Kabra+: Girls Rankings (Updated 2/12)
BY BRANT PARSONS — The girls districts have been competed and the rankings have been shuffled.
From this point on, only girls who are competing in the postseason will be ranked. Those underclassmen who were ranked and did not compete because of injury or other reasons will return to the rankings after the state tournament with the “Way Too Early Rankings” once I confirm their reason for not competing.
There was a lot to process this week with so much action taking place on the mats so we may have missed a prior result or two in the rankings. If you have changes you’d like me to consider, please contact me.
These rankings will become final on Sunday afternoon when we begin putting together our massive region previews. You won’t want to miss those!
The Rankings
We want to have the best rankings possible and we thank everybody who provides information for the assistance and support.
As always, if you know of any corrections, pertinent results, and anything else can be sent to me at brant@kabrawrestling.com.
A few other things about my rankings. For each set of rankings, I rank what I feel are the 20 best wrestlers at each weight class in each class. This means that there are times where a school may have more than two wrestlers ranked in a weight class if they have produced results worthy of being ranked. This does change come the postseason as the rankings then only reflect those in the postseason for each school at each weight.
If a coach has made me aware of which weight class each wrestler might end up in, I will take that into consideration, but I don’t try to guess a coach’s plan.
While these rankings can be used as a guide to who could make the state tournament, they aren’t a prediction for the state tournament. They are simply a snapshot of who I think are the best 20 wrestlers at that moment in the weight class no matter team or region.
There are multiple factors that go into the rankings, including but not limited to: Head-to-head meetings, like victories and defeats, comparative performances, eye tests and recommendations from an unofficial panel of voices that I listen to.
There is no exact science to these rankings, but I believe over my years of doing it, I’ve developed an accurate and respected rankings system.
Thank you for your continued support.
