Plus the 171 rankings are a little off. Why is chris stuart on there??? he is ONLY a sophomore, while there are some outstanding sophomores like pete eck, but he barely beat zahm who was recently ranked #4. notibly though, people dont realize that he lost once! and he lost to dukes from douglass who is still undefeated i believe.
The rankings are off because the ranker is off. It would be nice if coaches and fans would post their tournament and dual results for all to see, but I can only go off of the information made available to me. Dukes was a round away from medaling last year and should be ranked probably 3rd. I just kind of lose track of guys when I can't find results. The Basehor Tournament had a lot of top 4A teams last weekend and so that tournament kind of had an effect on the ranking for this week.
As for ranking 171:
1. Neil Erisman (easy pick)
2. Pete Eck (easy pick)
3. Dennis Fairleigh (did not realize he was hurt, I may have been mistaking him for Riner)
4. Chris Stuart (won the Augusta Tournament that Zahm was at and so was Douglass but not Dukes so I missed out on that head-to-head, if they met earlier and Dukes won then I probably missed that one. Stuart is probably getting pretty good if he has Elliot as a workout partner and I know Dukes is tough because destroyed one of my own kids at state last year and he comes from a program that was winning state titles in the 1800s)
5. Will Irvine (3rd at Basehor)
6. Dakotah Gettler (5th at Basehor)
there are other screwy rankings out there but it is hard to rate the talent when it seems like there are only a few studs followed by average wrestlers.
if disney lost to siemer at 215 (or so ive heard) then why is disney still #1???????
