I presume this is the place to post comments on the rankings. Obviously it is early, to say the least, but since wrestling is also a team sport I thought I'd check and see how the team race is shaping up. No predictions intended, just wondering at how things look, especially with Fairmont Senior now in the mix. I'd like to welcome them. In AAA we always want the best competition. Using the rankings just as they appear (correcting for where any team has 2 wrestlers in the same weight class or listed in 2 different weight classes) and just assigning placement points for 1st through 6th, here's what I found:
Woodrow Wilson 87
University 84
South 65
Fairmont Senior 57
PHS 48 (without any points from Way or Cooper, which is unlikely)
Bridgeport 40
Wheeling Park 37
Washington 37
Spring Mills 36

I do not know how it will all shake out but your top 5 is more than likely the top 5 when it is a done deal.
