[Bearhugger]

BEAR TRACKS AA/A Preseason Edition 5 – September 13th
New Messages:
1. 19 new names were added this week.
2. Thank you to those who have contributed.
3. For those who have not contributed yet, please do not be shy.
4. Wrestlers listed in the “Pack” are not in any kind of order.


Guidelines:
1. Wrestlers begin the preseason ranked based on how they finished at the previous state tournament.
2. Incoming freshman begin the season unranked.
3. The basis of the Bear tracks ranking system is “To be the man, you have to beat the man”.
4. Each weight class will begin divided into three sub categories. During the preseason, the “ranked” wrestlers will be only returning state place winners. The “STQ” will be returning state tournament qualifiers that did not place. The “Pack” will be all incoming freshmen and NON-STQs.
5. Added feature for 2019/2020. The returning STQs will be ranked based on wins and losses at the state tournament. A wrestler that went 1-2 will be ranked higher than a wrestler that went 0-2.
6. During the preseason, wrestlers will be assigned to their given weight class based on Super 32 registration, the highly reliable tool known as “Word on the Street” and the newly created quantitative programs developed by the Bear Tracks Analytics Team.
7. Any head to head WV vs WV matches that take place at Super 32 will be used to adjust rankings.
8. By popular demand, the wrestler’s grade will now be recognized on their resume.
9. Wrestlers will be recognized as follows: Name/School/State Placement/Region/Grade/Source. The source is one of the three topics listed above in guideline 6.
10. In the beginning, rankings will be created on the best available information and updated as information becomes accessible.

Perdue weighed out today at 121.4 in PA. Gonna be 120 maximum but more than likely 113. For the first time in a year and a half he has no metal in his legs, both meniscus and ac ligaments repaired and putting in 25 miles every week. Also Adams is not 152... The weight room has been good to him.

You need to feed that boy Matt! Glad to hear he is healthier this year!

Scott of Fairmont Senior (STQ) should be on the 170 list. Word on the street say he may even drop to 160.

195lb Kuhn tore his hamstring last week during a football game against fairmont senior. He's out for the wrestling season unfortunately.

I heard it was his quad... guess it doesn't matter though. Tough deal for him either way. Hate that. At least he will still have his senior year to come back.
