Chase Diehl is a major oversight.  Chase wrestled Reninche to a two or three point match, if I remember correctly.   Chase is attending SIUE in fall on scholarship.  All due respect to the others but Chase should be top 4.

Kramer is going to Lindenwood with his brother.

 

Its hard to have a top ten list and not include Chittum on this

I wish only the best for Chittum but I am only listing the kids wrestling for Tennessee high schools.  We have other kids at out of state prep schools that are not being listed.

Lundy hasn't proven he belongs in the list--he has never placed in our state.  No way he is ahead of some wrestlers such as Diehl, Fowler, Williams, Knight, Taylor.  I would even be hesitant to add McDaniels.  Sure he has some impressive Freestyle and Greco accomplishments but he doesn't even hold a gold state medal.

Lundy wrestled pace to a really close match. plus a Tennessee gold medal don’t mean to much doing good a big out of state tournaments mean more to me. And he smacked fields Tennessee High pre season

Thanks Mrs. Lundy. 

I don't see Fields anywhere on the list.  I am not sure why he is your measuring stick.  I don't think a preseason win over a one time medalist/champ is enough to propel someone without a state medal into the P4P rankings.  Also, I'm not sure I consider 8-4 a "really close match."  But since you mentioned it, please do tell the "big out of state tournaments" Lundy has won.  Was it the Knockout Christmas Classic?  No, that's not it, he was 2-2 there.  Was it McCallie?  No he was 3rd there.  Sorry but its hard for me to see what you see without some gold medals on the wall.

Not sure about who all should be on this list, but there appears to be one glaring omission.

 

Skylar Coffey.. Brentwood 220. 40 something and 1 with all but 3 being pins.

Don't get me wrong. I have known the Coffey's for many many years. I coached Nick in middle school and wrestled against Courtney in high school. But Skylar is not anywhere near these names. Personally, I don't think he's even the best 220 in Brentwood.

How can a wrestler be ranked ahead of another on this list when the lower ranked wrestler beat the higher ranked wrestler.  I am talking about Whitworth not being ranked high enough.
