KentuckyWrestling.com HS Rankings - 2006/2007 preseason July 28

[Ranger123 43]

Here they are!  I know it is still July and weights are still fluctuating, but we have seen a lot of good competition this summer and I think a lot more activity in general.  This should make for some good wrestling this winter.

I am listing my top 15 for most weight classes right now.  The exceptions are 103 and 171 which I don't think are deep enough right now to go beyond the top 10.  As always, let me know what you think.

    Just curious, but i was wandering how good Steven Watson 189 really is? I had a hard time finding his name at last years results, is he wrestling over the summer or something? Must be doing something to be in the top in the state.

[three 9]

Jaron Singly 189 from Whitley should probrably be on the list he beat several of the guys listed just this summer.

[penguinskillkids 0]

I believe Steven Watson was injured before state last year.

[Guest DAWG6]

Like ranger said we have a long way to go before December.

[Chicks Dig Scars 0]

Pretty good, but did they change the weight class to 285 or is that i typo... maybe I'm out of the loop.

[Ranger123 43]

Jaron Singly 189 from Whitley should probrably be on the list he beat several of the guys listed just this summer.

Who has he beat this summer?  I find it hard to believe he has seen several of the guys ahead of him.  I have him just outside the top 15.

[Broke Back Wrestler 0]

These look really good only thing that I would change is Ryan Houchens being ranked #10 at 189.  I see him definiatly in the top 5 at this weight in my openion.  And I think his preformance at Fargo should be in account almost making AA is an amazing accomplishment.  But well wait and see when the season starts.  Other than that I think the rankings look great. :-D

189 will be a very tough weight.  The tough part is who moves down?  Houchens went a respectable 3-2 at state at 171 last season.  At the top you have the two finalists at 171.  Green took 4th at 189.  Shipp went 2-2 at 189, but lost to Starks and Chaney.  Turner took 8th at 189.  Kelly took 7th at 171.  Benson went 3-2 at 189, losing to Turner and Jacob Watson.  Guiler went 3-2 at 189 losing two close matches to Benson and Winter.  Raleigh went 3-2 at 189 losing a close match to Winter (6th) and Ashworth (7th).

It looks like Ryan is stepping it up, but I'm sure a lot of these other guys are working hard too.  Like I said, this will be a very tough and competitive weight class.

[Ranger123 43]

Speaking of those 189s, look at how region 7 is shaping up.  It isn't the region 6 145 pounders of last season (Aylor, Wilson, Cooper), but there are 4 top quality kids here:  Starks, Green, Guiler, and Likoy.  Some region champ will have their hands full in round one with one of those guys come state time.

[ubtappin 1]

What about Myron Bradbury?  He should be above Salyers at 103.

[Ranger123 43]

What about Myron Bradbury?  He should be above Salyers at 103.

Trinity already has Dan Smith at 103.

[dscicle 6]

What about Myron Bradbury?  He should be above Salyers at 103.

Will Bradbury wrestle for Trinity or follow his brothers at Central Hardin?

[Mathound 4]

Yes the weight class is 285 this year. For all the rule changes check this thread:

thanks ranger for doing these, they are awesome....although we all know there will be some mistakes, but they are always neet to see especially for kids seeing their names on here!  thanks for the hard work!

[overtimeking 0]

steven watson should be higher on the rankings sheet he is much better then an 11th place finish but i gues we will have to wait to see him wrestle before you move him up but the rankings are good but i think jackson should be at least number 2 at 140  or even number one

[grappler-of-old 44]

OK I know this is extremely early but I was wondering where the other Region 6 103's are.  You have only T.J. Bates and Steve Supe ranked this year.  T.J. won the 6th region but Supe only placed 6th.  What about Chitwood 2nd in region 6, Vaughn 3rd in region 6 last year and Wren 5th at region 6 last year.  Vaughn defeated both Wren and Supe last year in the regional. Wren defeated Supe for 5th.  I also believe Supe lost to Wren in the middle school region. 

I don't want to take anything from Supe, but why are the other 3 left out? 

[Just Wrestle 0]

FYI- Looks like Parks will be at 119. 

[Southern112 0]

I think the rankings look Really Good....good job again Ranger....I wonder why they dont have you do the ACTUAL rankings...

There are no (Actual) official rankings in KY

Only time will tell.

The actions on the mat dictate who should, would move up or down.

[Mathound 4]

Ranger123 is in charge for KentuckyWrestling.com's rankings.

The KWCA rankings are completley different.

I'm guessing you were refering to the KWCA rankings as the "actual" rankings. The only way any KY rankings would be the state's official rankings is if they were done by the KHSAA... but I'd rather them stick to keeping up with regulations and records.

[overtimeking 0]

yeah i know what youmean there and i like the rankings i think it gives the wrestlers something to work for and when they see there name it gives the convidnce to do better and the ones who aint on it they will work harder to beat the man to beat

Jaron Singly 189 from Whitley should probrably be on the list he beat several of the guys listed just this summer.

jaron singly from whitley county is going 171 next year

I don't want to take anything from Supe, but why are the other 3 left out? 

Good catch.  The others are just further down the list.  Supe should be lower.  Plus, I did miss Wren.
