Rankings Input/Help/Suggestions
As we prepare the pre-season
rankings, we realize there are many opinions on who can do what.
We appreciate all the help we can get and look forward to receiving
it. However, only half of the emails were worth reading. Some
are not credible and have to be deleted.
We would like coaches, wrestlers, and
fans to help us develop rankings. We
need people from different areas all over the state to help
compile information from their respective areas to better improve the
rankings. We encourage everyone to do so now and in the future. The
Individual rankings are based on a number of criteria that includes:
previous results, off season wrestling, and recommendations.

Editors Note: Below is just a
heads up to those wishing to send help regarding rankings and
would like their material considered seriously.. Don't be
offended. Thanks! (I think some of it is pretty funny!) In the
past, only half of the emails were worth reading. Some are not credible
and have to be deleted.
Rankings are done at weight wrestlers have wrestled so far, not
weight wrestlers plan on making.
Emails are usually not helpful if
they are similar to the following:
-"How is my kid not ranked, he beat little
Johnny last weekend in Shaker Heights?"
(Perhaps you could inform us whom he
has defeated instead of assuming we know.)
-"How is little Johnny ranked behind little
Tommy when little Johnny beat little Tommy this year?"
(see previous answer)
-"You guys are terrible at rankings"
(really?)
-"Hi,
I was just wondering how often you update the rankings or what the
criteria is to give someone a rank. I am only asking this because
looking at some of the kids that are "ranked", I know of others that
are much better."
(Rankings are done by a group of people that compile emails sent
from the coaches, wrestlers, and fans that have critiqued the past
rankings. Also, our staff continues to look at results and compare
how wrestlers fare against each other.)
-"Smithville
is a much better
dual meet team than Caddyville. Better be ranked this week."
(OK and how are they better? That would really help us a lot, and
is that a threat at the end? ;0) )
-"Little Johnny is a stud, how is he not ranked?"
(OK well, how good is he at wrestling, who has he
defeated, what
tournaments has he won, how is he a stud?)
-"Little Johnny’s cousin Andy is awesome, he would have beat the 1st
ranked guy had he not been hurt, and he would have beat the 2nd
ranked guy had he not had gotten caught, and he would have beat the
3rd ranked guy had time not expired, and he would have
beat the 4th ranked guy had the ref not screwed him
over."
(Excuses are non credible, so don’t bother.)
-"Please take my kid off of the rankings, he hasn’t proven himself."
(Sorry but your kid is good, real good)
