Should Michael Torrez really be ranked 6th at 112? He may not have had previous match ups with any of those ranked above him, but I think he should be given more credit.

I have no actual criteria so don't go crazy on me just my thoughts on it.

Well its hard to rank a kid better with out any previous match ups and how has he done at state before..
but someone i think people might need to look out for is Himple from tog i think he might make some up sets

Himpel had a great weekend at Eudora going 5-1, beating Sharp, Fort Scott, Clark, Baldwin, Wagner, Effingham, and wrestling Keller of Lansing a good championship match before losing 0-4.
Last week at KV duals, he beat PJ Chaney-Turner, Justis Seaton-Bonner, and went OT with Torrez-Basehor losing 0-2. Not bad for an unranked freshman.

Agreed, Himple is definitely a tough kid and should not be overlooked at all in state rankings.

Also, criteria for Torrez is his match over Himple to overtime and Himple beaing Clark of Baldwin ranked 4th currently.

Maybe something more like
4th-Torrez
5th-Himple
6th-Clark

Why would you take garrett matthews (royal valley) off of the rankings? He had a slightly better state performance than Michael Torrez which I believe gives him a slight edge. Instead put
4-Matthews
5-Torrez
6-Himple

Rank garrett were you think he fits,we will see were he belongs after the 18th.Hell dont rank him at all.Let torrez have some fame.

Looking at the state brackets from last year Torrez and Matthews both lost to Brak Hake, yes Matthews got farther so i would have to agree with you Bender.

And Dave, your right we will see after the 18th as well as state too.

I wish they could met now,and just for your info brad and garrett has been wrestling each other since 6th grade in concordia,so pratice,and meets .Garrett beat him his freshman year and brad beat him last year,and at state if you watched the match went to overtime.It could of went both ways.Garrett has jr this weekend so we will see.Good luck this year hope to see you guys at state.

Ah i see, that makes it much more arguable for Garret then.

Best of luck to you too.

I believe Matthews has already beaten 2nd ranked 3A Hunter Speer by a 7 to 2 score THIS season and from what i have saw of him, I very honestly would not be a bit surprised to see him as a finalist this year. He is looking that tough and seems to have a ton of determination.

Why is Adam Luthi of Holton not ranked at heavy weight? He is a returning state qualifier who had wins over three of the currently ranked wrestlers last year. He T-falled #6 Austin, beat out #5 Holt at regionals, split with #2 Lynn, and took #1 Denner into over time.

#6: Dylan Litherland – 12 - EUD

At #6 heavyweight - name is "Litherland." Not bad for a kid that came to wrestling his sophmore year!

I just would like to say it's time to look at the ranking again because someone is worried about costa when there is a kid ranked from hiawatha that has not wrestled since last year and has quit the team. the bottom line is to get to the state all you have to do is WIN

Sharpe from Mulvane is at 135 now.

I think #171 needs revisited (in my humble opinion) and im not sure where Mumaw was during the st. Mary's tournament. is he stil injured?

I know that I'll be spending a lot of time figuring out 171 All-Class. To complicate things Tyler Henness beat Tyler Baughman at the Bobcat then got majored by Blaine Hill of SME in the finals.

I believe Mumaw reinjured his knee at Herington. He was fine throughout the first two matches but in the last minute of the finals match with Ward he twisted it again. They were both working for takedowns and Mumaw went to throw a slide by and Jordon backed out of it and was dropping to a single and Mumaw tried getting away and ended up going down holding his knee

I don't know alot about that 171 class, but Blaine Hill was pretty impressive.
