I would like to see an attempt to rank the top 8 in all 14 weight classes in all 6 divisions. That many names would”sell a lot of local papers” and be relevant to the State Traditional tournament. It would require some journalistic research and polling….just guessing team winners for a traditional tournament leaves some folks out in the cold that may have a good wrestler or two.
