I'm sorry guys. I only have 3 complete D2 rosters. If anyone has rosters please send to hammrankings@gmail.com

Have you been on the site? Ocon and Musa are there already.

Call me a glutton for punishment, but several have asked for D2 rankings and I'm happy to say that they are in the works and will be published soon. Also soon a Middle School state wrestling rankings will be released!! Stay tuned...

Thanks -undefinedwrestler!!!!! If you are having trouble viewing the site, please click the following link: www.tnyouthwrestling.com/index.htm

May I ask that the rankings not be copied to any other site. The rankings are a toll to drive traffic tithe AAU site. Will you please remove them and post a URL? If they are posted to this site this may cause the ranking to stop as there will be no need. I ask respectfully for you to remove them and allow me to link them here to our site.

Changes have been made. Check again.

Everyone, The first rankings of the year has been posted. They are a rough copy to start the year. I recieved only 9 emails this year with rosters from teams, and two of those emails were from the SAME team. Participation was very low this year, so I did the best i could. As the season marches on, they will be more accurate. As for now, let the bashing begin! P.s. Please send any updates that may be noteworthy to hammrankings@gmail.com to view the first edition, go to: www.tnyouthwrestling.com

Coaches, For the past 12 seasons I have provided the rankings for Tennessee Wrestling Federation on the TWF website. I am writing to inform you that I will be now moving my rankings to the Tennessee AAU site (tnyouthwrestling.com) starting this season. If you would like your wrestler recognized or you feel as though you have a wrestler who should be ranked, please send me a short Emil telling me the wrestler's name, weight, school, and why they should be ranked to hammrankings@gmail.com Thanks so much and good luck this season, Hamm

Actually, you have just given several reasons for Podany's #2 ranking. The reason's you mentioned gives him a GREAT case for a D2 ranking, but does nothing for the D1 ranking. Reagan/Podany split matches last year with the last being a win for Podany. Regan placed higher than him at the state tournament and is undefeated on the year. Worry not. They will settle this on the mat very soon as they have both Region duals this month and state and Region individuals next month in order to do so.

No prob!

Blackwood has a similar case to that of Reagan (Heavyweight). He has no reported loss to any D1 wrestler and he is a 2x state medallist.

This may be very true. If a kid who has yet to wrestle this year, comes out and defeats a number one wrestler and is 1-0 on the year, does he not deserve to be number one at that point?

Podany has beaten a lot of quality wrestlers, which gets him to the number 2 slot, but until he defeats the #1 guy, the highest he can reach will be number 2. All this should be settled very soon. I believe they have 2 dates coming up this month where they will see one another.

Also, in the case of Byron Smith. Byron last week had a very decisive win over the defending state champ and previous #1 guy. Stevison and Stevens have split this year. Insalaco has a win over Byron. Byron lost to Poole, and did not place at Soddy and Poole has lost twice to Bromley. As of Sunday, there was no Greenville Invitational results posted and I was not aware that Boatman had decended. So with all of that information, you really have to do the best that you can.

As much as i respect your right to believe that the rankings are biased, that doesn't make you correct in that assumption. In the examples mentioned, Dickeson has a 5-1 record. His loss being a defensive pin loss to Becci (Brentwood Ac) while he was ahead on points with 3.9 seconds remaining on the clock. Pair that with a win over then #4 ranked Lee, and he moves up the rankings. Please believe, if Becci were Division I, he would be ranked ahead of Dickeson, but he is not. Richard has 3 losses (Langford (Walker Valley), Jefferson, Ga, and Delgado (Hendersonville)) on the year and has defeated all of those ranked below him. On the other hand, Delgado, while a VERY tough wrestler has reported losses to guys that are not ranked. Including a loss to Oakley (Creekwood). Richard was ranked much higher in previous rankings, but dropped this week after losing. Also, with there being no posted Ryan results anywhere, i had to go off of my memory. And once you have had so many blows to the head as i have, coupled with getting older, it may not be so great. I appreciate the criticism, and i want to keep these rankings as legitimate as possible. If you don't agree with them, well, that makes it that much more entertaining.

Tournament was AWESOME this year, and much better than last year. Competition was upgraded from last year and it seemed to run much more smoothly than last year! I also loved the fact that there was an alumni gathering the day before.

Central had a few guys sick all week that sucked it up and went thursday, but were held out for saturday. Held out for the day were: Kramer (220), Baltz (182) and Davidson (152). All were sick.

This is what i can remember. Sorry i can't give complete results Most Outstanding Lightweight: Marchetti Most Outstanding Heavyweight: Hazma Yunis Best match: 152 106- Califox (Ryan) over Becci (BA) 113- Lozano (Beech) over Simpson (Ryan) 120- Eckhart (Ryan) dec Insalaco (Wilson) 8-4 126- McCastland (Beech) dec Fisher (Ryan) 8-6 132- Akers (Ryan) dec Small (Wilson) 138- Simpson (Ryan) pinned Delgado (Hendersonville) 145- Marchetti (Ryan) over Olsen (BGA) 152- Bennet (Franklin) dec Cosgrove (Ryan) in o.t. 160- Humphreys (Dickson) over Dooley (Franklin) 170- ??? don't remember 182- Yunis over ???? 195- Garstin (MBA) over Stacey (Ryan) 220- Mason (BA) over Equakun (MBA) 285- Podany (Beech) dec Robinson (MBA)

Rose was a typo. It was supposed to say "Crawford". my bad. Changes will be reflected next week.
