By these rankings you can tell how far ky has really come.
Jarvis and Diante Wright are expected to sign with Campbellsville this week.
I was disappointed that Anthony Bailey wasn't mentioned with the heavy weights. He has amazing speed and strength for a big guy, what a fun kid to watch.
I'm confused as to how Justin Davis can be ranked below Dusty Brown when it says that the 1'st criteria is accomplishments made at the state tournament
That is only the 1st criteria. It does not say that it was the highest or most important criteria. My guess would be that Brown has been at more tournaments than Davis. Therefore giving him more notoriety.
IE. If you have a wrestler that was a national champion won the Beast of the East yet was defeated at his state tourney. I'm sure that he would still be ranked above that individual that defeated him at his state tourney.
One match does not always prove the better wrestler.

Yeah, i can see your point. JD really does need to get to some more major national tournaments. He would've done well at junior nationals. Theres just not enough support at Eastern to get our guys out there )=
Eagle wrester,
It's quite simple. Dusty was reached All American status at High school nationals. Davis did not. I have said this a million times. In order for KY wrestlers to be ranked nationally, they need to place at nationals or equivalent tournaments such as the Beast of the East or the Ironman, Fargo etc.

Umm yeah, I acknowledged that. Read my above post
its really good to see so many of us ranked nationally
I wish someone would tell them that Harrison Courtney is Woodford and not from Harrison co.
I emailed Dan Fickel about it. He said he would fix it.
