Now here goes, a friend of one of the Ponderosa Dad's and wrestler, Zeke, and friends and sometimes coach of some of the Goddard wrestlers, and while a rival, a great deal of respect for their coaches, fans, and wrestlers. Here are my thoughts, and will be short,
#1 Both teams deserved to be ranked.
#2 I wouldn't be concerned about any single ranking service, there are many out there, and AWN is to say the least, the most controversial of the rankings services.
#3 No good team with a tough schedule, and tough practice room is ever at "full strength," they are always losing someone for all kinds of reasons. You know what they say about excuses, except the fact that a team, includes the back ups and sometimes that is what you have to go with.
#4 Congrats to both teams, very strong, both deserving of respect, and again, both deserving of a national ranking. Maybe with more respect for both Colorado and Kansas they will some day get it.
