Thought you'd like to know you got some "run" in the Dispatch today.  Now if we can just get 'em to put the same results on their web site that they print in the paper.....

 

 

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH . . . -- One ambitious wrestling fan has created a computer ranking meant to be similar to the one used to determine pairings for the football playoffs and posted the results at ohiowrestlingrankings.homestead.com.

Not surprisingly, Lakewood St. Edward has roughly twice as many points as any other team in the rankings, using results through Jan. 23. DeSales is No. 1 in Division II and Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy is tops in Division III.

Pickerington is fourth in Division I and Dublin Coffman is eighth. In Division III, Grandview -- rated No. 1 in the Dispatch-coaches poll for most of the last month and No. 6 in the most recent state poll -- is 20th, behind Pleasant (seventh), River Valley (10th) and Northmor (19th).

The ratings reportedly are based on a system of primary and secondary points -- which are meant to account for strength of schedule -- gained in dual meets and tournaments.
