shouldn't Wildin be ranked over gantz? I don't know if this will mean anything at the moment... but rickie creek lost to wildin 4-0 last year at the chase county tournament and about a month later at the fall brawl gantz lost to creek 4-1... but hopefully gantz will be good and able to wrestle at the halsted tournament and we can get that answered.

so whats goin on with spencer shirk and zack bainter? i know that spencer was just ranked at 140 and now zack is?

I heard that Zach bainter is going up to 140..Now you have Kaenon Keiswetter that is able to wrestle who placed 3rd last year at 125 in the mix due to grades.

At 130, Tyler McMichael-Central-9 beat #4 ranked Nicholas Mueller-Hillsboro-12 at Herington 10-5.

Norton results show Caz Spangler winning it at 145, did he just drop for this tournament or is this where he is at for the year?

Rowland at 171lbs lost to the Oberlin and McCook,NE wrestler at the Oberlin dual.

At the Halstead Invitational this weekend, at 130 #4 Nicholas Mueller, Hillsboro, beat McMichael, Central, 9-2 to take the championship of the two day tournament to avenge last weeks loss to him.

In the semis Mueller pinned #4(4A-125)Trevor Williamson, Wichita Independent, and McMichael pinned #5 Cody Wildin, Marion. Wildin beat Williamson for 3rd.

Also at 189, John Hein, Hillsboro, remains undefeated as he won the championship for his weight class.

171 #6 is Nathan Simonsson-Oberlin-12

jesse gantz 140 only wrestling his 8th match of the year due to injury won the halstead tourney. there were 3 ranked kids @ 140 bontz 2nd 4a, wildin 4th 321a, gantz 2nd 321a. pretty though weight class. bontz was 2nd,wildin was 3rd. good job jesse. you deserve the #2 ranking in 321a.

Halbleib has been 152 all year..how is he ranked at 145? And i'm pretty sure Spangler is staying at 145

should be Ky Biddle-Central-9

Kade Sheldon at 125 is a Senior.

Zaldivar from Douglass pinned Solis in OT at the Halstead tourney. i think he deserves at least some consideration

I thought his name was 'Bidley'

lol

It was good to see you all at the Halstead Invite...see you @ Garden Plain.

Soward's

At 135, Webber was beaten by Bingham of Burlingame at Burlington and Devin Bingham was pinned by Nick Hockett of Cherryvale in the finals. However, Webber has been hurt so this may mean nothing. Also, Kyle White has been wrestling 140. Dalton Davis has been wrestling 119 not 112. At 112, Solis was beaten by Zaldivar from Douglass as previously stated. Steven Howard of Eureka beat Zaldivar 8 to 7 in a dual and finished ahead of Holub at the Minneapolis Tournament. Howard was beaten by Michael Vander Linden of Burlington at their tournament 11 to 8.

So 112 might go something like this:

112
1. Troy Bainter-Norton-10
2. Jeremiah Breen-Wellsville-11
3. Michael Vander Linden-Burlington-10
4. Steven Howard-Eureka-10
5. Daylen Zaldivar-Douglass-11
6. Anthony Henley-Herrington-12

why is atwood from smith center still ranked and ben brown from leoti not brown beat atwood at the norton tornment two weeks ago at 171.

I'm just a bystander on this ranking, but here is a suggestion. When giving input about criteria in the rankings, understand that this info is much appreciated. The rankers work hard to make the rankings as accurate as possible. Instead of asking, "Why is he not ranked?", just give the criteria information. The rankings are only as good as the input!

Amen, these rankings are fun, but as fans of wrestling we should know that the true ranking will emerge at state. Some times the weekend results are not the true measure of a wrestler, sickness, injury, and other factors often cause a wrestler to have an off weekend. Certain wrestlers never seem to peak until the end of the season, so enjoy the wrestling and these rankings will work themselves out in the end.
