Kentuckywrestling.com 2024-25 Season Rankings - December 18

Recommended Posts

A little more of a comprehensive ranking update here.  I pulled out anyone I did not see on a roster.  And will likely pull anyone that I don't see results for by the first week of January.  I'm expected to see a number of weight changes coming in the next few weeks.  Still a couple weights that need to be filled out as we see more competition and results in the system over the next couple weeks.

Keep an eye out for both Colin combs (215) and Kasey Conley (190) from Perry County Central (Region 8) they’re both now sitting at least 10-0 if not more wins I’m not 100% sure but I know neither have lost.

Keep an eye out for Chase Stacy from Martin County at 150 and Carson Gillum is out for the rest of the season due to an ACL tear

Stacy lost to number 29 ranked Chase Gillum by techfall right?  Didn’t know who he was just went and looked at his track. Maybe Gillum is underrated at this point.

Chase Gillum is extremely underrated. I guess he'll have to let his wrestling speak for him. 

Ironically enough, that's what everyone does.

As I was sitting by my fireplace reading Rudyard Kipling's "Boots" with a glass of bourbon in hand (neat, of course) and pondering life's most relevant questions; I began to wonder how close the first round of December high school wrestling rankings reflects the accuracy of the final rankings before state. I guess I don't have a question - more of a curious muse.

The top 3 would be pretty accurate with kids changing weight and all

At 144 we could see Roberts vs Birk in Ohio at the SWOCA. Depends on the bracket. Ohio doesn’t want 2 KY kids in the finals though. Look for them to meet in the semis or even the quarterfinals. Fingers crossed we get that match.

Yes he is, he just won the Bobby Bates tournament in Virginia and it’s a tough tournament.

I think he’s going to be a tough match this year. But Bobby bates is not a tough tournament.  It’s a really weak tournament.

I would be interested to see how this data driven app stacks up against rangers knowing and interacting way after the state tournament

I’m betting on Ranger !!

I've occasionally compared.  I think where 100% data driven can have issues is weight changes and weird results.  It is also dependent on accurate information getting into track in a timely manner.  But overall it does a solid job.  BIG catch, it is a paid service now.  With all of the services we are all paying for these days, it is hard to justify paying to view rankings. They do have some cool statistical data that some like.  I think Dr Baker keeps us updated with the pin leaders on a regular basis.

It’s a fun tool to mess around with, but it messes up a lot. Sometimes you have to read between the lines. There are always outliers in statistics. Ranger is pretty close to it.

100% agree and that is what I meant by Ranger's is better because of knowing/interacting with the kids and wrestlers across the state.

RankWrestler gets you a close idea of a wrestlers strengths (the percentages in DrBakers image above right after the kid's current record) and you can see the strengths of their opponents but there is a human element that is missing.

I agree with Ranger that it's disappointing that it has turned into a paid service and also disappointing that the costs keep going up.

I offer you a challenge …CHAD,

My Ranger against your RankWrestling

They each pick the top 3 finishers after the brackets are released.  Each pick you get correct is 1 point.

I will bet you one strawberry milkshake that Ranger wins
