Apparently all .500 and better schools are eligible for district duals this year, so North Star and tonight's Meyersdale/Hyndman match should be able to qualify. Updated rankings, per D5 website. DISTRICT FIVE "AA" WRESTLING RATINGS RANK TEAM WON LOST POINTS RATING 1 Shade 5 1 30 5.000 2 N...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Replogle wrestle 119 against Grimes, iirc Thomas has had Mason's number in the past. I'm curious as to how Creps will matchup with Gartland & Matt Solly with Dudek and Weyandt. Perhaps Bedford will tip its hand on weights Thursday night when they wrestle Penn Cambr...

My intent wasn't to put down Shade which has certainly improved its program, but instead to highlight the flaws of the current ranking system. Conemaugh Township's position @ #2 is another example of the problem. Nobody asked me, but hopefully Shade's schedule changes in the future - I'd scrap the S...

Why do you not have a team ranked first? How did you come up with your rankings? CT second?? I don't see that. Sorry for the confusion, I listed the teams in the order that I'd rank them. The number in parenthesis was the official D5 rankings as of January 8th. Shade was the #1 ranked team and sinc...

Does anybody else feel that the rankings system needs a complete overhaul? Currently the system only includes regularly scheduled matches, with teams getting 7 points for a win over AAA school, 6 for win over AA school, nothing for losses, total divided by number of eligible duals. So events like th...

I've posted top 3 rankings over at bfly's site.

I'm not trying to restir the hornet's nest, but I'm of the opinion that Albright will place higher than Bussard at the D5 tournament, even with Bussard's recent victory over Albright.

Team rankings:
NBC
Bedford
Chestnut Ridge

If that is the case then I'm guessing that Everett would need to drop their current policy of not hosting playoff events involving NBC.

I believe that the NCAA Div. 1 limit is 9.9 scholarships while the Div. 2 limit is 9. NCAA/schools try to balance Title IX/women's sports with football's large rosters, wrestling has certainly been hurt as a result. I find it odd that complaints have not been made about women receiving more scholars...

Frey is committed to PSU. Rumors are that he is walking on. Frey's 2004 website tells the story:

Now that we are closer to the start of the season, does anybody have any update on the NBC wrestling squad?
