What happened to Hurla?
Hurla was beaten 10 to 1 by Kevin Taylor of Silver Lake this weekend at the Silver Lake Tournament in the consolation finals. Hurla did pin Taylor in the quarterfinals, but Taylor has the most recent win so he is ranked ahead of Hurla at this point.
Talyor is not ranked because he lost to Steven Yergey of Hoxie at the Beloit Tournament.
Chance Demel of Hoisington assumes the 6th place ranking because he is a returning state placer. He did lose to Hurla by fall at state last year, however the loss to Taylor bumps Hurla behind Taylor. Demel is ahead of Taylor because of his state placement.
Right now I would say that Hurla is ranked 8th and Taylor is 7th, however this could change if Hurla beats Taylor this Friday at the Mid East League Tournament. If this is the case I will likely move Hurla up to 6th over Demel, because of last season's state results. If Taylor wins then the rankings will likely not change, unless some other ranked wrestler at 140 loses.
