Based on the current rankings, the projected Class L tournament looks to be a dog fight between Simsbury and Bristol Eastern for the top spot with four good teams battling for 3rd. Middletown is looking tough this year.
Team Ranked Points

2 Bristol Eastern 9 96
3 Xavier 7 73
4 Wethersfield 7 68
5 Middletown 6 65

Hand and Central will be in the mix. L is tough this year for sure.
I have Hand at 7th based on the current rankings. I agree, they will definitely be in the mix. Central I think is probably a bit under rated right now as there are only 4 wrestlers ranked and they are all ranked at 6th. They keep winning those duals though. They have not wrestled many class L teams, so not a lot of direct comparisons on them. That should change this weekend at the Bristol Central Tournament (6 class L teams at this tourney). We'll see how legit they are.
I agree though, Class L is tough this year.
