(A) Rankings (Pre-Sectionals)

[cowcatcherII]

Well guys, I got a new job which is exciting, but I forgot my password, and couldn't get a new one sent to my old work email, so I am back under cowcatcherII, but yes it's still me! You know that I love following the small school division so I wanted to take a stab at publishing my own set of rankings for the division. I spent most of the weekend looking at Track Wrestling results and taking notes. My rankings consider head to head, common opponents, overall record including strength of quality wins, and my own opinion. Please know that these are just for fun. I am a fan of the sport and do not want to try to offend anyone. These are not my predictions as to how guys will finish, but simply where I would have them ranked. I would love to continue to do this going forward if the feedback is positive.

I would also love to hear any suggestions you might have to improve these. For instance, I included a top 10 team rankings at the bottom with a points system. There were quite a few weights where guys were on the cusp on making the top 6. I thought about adding a few honorable mentions per weight and those guys would add a point to their team's ranking. Let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy.

106

1. Cole Dyer (Soddy Daisy)

2. Samuel Comes (Seymour)

3. Chris Lagorio (Hixson)

4. Blake Allen (Gibbs)

4. Henry Ribble (Fairview)

5. Charles Duncan (Soddy Daisy)

6. Colton Relation (Samuel Everett School of Innovation)

Again, these are not my predictions, just what I see as a fair ranking based on results. If it were my prediction, I could even see Duncan finishing as high as 2nd.

126

1. Ethan Uhorchuk (Signal Mountain)

2. Andy Cable (Pigeon Forge)

3. Drew Lewis (Soddy Daisy)

4. Jordan Sexton (Halls)

2. Zach Smith (Munford)

3. Malik Boiling (East Nashville Magnet)

4. Evan Dixon (Sycamore)

5. Ronan O'Connell (Page)

6. Landon Brooks (Gibbs)

If we do a point system for the team rankings where 1st = 30pts, 2nd = 25pts, 3rd = 20pts, 4th = 15pts, 5th = 10pts, 6th = 5pts, the team rankings would look like this...

This is the reason I could care less about individual Team state titles(I didn't when i wrestled or coached), so many variables that go into it on who wins. That sectional with Soddy, Signal and PF is really really tough and so not all of those teams will take as many as a team like Halls but also those teams like PF, Soddy and Signal will have a lot of champs and RU. I mean Ethan U. and Andy Cable have to wrestle each other this weekend and most likely in the state finals also.  I agree with most of yours except 120. I guess it depends a lot on who gets placed where, but Cook is not even close to Turner or Ribble and was getting crap kicked out of him by Duncan before Duncan screwed up. I think its Carson-1st, Turner-2nd, Ribble-3rd, Duncan-4th, with Cook-5th.

I agree with this. Turner is a beast and has endurance like no other. Turner beat Ribble 3-1 but I believe he would beat him 9-10 times. Turner has beat several top guys in several weight classes. He is a dog.
