The state series has arrived, and with it, the last regular season week of Rob Sherrill’s Illinois Matmen rankings. From here on in, it is qualify, qualify, podium. Of course, it is never that simple. However, for now, before all the wrestling and whistles and buzzers and challenges and victories and celebrations and chants and congratulations, here are this week’s rankings.
And remember, be sure to take some time and appreciate the moments along the way, this time of year is always special. Good luck to everyone!
