There are some tough calls Curtis. I have tried to be consistent with what I call the "Ruiz" rule. When Isaac beat Vesta in the 6A final, he moved up in spite of being 1-8 against Jeff. When they don't meet head to head, the season long body of work takes precedence. That is the main reason for Callahan staying highly ranked. Granted, that reasoning falls apart when I disregard the Ruiz rule and keep Sharky above Sparr. What weighed heavily in my decision was that Cokeley could not beat Sharky or Callahan 15-5. Another thing that was grinding on me was staring at Sharky and Hase at #5 and #6. Sharky is 2-0 against Hase and I just couldn't see ranking them that low. I understand that Sharky beat Cokeley last week 8-5, but a State Championship carries criteria weight also. You will notice that I applied the Ruiz rule at 140 and 152.
