Men's Knockout Pre-Seeds and Media Guide

2024 Men’s Knockout Media Guide

Pre-Seeds:

Oh the joy of trying to figure out seeds. Fortunately this is my own venture into what I think should be the pre-seeds for the event. I based it on returning State Champs and Placers, returning Knockout Champs and Placers, and head-to-head matchups (where I could find the information … in reality I leaned on Kabra Wrestling and their rankings to help when I couldn’t find results).

NOTE: These are not the events Seeds. These are my thoughts on who should be seeded where … they might be very close to what the Knockout Staff are thinking or they could use different criteria … or know something I don’t and as a result have different seeds. In reality it doesn’t matter until everyone is weighed-in.

We have pre-seeded the top 12 … in some cases it was very difficult to narrow it to 12. Take 120 lbs. … the weight is exceptionally deep and that means some very good wrestlers are not included in the top 12. Take this with a grain of salt - the Knockout staff does a great job of getting the seeds correct (two years ago - the Knockout was seeded better (based on seeding error) than the Ironman, the NCAA Division 1 Tournament, and other top events). I’ll be interested to see how close my pre-seeds are similar to the eventual seeds.

Pre-Seeds:

Oh the joy of trying to figure out seeds. Fortunately this is my own venture into what I think should be the pre-seeds for the event. I based it on returning State Champs and Placers, returning Knockout Champs and Placers, and head-to-head matchups (where I could find the information … in reality I leaned on Kabra Wrestling and their rankings to help when I couldn’t find results).

These are my thoughts on who should be seeded where … they might be very close to what the Knockout Staff are thinking or they could use different criteria … or know something I don’t and as a result have different seeds. In reality it doesn’t matter until everyone is weighed-in.

We have pre-seeded the top 8 … in some cases (like at 100 lbs.) that was very difficult because there are at least 8 wrestlers from #6 to #14 that you could make a case for their seed being different (in some cases Wrestler A beat Wrestler B, but lost to Wrestler C - who then lost to Wrestler B and so on).

Women's Top 25 in the SE - December 3rd

Tons of action around the SE on the girls side. Have an opinion about a team that should be ranked? Send us an email.

Cleveland is the #3 team in the country according to the November 26th flowrestling, USA Wrestling, and NWHOF Rankings. They return a ton of hammers and come in as our #1 team in the Southeast. Flagler Palm Coast, Hernando, and Orlando Freedom battled it out at the 1st Annual Flagler Rotary Tournament with FPC taking the title, but in a very close team race … as a result they are #2 with Hernando #3 and Freedom moving from #13 to the top 10 at #9 this week. Expect more fireworks when a bunch of those teams get together at Let Freedom Ring this weekend as well #14 Riverdale (FL), #18 Osceola, and #24 Sunlake … (South Dade - #7 in our poll - has both HTown Throwdown and Let Freedom Ring on their schedule - so we will see where they end up this weekend as well).

Lady Panther Brawl at Brookwood looks like the place to be in Alabama with #10 Thompson, #11 Daphne, as well as #17 Central Phenix City and others on hand. Creekview Invitational welcomes #4 Lumpkin County, Gilmer and Greenbrier to one of the best tournaments on the girls side in Georgia this weekend. The Girls Swiss Bear Classic at New Bern is scheduled to have #23 Havelock, HM Laney, as well as bunch of other top North Carolina teams. The final tournament to watch this weekend is the Beat Down in the Mountains at Heritage High School in Tennessee. #7 West Creek, #18 Clarksville, #25 Bradley Central, as well as Science Hill and others will be there to battle it out for the title.
