Here they are. The first preseason statewide all class (public and private schools) rankings. We have a tie at 189 and although I think it’s just a little crazy, we’re going to roll with it. Once we have more info on the exact weight classes everyone will be we’ll do a revised ranking. At the end is the all inclusive top-ten statewide tournament rankings.

In the latest issue of Wrestling USA Magazine for the “Junior” class, at 189 Ben Grisz is ranked 15th and Robert Prigmore is ranked 18th. Also the only match that I know of between the two was at the Cotton Bowl and I beleive Ben was the winner. I am not sure if the two of them have (recently) had any other matches.
