Rankings, picks

As I've done over the past 30 seasons, I will release my individual rankings the first week of January and have them updated on a weekly basis. I normally wait until that time because there has been enough wrestling to get an idea of who should be in and who should not be. Picking the top two or so individuals in each weight class is pretty easy. It's the remaining spots that take the most time.

Powerade, West Mifflin and Southmoreland will hold tournaments this week and that is a major help.

My first regular season team rankings will be posted Wednesday morning - sooner if things break right - along with my picks for Powerade.
