ghouse, when will D2 rankings be posted for week 3?

so father ryan wrestled rounds 1 and 2 ?

Thank you Coach K. I said it a while back in another thread, why hide your name. Be a man and put your name to your words. I completely agree with you. I put in hours just looking up info for my upcoming duals and tournaments so multiply that times 100 and thats your extra work. It is much appreciated and noticed.

You must be talking about the D2 schools out in chatt because in memphis we don't have those priviledges. My school last year finally put our matches on the intercom for students to come out and watch us. We as a team through fees have singlets whenever we feel we need new ones(which is every several years). We have had one match for years and still have our original mat from back in the day. So funding isn't the issue. Our parents pay to get in and for food and we still have to do all the things public school kids do after a match or tournament. Our coaches pride us on humility and simpleness. I may not know all my stats, but i was giving you a list of #1 vs #1 matchups to look at. and your listing people outside of the D2 top 2 or 3 that have little to no experience.

to show some statistics here are some results: 106- Elijah Oliver dec. Debian 7-1 113- Jacob Stevens dec. John David Santi 5-0 126- Robinson pinned Deckleman(Robinson is #2 behind Z. Watson) 132- Brandon Brunner transfered to a D2 school and still has had success at BIGGER tournaments 145- Baker lost to T. Smith then came back the next day to PIN him. Marchetti dec. T. Smith 160- Hooker dec. Newburg 5-1 195- Ricky Fisher dec. Ervin 8-4 A little of the little guys, middle guys, and large guys.

C EXCEPT for the fact that D2 goes to national tournaments and places at them with consistancy. and look at this past weekend. D2 beats a nationally ranked D1 guy 5-1 and D2 isnt ranked nationally at all.. lets talk... CBHS goes to KC and places 6th ahead of teams in the top 50. Father ryan goes to Moeller Duals and wrestles top teams.. Where are you going and placing at national tournaments?...

then let people wrestle and let their records talk for them and don't worry about someone else's opinion...

Whoa there cool cat.. There is a pretty equall consistancy of missing people on both ends. Brays idea of D2 rankings are way off because he left out people who are undefeated and beat people who are ranked 3rd and 4th and put some random people in for 5th and 6th. Both guys only get to see so much wrestling in a week/weekend and they go off what they see and hear so don't go bashing Hammonds, Bosken, and House. Its all opinionated with an influence by stats.

from the address on cbhs's website to the heart of the lindenwood is right at 312 miles but the location of the tourny is under 300 miles.

single elimination? so no 3rd or 4th?

that is what i was told by a pretty accurate source. But last year and they year before that it was a one day was it not? I believe it snowed and since you can't host anything when school is canceled it got postponed.

is this tournament a one day dual then 2nd day individual layout?

as long as the use wrestling mats with the same limits such as reseting in the guard when they go out or off the mat. Refs would still have to stop the "match" to ensure the safety but to score would be hard to decide on what deserves what and having multiple judges that know criteria wil take time to develop. BUT it can be done. as for participation... there are more kids willing to choke someone out that to wrestle..
