Clearly, with all due respect, you still have a fundamental misunderstanding of the class rankings. If you would like to call me at 913-484-3624, I would be glad to talk about every single weight. Let me try to explain once again, using four of the weights at the BC tournament...

106 - The Campus 106 placed 2nd and scored 16 points. He is currently not ranked in 6A. He has lost to Nippert and Reling who are also not ranked in 6A. Now to his credit, both of those guys are pretty tough and 106 is always up for grabs with all of the young talent. Having said this, I cannot currently award many points to him for the Class 6A tournament ranking. So... those 16 points go to about 2 points at state. The current rankings are forced to look in the rear view mirror at current criteria. I hope he places at state! I have no personal agenda here. Go Kai!

160 - The Campus 160 took 2nd and scored 20 points. He lost to a tough WH guy in the finals. He has also lost to two unranked wrestlers from MUL and HAY. He has not yet achieved criteria to rank him in 6A. So... those 20 points would go to 2-4 points at state. Once again, I wish Kevin the best! That weight is actually wide open and if he places high, I would not be surprised.

There are 5 or 6 other weights at that tournament that I can explain the same scenario at state.

Now let's look at WNW...

120 - The WNW 120 pounder took 1st and scored 18 points due to TWO byes that he got in the bracket. He is currently ranked 2nd in 6A but may end up 1st after this weekend. So, those 18 points stay there at 6A state. Possibly 20-24 points.

132 - The WNW 132 pounder placed 3rd and scored 15 points. You referenced him in another post as placing lower that the Campus guy at this weight. Brock and Brycen did not wrestle at this event, as you know? Brycen lost to Kasitz 11-0 in the finals. Brock lost to Kasitz 6-2 and is a returning state finalist. He is currently ranked 2nd at state. At that placing, he would score 15-20 points.

I could go on at 152, 170, 220 and 285 to show that the WNW points will stay high at the state tournament, based on current known criteria.

Now.... If you cannot see what is going on here, please call me OR have Mel Miller call me. I would be glad to further explain.

Whew...
