People that comment are just having fun too with the whole thing and have a right to give opinions, etc. without having to "calm down". Like me. I know that I should just "let it go" but this is just too much fun.
Good. It is fun.

It was a great time and I did overmarry!

I would definitely change them with sufficient criteria.

I had to post my criteria. All of those guys were considered and are tough kids.

Gentzler has many more accolades than that kids state title. Again, #2,3 and 4 on that list are REALLY close.

Good point. I will look at that again.

Wolf is very tough. He did beat Austin and then lost to Stalford, Kriss and Cole to place 6th in the same bracket, right after Hood beat Cole to place 4th. Hood in my opinion is better but the 112 jump will be a test.

Wrestler should be higher although he can't be above Hines because he lost to him at HS state.
I have Hines and Wrestler ranked 1/2 in 4A. Stalford was a State Champion and Prescott was a finalist. Wrestler took 6th at State with 11 losses. I agree that on any given day Tim could beat these guys and I know how tough he is, but I believe he's ranked correctly for now.

Beasley is ranked #2 All-Class. That win over Smith at kids state was a gift by anyone who actually saw the match. That is not to say that he and Smith are not extremely close. The 1.5 periods or in that case 1.6 period is not the only reason I decided that way.

Although I am sure that it will be more difficult with each of my responses. Keep up the great work either way. And for the rest of you, let the mud fly. And of course, have a great day!
