I can almost gaurantee Meiman won't be at 168. He's wrestling varsity 152 for Ryle. I hear Emerson is having a great year, but I think Johnny would be the favorite there.

With me being new here. Can anyone tell me off the kids on the list from 86 to 105, which ones aren't eighth graders?

86lbs

Wells 7th

Kraezig 6th

Chaffee 7th

92lbs

Gray 6th

Smith 6th

98lbs

Floyd 6th

I believe the rest are 8th graders

98 lb Oxford is a seventh grader, his brother is the eigth grader think it 138

Sheffer at 86 is 7th grader

I think that Emerson has more technique than meiman

Spencer Jacobs( Fern Creek) will be tough at 98.

Didn't Wiley Break his hand, and won't he be out for Districts? How does that change 98?

I noticed he was listed at 152 on the high school rankings also, kinda funny that Ranger made both lists. Just pokin fun Ranger, thanks and keep up the good work. Anyone else know of any kids not on the list who might make a good showing and are having a good season so far.

I know Meiman wrestled at 168 for middle school so far and i thought it might be better for the team if he stayed there. Haven't heard from the raiders directly to know for sure.

Good Point...always thinking aren't ya Ranger

Good Point...always thinking aren't ya Ranger

Don't know about always, but I try.

Well done Ranger. Looks pretty good from what I've seen this season so far. You only had 2 wrestlers mentioned at 152. I think Casey Cornett from Turkey Foot should be mentioned at 152. He is 1-1 against Anderson from Elkhorn who deservedly is on the list. He also lost to a kid from Hopkinsville at the Woodford County Invitational who was a stud. Not sure of his name, but he should be on the list too.

Meiman will walk through 152 in middle school. Kid is too good. Starts for varsity. He beats out like 4 kids in high school for that weight. Mark my words...

Diion Leavell from Christian Co. at 105 is a 6th grader

What is the criteria for Coach of the Year? Any ideas as to who may win this award?

Generally it is the coach of the team that wins the overall. I don't think coaches put much thought into it. Personally, I voted for Joe Burroughs last year. He did an amazing job with that group of boys down at North Hardin and teaches them about so much more than just wrestling.

Thank you for this info.

HardWorkPays...

Any truth to this. I certainly hope this is not the case. I would think with a broken hand he might be able to wrestle districts depending on when it happened. I believe John Belk wrestled with a broken hand at state the year before last.

At 80 lbs, look at Dodd (Wayne County) & Mattox (Harrison County). Both were in the 70lb class at state last year. Very good wrestlers!!!

Ranger,

The 113 from Shamrock wrestling looked polished at the Harrison County Tournament last week.

Ben Barton is Shamrocks 113.

He has only one loss this yr. by 2 points to Heirdorf (N Oldham). He has also beat Hudson once this yr .

Not sure if Coach Carr will let Tucker Burst compete with the middle school team. He is WCHS varsity guy, and right now, I'm sure they need him. Anyone have an inside track on this?

Tucker hurst is wrestling high school

The fact that he's wrestling High School has been established. Does anyone know if the coach will allow him to compete for his Middle School?

Looks like there is a possibility Derek may get cleared to wrestle for Districts. Evidently this happened about a month ago.

The hand is broke and has been broke since early December. They will see their doctor on Friday to see if it will need to be recast. Regardless Wiley will still wrestle come districts, but I expect him to get far enough to advance then forfiet on out. Survive and Advance will be the name of the game the next three weeks. Hopefully by the time state rolls around he will be all good to go.

I hope he can get back by Districts! He is such a good kid and a great wrestler as well.

Robert smith is going 113

Jackson oxford is going 130

Both for union

Smith and Heidorf will be a good match to watch!

It's getting close to district time now, what news is there about any of these guys dropping a class or staying where Ranger has them listed? It has been awful quiet on here the past few days!

Couple surprising changes in District 6.

70- Shay Horton dropped down from 75 to 70 instantly making him a contender to be on the podium at state and makes this districts weight class very tough.

98- Mikey Meyers drops from 105 to 98 making him and Oxford argueably the two best at this weight class.

105- Wiley moves up from 98 to 105 giving the district two of the top kids in the state.

105- Grant Farwick drops down from 113 where he was a contender to 105 giving him a great chance to make the podium at state.

113- Jarod Deason and Sloan McMillan both drop from 121 where they have been very competitive all year. Definently makes this weight class in districts one of the most competitive.

140- Casey Cornett drops from 152 where he was a top contender to 140 making him one of the favorites at this weight class now.

Thats a few noticeable changes from our districts seed meeting.

I heard that Brady Wells dropped to 80. Ryan Moore dropped to 75, and Tanner Yenter dropped to 70. If this is true, this has major impact on the all weight classes affected. Ranger can you confirm this??

I saw Mike Meyers last night at Scott HS for Duals where he wrestled 106. I agree if he drops to 98, he will be contender. However, he looked Big for 106 much less 98. Are you saying he has indeed dropped to 98 and has had matches at that weight? If so, he'll be huge for the weight class.

I think that Derek moving to 105 is a mistake. I think that he is too small for the weight class. I'm a big fan, but if he wants to win a third, I think dropping down would be in his best interest.

Any other changes/surprises to look out for? What about distrcts 1 &2 and 7 & 8?

I dont know if Meyers has wrestled at 98 or not but thats where he was seeded at last night.

I agree Derek is small for the weight class, but I always have felt he has been small for the weight classes, even last year when he wrestling 82. Maybe its just my perception, or my eyes being bad. Either way, the move was more for his future and competition rather than just winning a third title. 105 is going to be the second most competitive weight class in the state behind 86, and although Derek could easily make 98 they dont want to do any cutting at all and focus on him getting bigger for high school competition next year. Plus I was really looking forward to seeing Derek wrestle Meyers, and Logan in the same day. With those three in the same weight class at districts, region, and state; I thought they could go 1,2,3 at each level. Guess we will never know.

HardWork, I respect your opinions and I'm not trying to debate. I just can't wrap my brain around not cutting him down. I saw and spoke to him last night and there's no way he's even 105 much less 107. The line of thinking that cutting him down for 1 month will impact his growth for next year doesn't make since. It's not a huge cut by any stretch. Probably a matter of getting rid of the junk for a couple days would do it. It would have no impact on his growth for next year. Heck...I put 20 plus pounds of muscle on my kid in the off season. Not a big deal. AJ still hasn't decided where he is going. Derek, AJ, Mikey and Oxford would make a nice bracket as well. Would love to see a rematch with AJ. They split last year. But... that's just me being selfish:)

Shay's a little buzz saw...I love that kid. But...making that step to Middle School State is tough mentally.

Where was Erdman seeded at? Is he staying at 105 or did he drop?

Logan will be at 105.

where did meiman end up going? i know ranger thought that ryle would be a stronger team at state if he went 168 instead of 152. i am sure he could win at either weight.

What about little Emerson from Oldham? Ranger has him ranked high at 106 in the high school rankings. Is he going to 105 for middle school? What a bracket at 105 with Erdman, Wiley, Barton, Blanton, Holt and the others Ranger has listed. Not to mention Emerson if he drops. Can't wait!!!

I could see Heiforf, kline and Hurst being at 105 also.

A few quick updates. Been traveling recently and no spare time. Maybe tomorrow night.

HardWorkPays - confirmed. not really much of a drop. they have been weighing in at very close to those weights all season.

If those boys drop, 105 pounds at middle school could be tougher than the high school tournament! Talk about a loaded field.

Ranger- I figured Brady would drop, I heard he was close to 80 all season. Just surprised that Yenter dropped and same with Moore both looked like favorites or contenders at their previous weight class.

Wells weighed in under 83 nearly all season. Moore has been less than 79 all year. Yenter made 75 easily every week after a daily big mac. So the weight wasn't an issue. The drop down allows one of the team's stronger backup wrestlers, McGrath to get into the lineup as a point scorer as well as these boys not give up weight in the post season. Plus, all it takes is one of these guys to drop and then there are 2 studs in the same weight class from the same team. Been there done that too much already.

Oxford at 140

Kline is at 103

Sam Griffith went 2 to 1 with Cooper from summit view he is from Johnson central

Any contenders at 140 from Northern & Eastern Kentucky heading in to State?
