Don't have dog in the hunt, but why is Tristan Porsch not #1? Beat your #1 and #2 in 4A Saturday!!!!

That was my mistake. I changed the ranking on my spreadsheet, but I missed it for some reason when I was changing the official word document.

I'll try to have it fixed ASAP.

The correction will be made in the official rankings and 120 should like this:

1. Tristan Porsch-9-Hoxie
2. Alex Cavanaugh-10-Silver Lake
3. Ethan Ross-12-Norton
4. Marshall Schottler-12-Lyons
5. Dalton Hensley-9-Ellis
6. Cody Salazar-11-Sterling

Jonathan Ball was added back into the rankings at 138 this week after a great performance in Hays. The only reason I had him removed after the initial early season rankings was because he did not have enough quality wins over state placers or qualifiers to stay above some of the other wrestlers in the weight who were former state placers or qualifiers themselves.

I look for Ball to remain in the rankings for the rest of the season and have a major impact in Hays, this time at the Gross Memorial Coliseum.

That is some really odd rationale. A returning Kids state champion who is unbeaten, as long as he is eligible and healthy, should NEVER fall out of the rankings because of his competition. NEVER. (Even it is a kids state champ)

Brandon Ball is the returning state champion.

Jonathan Ball is a 9th grader, and is Brandon's little brother.

Wow Cokeley, maybe you should just stick to the harassing the 4A Rankers!

A rare Cokeley whiff (maybe it's frequent...I dunno)

Definitely rare.

The 4a ranking harassment was getting to be boring. I got my Balls mixed up.

Will didn't realize that the there are a couple sets of Balls in Hosington.

Will didn't know Hosington had more Balls than most other towns.

Will got confused when and extra Ball was involved.

I could do these all day!

7 to 5 still sounds like a win to me.

All I can promise is it will be a good match next time they meet! Good luck to them both.

I agree. Hope they get paired up at Fort Hays. I always enjoy seeing two great wrestlers compete.

......and as the last remaining blood drained from the bucket into the calm sea, he then sat back and waited..

"......you are going to need a bigger boat!"

If he (Ragnoni) was seeded to high then why is it he finish right where he was seeded?
