National Rankings Dec. 25th, 2023

Big weekend of action with Beast, MatBoss Christmas Classic, and others around the country.

I wanted to wait until after the HOF Duals to update. And we got some good results from there. 

The other event of note was the Knockout Christmas Classic in Florida.

Now that we’re into the season, Valiant Prep kids fall out. Also holding guys out until they compete.

Biggest results were Zepeda and Hopke losing. Biggest climber, Joe Toscano (144) from Buchanan.
