That's crazy, Have you lost your mind?

On a serious note, the rankings are a great way to get people excited about our sport. For example, we have a fairly large and fairly well-known dual tournament in Colby in December. One of the ways we advertise and "sell" our tournament to people around town is by saying how many ranked wrestlers will be attending and how many top 10 ranked teams will be competing. It really gets the people excited about the tourney and people will attend to see the #1 ranked guy in 4A wrestle the #1 ranked guy in 5A or to see a ranked Kansas guy wrestle a ranked Colorado guy. The "all-class" ranking will only add to that excitement!

Now you're talking Bill. We could call it the State tournament!

The rankings are easy. Just rank the Beloit wrestlers 1st in all weights classes.

Could I do that with Clay Center for 4A?

We'll get one out next week. I know that the Prairie Museum of Art and History doesn't draw the crowds to town like Colby's tournament does, so we will help you as much as possible.

4A Coaches, go ahead and start listing your horses
