so are you ever going to rank anyone? your title is misleading since you are only posting list in alphabetical order and saying your not ranking them but calling it rankings.

WVMAT has their rankings and I look forward to them. Other people will come forward with their rankings as the season progresses. The listing I have been building is just the beginning. Phase 1 is coming this week.

Until then, how about some of you guys sending me some names and weight classes.

I noticed that your weight class placements for Wheeling Park is significantly different from those listed on the OVAC website (OVAeC). You might check with them and compare sources to see who might be more accurate.

I would consider adding the following:
Easton/South/113/placed at state(based on preseason)
&
Fullerton/South/182/STQ(based on OVAeC)
If this weight class is accurate, I would note the following: As a 9th grader I believe he wrestled occasionally at 220 (behind DeLong, Allman, and Wolfe) obviously undersized. As a 10th grader he wrestled at 220 (with DeLong & Allman still in the weights below him) and held his own with some good wrestlers ( eg, Dylan Wood/WP/ losing 3-2 at the OVAC's & 3-1 at states) still markedly under sized. As an 11th grader he was able to move down to 195 (with Dunbar in the weight below him), but still obviously undersized. Maybe this is his year to make a little more noise. Of course he will have both Carman and Lanham at this weight, so I'm not predicting any tremendous upset. It will just be good to finally see him get a chance to wrestle at his true weight. Thus, I believe he probably deserves to be in the rankings. Even if he returns at 195, I still think he deserves some preseason consideration.

My Wheeling Park intel was provided a month ago by "TrueSouthFanOnTheHill" (for all readers, WP is on top of a mountain). I am sure some names have changed, which is a week to week process during the season.

All names will be on my rankings...…………...to include JV that beat other varsity wrestlers from other schools. Each week, each day...……….the ranking database will build.
