alex wolf will be at 126 or 132

he will be at 126

Thanks. I will change that in All-Class soon. The next KWCA ranking is scheduled for November 22nd.

Will you post any changes that you get before you post the rankings?

Possibly. I plan to adjust the All-Class ranking before the next KWCA ranking that is scheduled for November 22nd.

Next update Tuesday, November 22nd!

Where is Clayton Himpel from Tongie? 4th @ 112 last year.

He is at 120, which is really deep. There have been some changes though and I do have him ranked in Tuesday's update!

I'm new at this whole suggestions thing...but
I thought Andrew Tujague of SJA was at 132? How come none of those Pitt kids got ranked any higher? I heard they had a hell of a weekend at Gardner. Metcalf was at 170 this week? Ranked at 182? Fields takes Hensley to a 1 point match and no credit? 4 kids from the SEK ranked at 138 (Fiscus, Hughes, Murdock, and Watkins), that's going to be a tough regional for everyone else. Durosette didn't even wrestle Murdock this weekend. Also where is Wools at in this mix. I think he beat #2 Durosette at their duals last year in overtime maybe and #4 Murdock. Could you help me with this one Chief. As you can tell I'm from the SEK (Iola).

Tank,
At this point in the season, there will be wrestlers that were expected to be at one weight and either end up a weight class above or a weight class below. There are things that happen, young men grow at the wrong time, others cut way more than you would expect, just stuff like that. SEK has some very strong teams with some great Kids' programs. Pittsburg, Fort Scott, Chanute, Columbus, Frontenac, etc. Your part of the state is well recognized for your wrestling by other parts of the state. Don't get too wrapped up in the rankings as things will change throughout the year. Wrestlers will move up in weight, others will move down, some that should place in State won't, others will come out of no where and place. It is too early to really know much of anything at this point.

Tujague is going 126. Wools was out due to injury this last weekend. Durosette's ranking is based on this years results. Good call on Metcalf. I missed that.

Jones, Fields, Cobb and Wools are all just outside the rankings. They are big reason that I have Pitt ranked #2 in 4A.

Eric,

Trackwrestling sez pin....but I think it was 5-4 a close tough match. Track is only as good as the input, there were other matches on track with incorrect results.

Thanks Richard. I actually saw some of that match and he looked really tough. The main reason that Fields is not ranked was the loss to Nick Haug.

Fields is what I call a hit and miss wrestler. For example, last year at Gardner he pins Nick Mancuso(SJA). Then at Bobcat Classic Mancuso beat Fields 6-3. He can look really good one day and then completely different the next.

That's a good point Quagmire, Fields is good one day and another you wouldn't even think that was the same kid.

Thanks Chief, I missed that Wools was out. I thought I heard something about Durosette getting injuried and forfeiting to Murdock this past Saturday? Has anyone heard anything about that?

I'm not questioning the rankings at all, I know a little about our kids, and much less about the rest around the state, that is for you and others who study/know the kids.....I just wanted you to know track was incorrect about the pin.

I'm very new to this suggesting thing as well. If I can input any info it is that Aaron Seybold look Very impressive in his final at Gardner against Dustin Williams, But Blackwell is still ahead of him. Now I don't know if Blackwell has a comment opponent victory or beat Seybold head-to-head, But in my opinion that match made Seybold look very good.

Those two are REALLY close. I would buy some popcorn to watch them wrestle. Blackwell does have a common over Aaron at the Bobcat last year. A collision course is ahead!

I have to agree with that! CAN NOT WAIT! who was the common?

Cain Salas from Oak Park

4A rankings are UPDATED!

http://www.kansaswrestling.org/images/docs/Results/12rankings/4a.pdf

What happened to Andrew Morgan?

He lost to Ikenberry and Joe Wolf and dropped out of the top 6.

WOW! SJA looks tough and is very young!

FS ranked- 2

SO ranked- 4

Jr ranked- 1

Sr- 0

7 ranked wrestler's that all return next year! The Thunder is starting to make some noise!

Thunder always makes noise?

at 145, Mitchell Baird beat Colton Clayborn by pin in the 2nd period at Douglas.

Is Willis from Sumner staying at 195 or going to 182?

I believe he has wrestled only at 195 so far. The Bishop Miege tournament results were never reported for some odd reason, so we're not sure there.

4A update due out TOMORROW!

around what time would you say???

Expected by NOON.

Probably something in their diets:=)

At 132Brenden Lewis from larned beat greg burley from great bend 17-6 Greg was 9th all class and 4th in 5a

Umm...Chief? Where is Jones of Pitt? I thought he wrestled at 113 this week.

I guess what threw me was his loss to Jacob Wilgers from MZ. I know that Tavis beat Taylor Smith from SPH, who beat Cokeley at 113 on Saturday. I will look at that weight again.

I know it's still a loss, but I am pretty sure Jones was winning that match 7-0 and then got pinned.

For the correct story, Wilgers was leading Jones 8-7 when the pin occurred. Jones had an early lead and Wilgers came back with two takedowns and nearfalls to go ahead before the fall. Wilgers has only lost to 1 Kansas wrestler, that being in the finals at Emporia. He has beaten Fields from Pittsburg 6-3 and has beaten Perez from Ark City as well. I don't believe this loss that Jones was given was a fluke as you are implying!

i think the dragons will make some more moves and waves in the rankings, as jones and fields have switched weights.

What weight are Fields and Jones wrestling?

4A Rankings updated!

170 Tanner Gardner CLW was dropped from the 4A rankings but is still in the All Class rankings?

I just added him back to All-Class. He was mistakenly taken off of 4A.

I just sent the 4A rankings to Kramer. They should be posted sometime soon.

4A is updated

I can not find the new 4A rankings. I hit refresh.
Fort Scott and Tonganoxie need some consideration. They had a good showing at the Bobcat along with several other 4A teams with Andale leading the pack.

4A Rankings are updated!

http://www.kansaswrestling.org/images/docs/Results/12rankings/4a.pdf

I definitely considered TG, FS, SPH and PV.

TG: Coach Goebel does a great job at Tongi! Tavis put himself on the map at Eudora. Both of the Himpel's are tough as nails. Adam Thomas is having a great year and Kissinger has emerged as a force at 220. Joe Wolf is flat out nails. I was totally impressed with him at 132. You can tell that Jeremy has his guys buying in. At the current ranking, I have them with three placers and they just missed the top 10. I would NOT be surprised to see them peak at year end.

FS: Fort Scott guys battled at Eudora and the Bobcat. Durossette had kind of a rough tournament but I know he'll be right there at the end. Sharp is always a competitor and Metcalf is having a strong season.
Victor "Victory" Hughes is one of my favorite stories this year. He beats Murdoch, Humphrey, Fiscus, A Fargo AA and OK state champ! The kid is on fire this year.

SPH: Tucker Woofter is a first class coach. That program is on the move. Smith, Spader, Hampton and Morris are a solid core and they've competed for hardware at several tournaments. This coach will always get the most out his wrestlers.

PV: PV looked strong at Eudora, placing above Baldwin and Chanute. They are led by the foursome of Konitzer, Roy, Thoele and Bradley. Their 106, Epperson will also score some points at state. Thoele had a nice win over Ewing and on any given day Jace Roy will beat you. Being the home of the buzz saw Bo Newport, I'm a PV fan!

Questions, Tanner Staats, Paola took 5th at Bobcat 145 & has a good record. Should he be ranked? Is Drake Hake in 9th or 10th grade?

Staats did have a strong showing at Basehor. His 10-1 win over Ware from CC was huge. Especially after Ware had just beaten a state placer 10-0! Who are his other 4 losses to? Drake Hake is reported to be a freshman. He beat a ranked kid as well as Erbe in the finals last weekend.

Thanks for the love Eric. Ft. Scott has studs, Goebel and Tucker are unbelievable coaches. Vandeventer, he sucks! At least I don't wear sweater vests!

all in fun
don't go postal from my post folks!

Didn't Drake Hake lose to Quade Woofter of Colby at the Eagle invite?

I've been notified by 4 people on this. Thanks!

Is brent keohn from Pittsburg still wrestling? dont see him at 182

Tried to im you chief, but you are full on the private messages

He is more than likely out until regionals! Thanks to a football injury from his Jr. year.

i am sorry to hear that. I saw him wrestle at Gardner and he looked in pain on his foot. We will be praying for it to heal up.

Vandeventer! He is such a Popeye....!

Yes, that is interesting.

Thanks for the list Will, Just interesting that former 5a schools are toward the top at 4a -

Not sure why or even if it matters.

It matters because everybody always cries about how hard it is to make it to state in 4a and that the 5a and 6a school have it made.

The five largest 4a schools are:

Pittsburg 717 (ranked 3rd)
Bonner Springs 709 (ranked 6th)
Maize South 697 (not ranked)
Lenexa-St. James Academy 689 (ranked 5th)
McPherson 683 (ranked 2nd)

all but Maize South are ranked in the top 6 in 4a.

Again, thanks for the "highlighted list" What does this mean?

It means that some years, schools have good wrestling teams, and are ranked, and some years, schools have bad wrestling teams, and are not ranked. If you have a good wrestling team, no matter the class, you are going to be competitive in your respective class. Any of the ranked teams will be pretty competitive in any class, most of the time.

I think he might be saying that the only good teams in 5A just went to 4A, which makes 5A even weaker. =)

I'm a little confused on why Wilson from RH isn't ranked at 126, he holds a record of 16-2. With his only two losses to Watters from Ark City and Mendenhall of Condcordia. He also defeated Trevor Kennedy of Garden City handily. No disrespect intended, but I think he deserves some recognition.

4A Rankings are updated!!


http://www.kansaswrestling.org/images/docs/Results/12rankings/4a.pdf

I saw this about Wilson:

12/3 - He missed El Dorado
12/10 - He missed Douglas

He then won a tournament against a 16-13 guy in the final. He beat Melcher in the final the next week 5-3. At Derby he beat Kennedy on the front side 6-4 (Is that handily?). Then he injury defaulted to Kennedy on the back side. He lost to Mendenhall 13-0 and to Watters 16-0.

Does he have criteria over anybody in that 126 ranking?

Thanks for the clarification, no disrespect intended but i was also curious on how you could rank Mies over Perez at 113 when Perez beat Mies in the finals last year 12-0? Thanks for the feedback. We'll see how the bracket goes at Rose Hill this week when Kretzer, Wilson, Umsheid, Mendenhall, and Watters are all in the same bracket, it's going to be a good one.

Pittsburg 5th in 5a last year and McPherson 15th. I know some things change in a year some stronger and some weaker. 5a and 4a going to be strong regardless. Not knocking other classes just speaking on 4a and 5a.

Mies beat Perez in the finals of the Pratt Tourney in early December. I believe the score was 7-2.

Alright thanks, i've been wondering about that the whole year. Like i said no disrespect intended, i just wasn't updated.

Mies is on a mission this year. I can't say that I have seen him wrestle, but the trees that he has chopped down while clearing a path to the State finals has been impressive.

120lbs- Fields Pittsburg pinned Chase Cole at their dual, then pinned Lightfoot in the finals at SEK.

sorry Chief I tried to send a PM, it said you were full

No problem. I have been contacted on that from five people now. It's definitely one that I missed.

Thanks!

Thats gonna be a good regionals in Fort Scott at 120. Konitzer, Fields, Cole, Hood, Sharp. Ought to be fun watching.

Fields has had a good season beating Sharp twice and pinning Cole, but does he have a common opponent over Konitzer or Hood. I'm not sure if they have met anywhere or not. I was just asking because Hood and Konitzer are both State placers?

great weekend of wrestling!! Will there be an update?

Usually comes out every Tuesday I think.

will be a doozy

was hood hurt earlier this season?

120 state bracket4a is stupid tough!

Yes, at Eudora.

4A should be updated tomorrow!

Yes it is, but I think that 152 and 160 are stupider tough.

?????

Thats my fault I thought I updated the website but I guess I didn't but they are up now.

4A Rankings are updated!

http://www.kansaswrestling.org/images/docs/Results/12rankings/4a.pdf

Pittsburg got some good news today....Brent Koehn is going to wrestle tonight in the dual with Parsons and Labette County. He has been out with a injury, but has been working hard to get healthy. 2 time state placer back in the line-up, glad to have him for regionals too.

at what weight is koehn? 182?

Yes, 182.

That's GREAT news!

That is great news. Will he be going 182?

Yes, 182.

Injured

Thanks for the info, that sucks. He's a tough competitor. Hope all goes well and he has a speedy recovery.
Thought Whitaker was going to be out also, but saw a post on another thread that he will be back this weekend.
