Pre-Tournament District Rankins

[IrishPollack]

I have taken into account some of the input I received from several posters. These rankings are not district seating predictions, but rather end-of-year rankings based on head-to-head, common opponent, and/or my patented "IrishPollack" algorithm.

I did put Almond over Via due to his recent victory at the Monticello tournament. Almond was in control the entire match and won by 8.

Zach Ryder soundly defeated Ntenda this year 10-2.

I changed several ranking based on Coach K's recommendation(s).

[IrishPollack]

If Fitzwater is out at 152 the guy to take that 4th spot would be Clarence Rogers.

So it would be:

152 Key Wins
1 Kephra Davis Louisa beat: Rafferty (OR), Fitzwater (WA), Nissen (CH)
2 Sean Rafferty Orange beat: Nissen (CH)
3 Eric Nissen Charlottesville beat: Parks (FL), Rogers (WM), Fitzwater (WA)
4 Clarence Rogers William Monroe beat: Parks (FL), Golden (FL)

Little confused on 130

Brown(monticello pinned Bennington(L)
Brown beat Fluvanna(2 times)both pins I think
Brown beat WAHS (2 times)

Name isn't even mentioned

[IrishPollack]

I see the victory over Bennington.

Did he beat Jed Harris (Fluvanna) twice?
Did he beat Quenton Goodbar (W. Albemarle) twice?

I just don't see a lot of results for him online. Can anyone confirm who he beat?

[Coach K]

You could place Almond ahead of Via and Ryder ahead of Ntenda in rankings but in terms of District seeds, it's Via and Ntenda. I don't see any sound favorites between these four. I am pretty sure that Ryder only beat Ntenda by 2 points. 152 should be fun to watch as well if Fitzwater is back.

[IrishPollack]

I agree, there should be some exciting matchups.

103
Justin Zimmerman - has to have a major meltdown to lose.

112
Perrin Mills - has been dominant, should win.

119
Josh Scharf - No one here can challenge Scharf. It is a race for second, third, and fourth.

125
? - Not familiar with this race, but Coach K backed Bisecker. I am thinking this one is up for grabs.

130 - Coleman has been suprisingly good this year. It could be competitive in the finals.

135 - Mike Benner is the clear favorite. I don't see anyone in district beating him.

140
Via vs. Almond - I watched Almond beat Via last weekend by 8 points. I am not sure what will change this weekend, but they are both accomplished wrestlers.

145
Ryder vs. Ntenda - should be good. Ryder defeated him soundly I thought in the Madison duals, but I may be wrong.

152
Rafferty vs. Davis - I didn't see the district match, but it was recorded as Davis over Rafferty 3-0. Should be a close one.

160
Christian Chirico - is in a class of his own here. It is a race for second, third, and fourth.

171
I think 171 is one of the more stacked classes in the district. Nave has beaten everyone in the district and then some. He is the favorite, but will need to wrestle well to defeat a tough wrestler in Weiner.

189
Logan Walls vs. Kai Shin - Can Walls evade the throw and overpower Shin on takedowns? This should be one of the better matchups.

Who can fill in 215 and HWT?

Has 103 Isaiah Colemon of Orange looking to compete at first or struggling to stay at second seed.
