Kentuckywrestling.com HS Rankings 2017/2018 - February 12

Recommended Posts

It is finally here.  State tournament time.  This is the weekend that all of these kids have been working toward for the last 360 days.

Dutch and I have already spent somewhere in the neighborhood of a combined 24 hours working on rankings updates and Ranger report (coming later tonight or early tomorrow).

This is the last update of the rankings for the 2017-18 season.  While there was no change at the top of any weight class, there was a lot of shuffling around the podium spots.  This may be one of the worst seasons I have seen for kids getting injured, sick, or missing the post season for some other reason.  

Some items of note in this edition:

- While Grandstaff looks to be the heavy favorite at 106, the rest of the weight looks to be wild and wide open; should be very exciting to see it unfold.  Thomas beats Peace in Region 6 creating sort of an A beat B, B beat C, C beat A situation with spots 2-4.  In the end, the order doesn't change in the rankings because Peace has wins over both Thomas and Kinley, while Kinley has the win over Thomas.  

- 120 might be the deepest weight in the state for the second straight year; at least 15-16 kids are capable of making the podium

- 126 Jake Insko is flying under the radar coming back from injury; interested to see where he lands this weekend

- 138 guessing this will be the weight with the most "surprising" medalists; we can't figure this weight out

- middle weights (145-182) appear to be fairly solid and stable

- looking forward to a Travis-Pratt match at 220

- Team race is pretty stable as well, Union a solid #1 with Walton and X neck and neck for that #2 spot, Woodford/Oldham/Madison all close for the 4-6 spots

 

 

Ranger report should be finished up tonight and hope to get it posted early tomorrow.  Yes, that will interfere with Valentine's Day plans, but so does wrestling practice.

Ha ha ha. That is good. We are still pecking away. The wives didn’t get much sweetheart time last night as we worked long into the night for like 4 nights in a row. Hope to get it posted before I head off to practice this afternoon.
