Thank You, Anyone know about James?

A few questions... Kenwood- Where was Jordan Terry and Chartier Baker? Sycamore- Where was JT Gordy? Northeast- Where was Arien James? Clarksville- Where was Jon Vandal?

We are looking for results of the following tournaments; Oooltewah Invitational Harpeth Invitational Indian Classic Can someone please take the time and post them or post a link where they can be found???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-I hear that West will probably be at 30 for the rest of the year. - As far as the rankings go...They are updated almost on a daily basis but I will probably wait for another week or so to post them. Things need to sort out a little more. If you or anyone is interested in a particular weight all you have to do is ask. I'll tell you what I know.

If Bradley is fortunate enough to get by Collins Hill and CBHS in the pool matches of the Cleveland Duals this weekend, it looks as if they may meet an undefeated Franklin in the finals. Here are the match ups: 103# Brian Reyes vs Andy Morris 112# Mike Ortiz vs Blake Tinsley 119# Charlie Warfield vs Shawn Cordell 125# Kelly Felix vs Travis Creagan 130# Russ Runyeon vs Jake West 135# David Jackson vs Billy Herbold 140# Jon Heacock vs Jesse Baker 145# Bond Davis vs Matt Spain 152# Joel Konz vs Justin Spain 160# Renell McCullough vs Quinn Gibson 171# John Kirn vs Bryant Blackmon 189# Brad Raby vs Josh Cooper 215# Xavier Curll vs Matt Bailey Hwt. Tim Leach vs John Sivley Are there any predictions?

Robinson graduated.

I figured Sullivan would still be at 112.

Shawn Cordell-Bradley-2 time state champ Ari Ibrahim- Overton- State champ @ 112 in 03 Justin Talley -S Doyle - 3rd @ 119 in 03 Ryan McGrew - D. Boone - 3rd @112 in 03 Charlie Warfield - Frankln - 4th @ 119 in 03 Shawn Speroff - Colliervll - 6th @ 112 in 03

Just for the fun of it.

Easy fellows. We knew there were omissions and graduated seniors. We also know many of the weight classes are incorrect. Preseason rankings are just a guess. There are a dozen situations where debate is possible. For instance Boyce and West....in my opinion West is the better wrestler. BUT Boyce beat West in the last match they wrestled plus the fact that Boyce finished 2nd in the state and West finished 4th. Should West be ranked ahead of Boyce? Certainly not. Another point. Zeits at 125. The kid finishes 4th as a Sophomore and had a shot at winning. He was injured last year. We expect he will be back this season and basically have no clue what weight he will wrestle. It is a fact he was a very good wrestler as a Sophomore and placed in the state. Beyond that, we will see. We do this for pleasure and to generate debate. If you have followed our rankings in the past you will find we are pretty darn accurate. Matman will do a fine job with his rankings also. There is a USA Today ranking, an AP ranking and an ESPN ranking in football. All have merit and all are entertaining to look at. Just try not to take it personal. Thanks to all of you who are providing the useful information and constructive remarks. SB

SILVERBULLET PRESEASON TENNESSEE HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING RANKINGS 11-7-03 It’s that time of year again. Let the debate begin. Before too many of you get up in arms, these rankings are based on the weight classes from last year. The Silverbullet Rankings welcome all insight and input. Your involvement is encouraged. If you have solid knowledge of a change in a weight class please post it on this thread. We are already aware of numerous changes. All changes will be reflected in the next poll. It is worthy to note that all useless babble and criticism will be ignored.

Good Luck to all wrestlers.

I do agree that the two best wrestlers do not always meet in the Finals but to suggest that it is part of a Master Conspiracy is a reach. It can be argued that the same thing occured in 3 or 4 other weight classes. This happens every year and there is really no way around it. You and I may think that Edmonds and Jones were the top two at 171 but how do you prove it. You would run into the same problem we run into with this poll. For example: A beat B...B beat C...C beat D...therefore A is better than D. At best it is like reading tea leaves. Come up with a good solution and I and many others will help you push it through.
