backtothemat Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Any of these teams dualing soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio Jr. Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A lot of them will dual in a couple weeks at the IHSWCA Team State Championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Paw Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Can someone explain how Bloomington South is ranked ahead of Castle? Castle won a head-to-head dual 46-19 against Bloomington South on 12/13. Castle's only loss thus far is to #1 Mater Dei. Mater Dei also handed a loss to BS that day so BS has at least two dual losses to Castle's 1. I believe Schermer was out against Castle, but I don't recall any situations where 1 bout could change a 27 point deficit. backtothemat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backtothemat Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Not sure. They are IHSWCA rankings not Indiana Mat though. Y2CJ41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldwrestler Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Are these based on scoring at individual state or team strength in dual matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewsz7 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 im pretty sure L.N. beat Yorktown recently also, so don't really see them @ #7 & #15, possible adjustments pending??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio Jr. Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The voting coaches need to take the time to review results it's that simple rdrodd1, SouthernIndianaVoice and littlevito 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlevito Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It is hard to take the IHSWCA rankings seriously. I still wonder why they do it, when most coaches have no clue what goes on outside the top handful of programs in the state. Decbell1 does an outstanding job with the IndianaMat rankings, and I've seen the countless time he puts into the rankings. Maybe the IHSWCA can really put focus into their invitational and their relationship with the IHSAA, and the quit having coaches try and vote in the best friends club.

decbell1 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The next rankings will come out in conjunction with the release of the draw for the State Duals. Releasing them now would make the draw a bit boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleB Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I vote for IHSWCA and take it very seriously. I usually submit at last second bc im haggling over last few spots. Ive had Castle ahead of Bloomington in every ranking. I actually passed on the last ranking bc I didnt have the time I needed to research. Dog on it all you want buts a heck of a lot more accurate than 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
