Here are the initial 321A Rankings. They are based largely off of last year's state tournament results. I have not moved any wrestlers into different weight classes because I have no confirmed weight projections, so these rankings will change quite a bit once the season starts.

I've also tried to remove any wrestlers that I know have moved or transferred to other schools.

Let me know of any mistakes I might have made and I look forward to handling the rankings for 321A this season.

The main thing I see is that there are some Goodland kids ranked, and Goodland is 4a this year.

Thanks for catching that. I also had a Rock Creek wrestler ranked, so I'll get that corrected.

Not a single freshman makes the rankings?

birddog,

From what I can tell Mr. Bechtel is looking for feedback "actionable intelligence" that he can begin to make adjustments to the rankings since they were primarily based on last year's high school State placings. I am sure that there are freshman that will be in these rankings prior to the start of the season as long as someone with knowledge of their wrestling resumes can make a quantifiable case for them being there.

Wyatt thanks for taking over this chore. I do understand you are using last years weights and the performance/placings at state but at 145 Taylor Schuets of ACCHS took 6th place and beat Weiss of Russell at state 6-3. Weiss beat Brown of Oberlin 16-6 and neither placed, so did you just overlook Taylor?

Thanks, I just overlooked it while I was searching the brackets for returning state placers. I probably thought that 11 next to his name was a 12.

The rankings on the forum have been corrected but the KWCA pdf will be incorrect. Don't worry, Taylor will be in the official November 20th rankings.

I appreciate the effort that you have and will put into the rankings. I think you might have overlooked a wrestler at 170. Derek Bayless, Sr. Caney< placed 3rd last year at state. He wrestled Jason Berkgren twice at the State Tournament. Berkgren won the 1st match 6-5 and Bayless won the second match (to take 3rd place) by a score of 9-5. I have no idea if Bayless will wrestle 170 this year. Thanks again for what you are doing!

Thanks, I did not know all of the ages of the Caney wrestlers because there were no grade levels listed next to their names on the 321A State brackets or the Eureka Regional brackets.

Guy Kinder and Kolton Stalford were the only wrestlers who I could remember a grade level for.

Derek will be moved into the rankings on the forum and the official rankings on November 20th. I had mistakenly listed him as a senior on my rankings last year and never had it pointed out to me, so thank you again for the correction.

Enjoy being the ranker Wyatt, I enjoyed my time as the ranker and hope that you do as well.

First of all Wiesner is going 170 and second of all he wrestled Berkgren several times this summer at Southern Plains camp/tournament and tooled on him each time.

Where is Kade Brown in all of this? He's a stud! He was just sick going into state. He should be up there for sure.

Rumor has it Johnson is going 170 so might pencil him in somewhere there, also Graham from PR is going to try 126. Another one to look out for is Tony Weber from PR who is going back to 113 two time state qualifier and multi match winner at state in that bracket.

Are these going to be updated today like the rest of the Classes?

Why would you have to do anything until the first tournament is over?
That will show who is where and what...

These are not even close!!! Do some homework son.

Your comment would be a lot more productive if you provided some information to help clarify your position. The rankings are just best guess at this moment and will change through out the year as these fine young athletes go to battle at the tournaments around the state.

Jonathan I agree this is just kind of an educated guess at this moment in the season.

Hey KsCoach it would be interesting to see what your thoughts are on the rankings, as this may help future rankings in 321a or even the all class.

I would not want to do these rankings this early in the season.
