If I read your post correctly Wyatt you ranked Ross ahead of Cavanaugh at 113 because he won two tournaments (Hoxie and CC)From what I see he did not win at CC. Cavanaugh on the other hand has won two tournaments and is undefeated!
Yes, I was wrong on Ross winning at Clay Center. I entered it in my rankings spreadsheet wrong and didn't bother to look at the tournament results to double check. However, Ross lost 3-0 against #3 ranked Josh Goepfert-12-Marysville, so that isn't a loss that should hurt him.
Cavanaugh took 2nd at Onaga this past weekend and had a 7-4 loss to #2 ranked Brady Lowell-12-Republic Co., also another "good loss".
Cavanaugh has quality wins that I know of over state qualifiers Tony Weber-11- Pleasant Ridge and Sheldon Harris-11-Wathena.
Ross has wins over state qualifier Troy Juenemann-10-Oberlin and MaCoy Rains-9-Oakley, who finished 3rd at Kid's State 14&Under 105 in 2012.
At the end of the day I view them as even at this point in terms of quality wins and losses. Ross gets the edge because he is an upperclassmen and he finished 5th in the Kid's State 106 High School Division last season. Finishing 6th at Kid's State 14&Under 100 in 2012 hurt Cavanaugh in my criteria as I view him and MaCoy Rains-9-Oakley on nearly equal footing. Rains is ranked 7th in my rankings, so that helped Ross in terms of quality wins. I also realize Cavanaugh did not get to wrestle all of his matches at Kid's State, but I still feel comfortable with the way I have this weight ranked for the time being. Cavanaugh will have his chances to improve in the rankings as he has difficult schedule ahead of him.
I hope that helps explain my reasoning, and I'm sorry I put in the wrong result for Ross at Clay Center.
