I watched many of those matches between Tyler Lowe and Luke Plummer last season. From my perspective it was more Plummer's style, keeping matches close by defending his hips and not opening up, that kept those matches close. I was only able to catch bits pieces of his matches at the Eureka Tournament this year. However, I will be at TVL Duals and the Fredonia Regional so I'll be sure to watch his matches while he is wrestling at those remaining tournaments before State.

There are plenty of ways to skin a cat or wrestle, but those matches last season with Tyler Lowe did not stand out to me as performances that warrant a ranking over the seven wrestlers currently ahead of Plummer at this time.

Looks like there will be some changes at 106! what a tourney in Phillipsburg

Yes, Chris Deters of Marysville has really been wrestling well these past few weeks and was victorious in a difficult weight class. Should be an interesting State bracket.

Here are the updated 321A Rankings for this week.

The official rankings are incorrect at the top of 120 but I'm working on having them updated. It should be as follows:
1. Logan Bowen-10-ACCHS
2. Haegan Schaefer-10-Silver Lake

Bowen has a win over Pratt of Baldwin who beat Schaefer this past weekend at Silver Lake.

I see some changes at 113!

What happened to lively of norton at 145. Now Cody Ellis is ranked.

Cody Ellis was sick during the Western Kansas Tournament of Champions. Lively is actually on Junior Varsity to Cody Ellis.

Yep, Cavanaugh of Silver Lake wrestled really well this past weekend and Ross of Norton getting beat in the dual with Smith Center kind of shook things up at that weight.

Ah, so if Ross really deserves a ranking, he will have to show it at regionals!

I had to go back and look but on page two of this topic, the ranking looked like this:

145
1. Tagen Lambotte-11-Rossville
2. Chance Demel-12-Hoisington
3. Triston Hurla-11-St. Marys
4. Nick Sells-12-Russell
5. Nic Johnson-11-Sedgwick
6. Eli Bozarth-12-Norton

So I'm guessing since Bozarth got hurt again this year, Ellis moved down a weight. If you look at the Hoxie results on 12/1, Bozarth won the 145 lb and Ellis was second at 152.

.

You are correct.

Phillipsburg has beaten Plainville in 2 tournaments and a dual. They have also beaten Norton in tourney and dual and Hoxie in tourney. How can Phillipsburg be ranked behind all these teams at 10th?

They have 3 ranked in the top six. If they only place those three, 10th place is about right. Are there any of their wrestlers that have criteria to be ranked higher?

When and where did Phillipsburg beat Norton in a dual? I can't find that in the results anywhere.

Plainville has six wrestlers ranked in the top six, Norton has five wrestlers ranked, Hoxie has four wrestlers ranked, and Phillipsburg has three wrestlers ranked.

Team tournament placements and dual results do not have any influence on individual rankings, which is where the team rankings are derived from.

Here are the updated 321A Rankings.

44% of the ranked wrestlers are in one regional. And 6 top 10 teams.

Norton= 44% of the ranked wrestlers, 4 #1 ranked wrestlers.
Onega= 25% of the ranked wrestlers, 4 #1 ranked wrestlers.
Fredonia= 15.5% of the ranked wrestlers, 3 #1 ranked wrestlers.
Garden Plain= 15.5% of the ranked wrestlers, 3 #1 ranked wrestlers.

Should be a fun weekend! Looking forward to the 113 bracket at Onega should be a fun one! Also interested in the 120 bracket at Norton it's BRUTAL!

Any upset predictions for this weekend?
