Dear Coach Brown,

Just to let you know Calvin Ochs of Hoxie finished below Cole Werner of Plainville and Trevor Kennedy of Lakin at the Hoxie tourney in the 125 bracket.

I realize Ochs was a state runner-up at 112, but he likely lost to Kennedy in the semifinals at Hoxie. Kennedy was a state qualifier last year that made it to the blood round at 119. Werner was also a state runner-up and that was at a 119.

Ochs is a good wrestler, however he does not deserve to be ranked ahead of two wrestlers he finished behind in a tournament "this" season. If I were doing the rankings I'd put him at the 6th place spot because Michael Vander Linden of Burlington has not had a loss and he placed 4th at 119 last season. However, Vander Linden did wrestle in a quad dual last night where he could have wrestled Humphrey of Fredonia and Wright of Eureka. Nevertheless, Ochs should not be ahead of Kennedy or Werner.

I've got another spot I disagree with you. At 112s Axelson of Plainville was pinned by Wessling of Beloit in a dual at the beginning of the season.

I've also got another weight to pick on at 215s Luke Hayes of Scott City lost by fall to Adam Guthmiller of St. Francis at the Colby Duals.
