has taken some weird losses Rankings_16_17_0202.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted February 2, 2017 Region 3 with only 4 projected placers as a whole is shocking. 120 is a mess. From round 2 on there will be some intense matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justaref 37 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 If rumor is true and Tucker from Woodford goes 126, he could really shake it up. I'd say potential top 5 finish if he is there and performing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say Kairus Washington rightly deserves #2 spot after that performance. Not sure if Madison Southern HW had an off night, but the HW from DH is huge, strong, and athletic. The 106 final was razor thin. If they wrestled 10 times it'd go 5-5 probably. Not sure about the rest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch 178 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 We did not get a chance to see the results from the Wolverine tournament prior to the updates we did early this week. I do agree that there were several solid wins from Dixie and a few others schools. These results will be taken into consideration on the next set of rankings that will be posted prior to the regional tournaments. We will also be adding Tyland Tucker to the rankings @126. Good luck to all the wrestlers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLuchadore 10 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Once again, thank you Ranger123 for giving us old men something to talk about. 120lbs is gonna fun to watch at state. Insko with a lot of big wins and getting hot at the right time. 138 should be fun if Johnson stays down there, (I don't know why he would with a state title for his taking at 145.) Bell from LaRue up at 160 for regions, think he should do well at state. Leak and Smallwood should be fun at regions, they have been wrestling each other since they were kids. Good to see Shantz from Meade get some recognition, he is a strong 182 and hopefully does well at state. Steven and Jett at 1-2 for regions. Jett had some statement wins and Steven just dominating all year. Zachariah Jones from Central Hardin is legit at 220 and should compete for a state title. Glad to see Region 2 getting some recognition, tough teams and tough kids in this area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TECHnWIN 18 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 Lets take a second to commend Trent Johnson, the kids a go get er. Had what seemed to be pretty secure state title at 145. But decides to drop to 138 and even after loosing to sheffer once, challenge him for all of the marbles. Wish more kids were not scared to take losses and would bump around during the season. But this is the state title on the line, takes guts. Could the best match of the night possibly go in johnsons favor and prevent sheffer from #4? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 I sure hope wrestling gods put Sheffer and Johnson on opposite sides of the bracket. Nothing's a given, surprises always happen at state, but those two shouldn't meet up anywhere besides under the spot light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also off the top of my head Fern Creek graduated one state champion and another Region 3 returning placer is ineligible. Indeed Ferncreek may not have the talent that our team had back in 2015 or anywhere close to it, but they are young with guys that have only been wrestling a couple of years, and some train off and on when they want to. With that being said, coach Hitchings is one of a kind. A coaching legend. Kudos to that man for giving so much back to the sport and trying to turn chicken $hit into chicken soup. Ill be rooting for them no matter what their predicted because as i havr said before PREDICTIONS DONT MEAN JACK SH&& Adding onto that doesn't help the fact that cambron is no longer wrestling, he would have been the top dog at 145 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
