Why isn’t Jake Defonce ranked above O’Dell? He beat him from what I saw, correct? Unless the scores were not put in correctly.

He's been 106 his whole career. Last year 3rd at opens and 5th at new englands, I think he's beaten a few good guys. Including both ahead of him.

I noticed you moved Dan Charron to #3. Just wondering why not higher? He beat Rappuano 14-5 at opens last year and beat Breault 8-3 at M's

Lots of people beat rapuano last year but apparently he is a much better wrestler this year. Just because Charon drops a weight doesn’t mean he is number 1 haha. I’m seriously laughing at this! He is a good wrestler but relax let him wrestle some kids and show how he fits into this class. I think moving him to 3 is a premature move in my very humble opinion.

@sweep the leg! Rapuano did get a lot better and bigger. he was only a 100 pound freshman last year.

@justafan that’s what I thought. It seems to happen to a good amount of young kids just coming in to HS. These lower weight classes are really going to be exciting to watch over the next few weeks. I really like the competition in the 120lb class also!

Dan Charron was at 106 today at GHO. Should most likely move to #1 in state rankings

Yes I agree with you . Longo, and Lindner have a long history, as do O’Dell and Longo as practice partners with Hamilton as well at Beast. Defonce has wrestled all of them many times usually falling short of the win at least against Longo and Lindner. In my opinion the only reason O’Dell and Longo’s matches were somewhat close is because they were practice partners but from what I’m aware of he has yet to defeat Longo. I guess that’s the same with Defonce and O’Dell being practice partners. I saw that Thompson and Longo have 2 match ups coming up in the next few weeks ( colter abbey and ct challenge) so we will see what happens there , but I would bet the outcome may be different than the last match now that Mike knows what to expect. It’s always tough being a freshman wrestling juniors and seniors who you’ve never seen before. Earthed way we are getting into the heart of the gauntlet and we will see who rises to the occasion and who drops down. Some of these kids feed off of the pressure while some can’t handle it and drop down.

Ok, to me head to head and winning is a much better indicator of rankings and who’s the tougher wrestler. Wrestling partner at practice or not he still won in a head to head live match. Anyone who knows wrestling jimmy may beat Timmy , and Timmy may beat Billy, but that doesn’t mean Jimmy is going to beat Billy. In my opinion head to head is a true way to look at ranking. So with O’Dell finishing in a tournament higher than defonce to me only means that he got put on the easier side of the bracket and Jake had to wrestle the champion before O’Dell had to. Understand what I’m saying?

@Run.the.Pipes Longo wrestled O’Dell, and Defonce tonight and defeated them both So I guess there’s your head to head matches.

@sweep the leg! No surprise to me on the results from last night. typical longo/o'dell match. They will most likely see each other 2/3 more times this year. In most cases, it's hard to beat a guy multiple times a season when it is close, however it just seems like Longo has O'dell number. Trumbull wrestled well in the 50/50 matches last night, Danbury won where they were supposed too.

Defonce did beat O'dell 5-3 at the Plainville Tournament at the start of the season. Although Defonce wrestles for Abott, he practices and trains with Danbury High school and has trained with O'dell for a number of years. Defonce has the head to head win, and o'dell has placed higher then him in both the Danbury holiday and SWAT Maine tournament.

Ohh snap! Rapuano just beat gods gift to wrestling! So according to the O’Dell theory he must now be ranked best in the universe!!!!!!!!!!!!! All hail Rapuano! Rapuano for president! Or does that not count because he’s not Danbury?..................hmmmmmmmmmmm don’t worry they will just duck him from now on anyways!
