Yes, Hudson did beat Howard. I believe the score was 11 to 7. My understanding is that Howard gave up a 5 point move on a failed outside trip from neutral and it proved to be the difference in the match.
The rankings did not change at 119 because Hudson lost to Biddle at Eureka and Howard beat Biddle in the finals at Eureka.
This season Hudson and Howard are 1-1. With Howard winning at Fredonia and Hudson winning at TVL. Hudson has the most recent win, however I can't move him ahead of Biddle because of Biddle's win over Hudson.
Regionals will give a little more clarity as to who should be ranked where. The 119 bracket at Leon will be pretty interesting with the 4 wrestlers who have state experience, 2 of them being previous state placers.
