shows 135 here and 140 in all class?

Chief,

Weldon is wrestling 215 for VC. Wrestled Heavyweight one match in Colby but he will be 215

Thanks. I will change that next Tuesday.

Any more results to make an update?

I turned them in yesterday. I'm not sure when Kramer will post them.

I was just looking at the updated 5A rankings and I couldn't help to notice that Parker Fields of Pittsburg was still ranked above PJ Cheney of Turner? I don't understand that because Cheney placed higher than Fields and he beat Torrez twice, and Fields lost to him. I also noticed that Beau Johnson of McPherson was ranked, but he lost to Jacob Wools of Pittsburg at the Emporia Winter Classic? Could anyone help with that?

Good point on Cheney. I will change that on the next ranking. Beau Johnson recovered on the backside to finish 3rd while Wools placed 6th. I considered other 125's but Johnson had criteria over them.

I always thought that it was head-to-head criteria that came first and then placing, competition, ect. I mean not to put Johnson down, he did well on the backside. But the 3rd and 4th match was a coin flip. Another thing, is Koehn coming back for Pittsburg after break? what about Jones?

Brent Koehn should be back soon, Jones, I'd guess not yet, but that kid is really tough, I would not put anything past him coming back this year.

Chief,

I notice on your latest ranking you have Louis Burley moving down to 152 and ranking him at 3. I believe that is a little high. Josh Miller has wrestled him a few times(3)and has never lost to him. The last time being last year, I believe, and pinned him. Also, Louis struggled to beat the kid from Augusta in the finals at the Douglass tourny. If it wasn't for a last second takedown, which was questionable, Louis would have went overtime against him. Please take a look at it. I believe you had 1 thru 4 correct before.

If your not #1 does it really matter where you are at?

Ha you make a great point Beeson

"Brent Koehn should be back soon, Jones, I'd guess not yet, but that kid is really tough, I would not put anything past him coming back this year."


I hope Brent comes back. But I wouldnt rank him second.He didnt place last year in a tough 140 bracket. He hasn't wrestled a match yet. It isnt preseason.

I think a wrestler should strive to be the best that they can be. Not all wrestlers have the same physical abilities or wrestling resources that others have, and they may never make it to the top. I know of at least one wrestler who would love to place in the top six this year, and wouldn't care where in the top six. I would have to believe that he is not the only one.
