Nick Haug and Shane Brock. Haug may still return and I have not seen Brock in the MZ line-up. It's been Nuno there.

WOW I was looking throught the 6A rankings, and it looks as if 6A is going to be tough for years to come. Only 5 out of 14 #1 ranked kids are seniors. This could make for some good match ups in the future.

Tommy Miller is a Junior at 120lbs .

6A rankings are updated!

Earnest Caldwell Of Wichita East Pinned Jordan Beckner Of Wichita Northwest @ GWAL.

Yes Caldwell beat an injured Beckner, But he got PINNED in first period by unranked Devin Moore of Bishop Carroll in finals of GWAL Tournament.

On Thursday Garret Haskins WH/145(16-16) was beating Ernest Caldwell (Wichita East) 8-1 and then pinned him.
On Saturday at GWAL Haskins was beating Caldwell 7-6 and turned in from bottom and was pinned by him.
On Saturday at GWAL Caldwell then pinned Beckner from Wichita NW #6 ranked 145.
2 weeks prior, Haskins beat Beckner 14-8
On Saturday at GWAL Spangler (From Goddard and now Wichita North) beat Haskins for the 2nd time this season.
On Saturday at GWAL Beckner Inj defaulted to Spangler from North.
Now add in that Beckner has beaten Spangler twice previously...and beat Caldwell in their dual 18-9...

???

Devin Moore, Bishop Carroll @ 145 beat Spangler in semifinals and then pinned Caldwell in finals of GWAL. No, it doesnt have anything to do with 6A only, but shows who was best in Wichita on that day. Good luck to all wrestlers at state regionals this weekend.

You are correct..... It has nothing to do with 6A and Devon was the best GWAL Wrestler on February 9th, 2013. He is a tough kid and seems to be a nice young man.

If you want to plug your kid you have a 1st Amendment right to do so. Seems a little strange being it was only a discussion for 6A Rankings but you know what, free country…… (For Now at least)! Have a great Regional and State Tournament and I hope BC and KMC represent the league well!

Wasn't meant as a plug, but if that what it sounds like, I'm fine with that. I just was amused that a 16-16 wrestler is worried about seeding criterion for a regional. All you have to look at is the overall records. Also,props to Beckner who has been wrestling with an injury. Everyone have good luck and be without injury throughout regionals everywhere.

That 16 an 16 wrestler made no coment or was worried about regionals not sure where you got that. He'll do the best he can with whoever he gets first.

Every year I get questions about wrestlers that are on the same side of the bracket. For example a #1 and #2 on the same side.

These rankings are not predictions according to the brackets. They are rankings based on my available criteria.

Thank you to all coaches, wrestlers and fans that have contributed to the accuracy of the rankings! It has been another great year of wrestling!

To all the wrestlers going to state:

At 195 Wichita East's Deonta Thomas is ranked 2nd but he did not wrestle at regionals.

That is corrected and will reflect shortly. Thanks.

Rief Chenegade-

I know you have a tough job doing the rankings. I feel for you, as it's a thankless job...but while you're making corrections, I have to stick up for #TeamTopHat here. The fact that they're not ranked in the Top 10 at this point in the year makes me think that it was not you, but your alter-ego Dr. SillyPants McGee who was responsible for this week's Top 10 list.

Before you laugh your old friend Prant out of the forum, peep this: I know that the top-hatted grapplers of Ol' Rooal beat Lawrence (#7) in a dual earlier this season, even though WR was missing several starters. (I'm sure Lawrence was, too. Them's the breaks.) If, however, your rankings are based not on dual prowess, but tournament performance, then I am puzzled as to why Wichita Heights (#10) is ranked, as Washburn Rural beat them just last week at regionals.

Individually, I would love to see #TeamTopHat's own Weston Mikoleit get some love at 132. I mean, the guy is 18-2 and a regional champ, and he's been unranked since returning from injury. His wrestling ability is simply Prant-like (but quicker, more technically proficient, and with a significantly better record). And I firmly believe that anyone whose ability is labeled "Prant-like" is a rankable individual.

Just because #TeamTopHat's coach is too large for belts and totally demolishes all hospitality rooms is no reason to hold it against his wrestlers, Rief. Do the right thing and give #TeamTopHat some love.

Love,
Prant Garker

Prant,

All of us on the forum are glad to see your return on the forum and your explanation of the strange logo you are now calling your own. I have seen Rural's improved team and agree that they are not to be overlooked in any bracket. In your Heights comparison, they placed 7 at Regionals and will likely place 3-4 at state with a likely champion. Rural placed 10 at regionals and currently have 2 ranked wrestlers, the highest at 5th place. I absolutely considered your 132 but could not find criteria that would displace a ranked wrestler. Your 195 also has a good chance of placing and has at times been ranked.

Having said that, it would not surprise me at all to see the Junior Blues crack the Top 10. All the best in Wichita!

- Chief

Rief-

While I appreciate the detailed explanation and the work you do, this all seems like a big Chike Murch conspiracy if you ask me.

Chike Murch is a known throughout the Kansas wrestling community as a shady character. If 6A rankings were a Denzel Washington movie where Denzel was a hard-headed-but-lovable-cop trying to change a corrupt system from the inside, Chike Murch would play the role of the rotten supervisor who is in on the corruption and tries to thwart Denzel at every turn so he can line his fat pockets with diamonds and gold and stuff. In short, Chike Murch is not to be trusted. Just FYI.

#TeamTopHat!

Grant Parker,

While you may believe that, you could not be further from the truth. Chief sends me the rankings after they are done and posted.

As far as being a Rotten person, corrupt person, lining my pockets, and an untrustworthy person..... You are allowed your opinion just like the rest of the nation and have a 1st Ammendment right to say what you want.

I am going to assume you were joking to make myself feel better, but if your characterization of me is your honest feeling...
Sorry you feel that way.... and feel free to come to me face to face Friday or Saturday and explain why..

but don't be upset if I exercise my constitutional right to defend myself.... only I won't need a weapon but instead a deadly double leg and ground and pound!

Have a great day!

Prant, would it not be Wenzel Dashington or am I to infer that this whole flip thing is only for wrestling people and does not apply to the "real world"? And if that is the case, what about Meston Wikoleit? Is it just for older wrestling people or for people you like, or don't like in the case of Chike Murch? You need to be more consistent with this whole thing because as is, I am not sure on the reasoning.
