Some of you might remember the days when our website, IdahoWrestlingNews.com, was the place to go for high school wrestling information in Idaho. It got to be too much to run both websites every winter, so unfortunately we had to pack it in. TrackWrestling.com coming on the scene at around the same time and they do a great job of dual and tournament coverage.
Even though we aren't bringing back (yet) the old IWN and all it's glory, we thought it was time to give wrestling fans what they want most - individual rankings. We reached out to Idaho's high school wrestling experts and put together a new Rankings Crew. These guys work hard to keep up on all the action from around the state. We'll be kicking out weekly rankings until we get to the state tournament at the end of February.
Appreciate the time and effort from those involved with putting these together. Thanks!
I sure hope the hall of fame matches come back. Any idea on that?
Nominations were announced. Not sure where exactly, only heard of a few kids who did make it in.
Just wondering how this is working?? 4a seems to be a tad bit southern leaning when it comes to Team rankings and such. Napa is still ranked number 2 and they lost to Lakeland not once but twice in one week. Also Lakeland was not at full strength. So how do you stay at that ranking when you lost head to head in 2 duels.
I agree on Lakeland, I have them at 3. I am basing my team rankings on how I think the teams will finish at the State Tourney in each Classificaion. The way 5A is set up this year helps teams like Lake City and Highland, they will probably have a couple high placers but will score with a lot of points with 4th-6th placers. Whereas, if there was one division either of those teams would be away from placing. I don't see this as the case for Lakeland, seems they would be competitive in a one division state wide tourney and are getting snubbed in these 4A Rankings.
Very happy the rankings are back out!
