Chief, I’ve really enjoyed reading your rankings this season but what gives…how can you move Maple into a tie with Napier in the final rankings at 135? What did you see this weekend that would make you think they are now even?
Napier pinned #4 (Hood, 34-2) in the semi finals and gave #3 (Anderson 38-0) a takedown lesson in the finals of 4A that wasn't even close?
Maple beat Wagner who had 11 loses in the finals of 6A, but other than Maple no other kid in the bracket is even listed in the All Class Rankings.
…and I believe Napier beat Maple last summer in both freestyle and greco?
Good points regarding FS and Greco. And, someone told me that CJ would be too smart and too fast and too good on his takedowns to let it be decided down on the mat. Meaning, he would take Maple down, then let him up and try to repeat the process. Much like he did in his final this year. They are both VERY IMPRESSIVE athletes and I hope I get to see them wrestle each other one time in folkstyle before they move on to the next level.
Good luck and congrads to both.
