I will go on defense as well... The first ranking (as all first rankings in high school should) is based off of last years weight classes and results at the state tournaments. With kids it will be hard to predict what weight class each kid in the state WILL wrestle at this year especially with the new hydration rules. Maybe more important the "PRE-SEASON" is nothin more than a list of good wrestlers who should be returning and your RIGHT Elliot and Bahe are very good wrestlers and deserve to be listed among the best. Last season I had a kid who didn't get ranked will Feb. He was second seeded at several tournaments and won them, was seeded third at regionals, and ended up in the state finals. Ultimatle ranking is about promoting kids, gettin exposure, and are mostly for fans and the media. TRUST ME when your a good wrestler, everyone in the wrestleing community knows.
I'm not proof-reading this so excuse the miscues...
