Team Rankings: 

Central - Did they graduate anyone?  They took second last year with the same team just a year younger and potentially added Davis 
East Providence - Tough, underrated, well coached 
Lincoln - Tough and hungry 
Cranston West - Lost all of their champs from last year, but well coached
Narragansett - More experienced, well coached.  Still young.  
La Salle - A bunch of tough kids, however may be a better dual meet team
Hendricken - Would be higher if they didnt send backups and freshman
Woonsocket - Tough up top and have some tough kids all around 
North Kingstown - Rebuilding.  Still have a few tough kids.  Definitely a better tournament team
Toll Gate - Lost a few kids, but still a few that can go deep into tournaments 

OW: Currier / They rig it and give it to an NK kid

No idea who is going where.  Rankings would be different if Hendricken sends their starters.  There are solid middle and heavyweights in this tournament and with progression I'm sure there will be many kids at the "wrong weight."  I think this year's tournament will be tougher than it has been historically.  South County usually has at least 1 true state finals match, and often includes a finals match between state finalists that end the year in different weight classes.  Whats better than that on week 2 of the season?

The HWT bracket is going to be tough, winner of that should get OW. Nine teams with a legit hwt - NK, EP, La Salle, CW, Central, Lincoln, Woon, Sk and Narr. It could be a preview of the state finals, I see Alchihad CW beating Herrera Woon in the finals. In the round of 16, will be a great match.

The light weights should have some great action too. DeRoy EP vs Sebatelli TG at 106. I expect great things from Garcia Central. 126/132 should have have an exciting finals between Cogswell NK and Telinsky Narr. 138 could have a Voute Mtown vs Lynch La Salle finals, however I wouldn't be suprised to see Dib Lincoln upset one of those in the semis. Also keep in mind, almost every year Hendricken has a freshman upset someone, maybe it will be Wang at 215. This tounrmanet is definitely worth the ticket price. With the addition of East Providence and La Salle this season along with teams like Lincoln joining last season and the emergence of Central, this is an overall great tournament.
