Early preseason rankings for DI

[csemary]

Its never too early so here is my EARLY PRESEASON TOP 5 RANKINGS for next season. (of course DI only)

 

1. Soddy Daisy

2. Cleveland

3. Science Hill

4. Houston

5. Bradley

[Rumble]

That looks right, except I'd put Bradley 3rd. Though they lost 8 or 9 senors, you can bet they will reload.

i feel like signal mountain training up in the eagles nest may be a strong contender next year.

Clarksville will be very tough next season.

Dickson county will be tough also.

Coach Badon and Coach Jordan always have tough teams. I may have underestimated Clarksville a bit because they should have Hayden Jordan for another year and he did not wrestle at State due to an injury. Dickson did not appear to have any returning state placers for next year and only one wrestler that made it within 2 rounds of placing at State.

Houston should be very competitive this next season. Don't be surprised if they finish in the top 5 next season. Coach Peck at Ravenwood has done a great job. I think I would put Ravenwood to finish 3rd next season. Ravenwood is a team when you step on the mat you know your going to wrestle a quality guy. They are very impressive and seem to compete at a high level every year. Might be a surprise to others but I think Walker Valley could finish in the top 10 next season. Usually over looked because #1 and #2 are all in the same county, had possibly the youngest team in the state this year. Chatt Central should be tough next season. The team won the small school state and seemed to tank it after that. I think Chatt Centrals coaches will have them back in the the hunt for the small school state title and will have the team prepared for success and carry it over to the traditional tourn in 2012

so your saying if hatden jordan had wrestled in state you would have considered clarksville a top 12 team but dickson who has 7 returning state qualifiers is not good enough because they lost 1 state placer and to be the number 2 team in the region this year thats pretty odd that you doubt there skill.

i find this hard to understand. At the duals science hill and clarksville actually tied. I think it came down to critera F for the tiebreaker. Also all but two come back to clarksville team who took eleven to state. Would have had 12 if Jordan wrestled. He will be back next season. So i am not understanding the gap between science hill and Clarksville. Two medalist left team (graduation). I expect Clarksville to be alot tougher than you give them credit for. I expect region 7 to be alot tougher than this season also.

It was good to see you again this last weekend coach. I've gotten used to these post that always have Clarksville towards the bottom. Happens every year. Seems like we always get forgotten about until around February.
