    2018 State Finals By the Numbers

    Overall

    Rankings are always a heated debate amongst wrestling fans. Over the years we have always locked our rankings before sectional and let them ride throughout the state series. Every year we lose kids due to unforseen circumstances and even the death draws at semi-state. However, they always prove to be quite accurate. This year we had the most ranked wrestlers in 179 or just under 80% in our final rankings. Here is a breakdown by weight and highlight matches to watch on Friday night.

    My goal every year is to get all 16 at a weight before the sectional. 

    Mike, you do a great job every year with the rankings and it will always be difficult to get all 16 because the talent is not usually balanced at all semi-states.  I would venture to say however, that I bet most of the unranked guys that make it to state every year were on your radar.

    Thank you so much. A handful of the guys who qualified were in the pre season mag and a lot were on the watchlist. There are a few who were not

    If we had wrestlebacks,  his ranked wrestlers qualifying for state would be over 90%.  I think those death draws is where he loses a lot of them.

    possibly and coaches reporting results would help
