The KWCA only endorses the Class by Class Rankings, which are composed by a KWCA elected ranking coordinator. The KWCA rankings will be released to the public at various times during the wrestling season.


Nobody outside of Norton County and maybe a few others where there are more deer than people know Eric "Norton" Johnson so this isn't really an issue. Eric "Chief Renegade" Johnson is also the official KWCA ranker for 5A and 6A.

Why do you use terminology like "so called"? That, to me, is offensive. Eric researches and seeks feedback from wrestlers, parents, coaches, and fans. It isn't rocket science. It is just gathering of data and assembling the wrestlers in a logical order. Where the data is stronger the support for the rankings is greater. Eric "The Chief" Johnson's rankings are really not "his" opinion but the collaborative interpretation of actual results.

One question Billy, Are the KWCA rankings REAL or are they "So called" as well?

I did not mean to say that Eric has not put a great deal of time into the All-Class rankings. I was simply stating a fact that the KWCA does not endorse the All-Class rankings at this time. They do however support the Class by Class Rankings.

WE should have an All Star Dual with Eric Johnson coaching against Eric Johnson. We can have it promote Kansas Wrestling scholarship opportunities and be sponsored by Johnson and Johnson!
