2019-20 High School Rankings

152

Dalton Harkins (PA) had an incredible run at Ironman to jump to #3. He backed up that performance with a Beast of the East title, but fell in a close on at Powerade to Brayden Roberts (WV). He settled in at the #6 spot.

Ed Scott is up from 145lbs and was dominant at Powerade earning him the #5 ranking up at 152lbs.

We felt we had Maxx Mayfield (NE) a bit too low when we moved him to the weight class in the last set of rankings and adjusted him up the rankings. He had a few resume wins at Fargo that should have put him in the high spot two weeks ago.

Watch for Matt Singleton (GA) at Doc B this weekend as he is down to the weight from 160lbs, where he won a Knockout Christmas Classic title.

Injuries are part of the sport, and a slippery slope for rankers. Sometimes wrestlers are taken out of the rankings for known injuries that are going to keep them out of action for a prolonged period, and sometimes wrestlers are left in the rankings. To make it clear for anyone tracking the high school rankings, we will be pulling wrestlers that have not wrestled yet this season by the conclusion of the January 11th tournaments. Some wrestlers that have teammates that are in consideration for ranking spots have already been pulled from the rankings, and will be inserted back into the pool when they resume competition. This often happens with a weight class change. We want consistency, and the current wrestlers to be active to give a fair representation of the wrestling that is taking place at each weight class.

Doc Buchanan,  Geary, The Gut Check, The Clash and 5Counties headline the upcoming schedule.
