This one seems like it’s right down the alley for SnapOn’s insight.

You can go to the following website and see the top five for free in each State at each weight class. It’s not 100% but it’s damn close.

http://rankwrestlers.com/state.php?state=GA

The year subscription is only $10.

It is a good tool to use and it actually is pretty well ranked if coaches input their wrestler’s results into Track. Only thing that would make it better is if it did a cumulative top 5 ranking for the entire state identified in the filter map.

You can do that per weight class by going to “Class Ranking” and choosing “All Classifications and pick a weight. It will Generate the Top 100.

Now by this next week, then once the databases catch up with where kids moved up and down (mostly down), we should use that feature to pull the top five rankings. After yesterday’s area championships, the sectional brackets will reveal who moved where to finish the season. I’m sure that the top level kids that everyone knows will stay put and they also likely lead those weight rankings already. This should be a fun weekend coming up of sectional matchups all over the state.

*145 and 132 absolutely loaded
*120, 126 and 145 were the toughest for me to rank
*I get it that DiSilva has beaten Wilder, I also know that McDaniel beat DiSilva.

4. Wilder
5. Smith
*All i will say, can someone for the love of all that is logical give this kid (desilva) his due.*

[Anonymous]

*DeSilva and Darracot are interchangeable at 2/3….145 is stacked tho*

Lucas gets much love. Great wrestler. I my not sure that 1-5 would stay the same if they wrestled each other a few times. With that being said, I think Charlie beats Gabe. I think Wilder beats Gabe. It’s not out of the question, especially after watching their OT match to think that Rayden could beat Lucas in a rematch. As far as giving kids credit, I’m going to give the 2xer the benefit of the doubt.

Solid job on this ranking- thanks! You did better than I could/would have done- but there were for sure a few issues. Regardless, this is all just a fairy tale dream UNTIL we demand some type of formal -or informal- tournament with or without GHSA’s blessing.

What about an old-school “WrestleFest” tournament held with real refs at a local club or school, jack the price of door admission up to $15 or $20 per head and it will be standing room only. The wrestlers, parents and some coaches would want this. Some coaches, parents, and maybe even less confident wrestlers maybe would not want this – as some seem to shirk competition not realizing “iron sharpens iron” . This would not mean anything -until GHSA comes around – but bragging rights to find out who the cream of the crop truly is in each weight throughout GA Wrestling. Hold it the following weekend after State – give another +2/+3 across the board weight allowance- whatever- and all wrestlers have to wrestle in the weight bracket they did at Individual state. Just a thought! Take the Top 3 or 4 in each class and throw them in an unseeded random draw bracket – let’s get it on!

How can we make this happen? California only has (1) true State Champ – anyone placing in Top 12 in Cali has accomplished something. The wrestling mecca of the USA in PA has only (2) Champs – much respect to both. The wrestlers have accomplished something. Here in GA it is water downed at best as GA has freaking (7) State Champs in each weight class – that’s atrocious and not helping the state move forward and progress in the right direction for this sport! IS this so more could claim victory and make themselves feel better? Pompous and unrealistic.

If this does not happen call the title that the wrestlers will win exactly what it is- State Champion of a Specific Classification at a certain weight – NOt a true State Champ as perception understands it to be.

Highlander said it best, “There can be only one!”

PS. This same idea here should/could apply for a post on a Super Tournament for the GA Team Dual True Champs. Only 14 wrestlers on a roster and one each in every weight – no matter how big or small the school is. Do it! Do it! Do it!

Great concept. Like you, I love the idea. Unfortunately, many of our state placers would not participate in this. Jason will chime in here any minute telling you we have this tournament every may :).
