Countdown to the Brooke Classic

[aaacoach33]

The funny thing is... Zach doesn't care that he's not ranked. I believe he gets snubbed because he doesn't go to all these other tournaments, but that's because his focus is on football. Let that sink in a little bit... he focuses on football and is still this good at wrestling. Zach is a great kid and as humble as anyone with such talent that you'll ever meet. Everyone needs to stop worrying or feeling bad that he's not ranked this or that. Zach knows how good he is. His coaches and teammates know how good he is... and I guarantee his opponents know how good he is. Can't wait to watch another Polar Bear on the field at WVU next season.

No question about it....I doubt anybody in WV would disagree with any of that. It’s more a reflection on the ranking pundits...Zach beat Haga last year who was ranked and Zach just beat this kid last weekend 5-0 and he is ranked around 12th...I would think, when they are doing their research during the rankings each time, when they rank a kid nationally and see his record only has 1 or 2 losses, I would think they would take a moment and investigate who they got beat by and then see where that leads them. I get it, Zach does Zach as he should...it is and always has been great watching home grown WV talent grow and see what they can do at the next level and beyond in whatever they choose to do..Zach, JMB, Amos, Hall, etc. etc.
