comments: Well midseason is here and so is the OVAC tournament the largest tourney of its
kind in the nation. This will be a sight to see. I hope everyone can make it there to see some
great wrestling! Oak Glen is poised to make a title run also Cameron Wheeling Park John
Marshall and Brooke will be looking for some top billing in Sunday morning's paper. Here are a
few seeded wreslters at weights for these teams.
103. Joshua Gorayeb WP John Howard JM?
119. Adam Kennedy WP
125. Tyler Hughes Cam #2 Garret Six OG
130. Derrick Kennedy WP #1 Gaelen Lowers OG
135. Eric Noel #1 Joel O'Neil Cam #3 Mike Muldrew JM Dave Durbin Brk?
140. Kyle Eckleberry OG
145. Roger Kupfer Cam #2
152. Derek George JM #2 Tucker Brown #3
160. Derrick Stickles OG Chris Taylor JM?
189. Phillip Bellville OG Vince Magnone Weir
275. Joey Caughey OG
As you may have noticed Greg Six of Oak Glen may have been a bit slighted...and where was
Jared Ross of Cameron? Well here's the midseason MIA wrestlers report.
In the 103 pound class the highly touted Jared Ross of Cameron has quit the sport of
wrestling due to some unknown problems. We wish him all the best in the rest of his senior
year. And in the 215 pound class Greg Six of Oak Glen has broken his fibula and will be out for
most to all of the year. It sure is a shame to see two wrestlers as fine as these two not be
able to finish the year. Six as we know is a returning runner-up at 215 and is ranked #1 in
most polls. Ross was a state qualifier who has shown he can wrestle with the best all year. He
had already scored a victory over returning 103 6th place finisher Gary Dankovchik at the Weir
Red Rider Inv. He was ranked rather high in a lot of polls throughout the year and with his
drop to 103 was a favorite of most Northern WV pollsters to win the championship.
We have some good wrestling behind and in front of us let us keep our heads about us and
wrestle a smart clean second half of the year! On a final note if you can get to the
Wheeling Civic Center this weekend starting Thursday night at 6:00 p.m. for opening ceremonies
to the greatest tournament in the country! It is a spectacular show that will please all
mat-patrons so be there or miss out! Hasta La Vista!
-Chris Wood.

comments: I would just like to know when the coaches polls would be posted .I would also like
to say that all the wrestlers at Braxton wrestled hard but I disagreed with some of the seeding. Just because they were in the
upper braket.To answer some questions about Ash Gandee he was sick that is why he did not
wrestle at Braxton and to end on a note for the predictors. I think Whiteman from Hundred at
119 dislocated his shoulder so he might be out for the season.

Duals. They got beat by St. Marks of Delaware and Nazarath of VA. They went 3-2 defeating
Hampton VA McGuffy Penn. and Lee Davis great job. Also I would like to add that Ryan Metz
Casey Daggett and Nathan Pickens were the only ones on the team who went undefeated this
weekend 5-0 great job
January 16, 2001
There are a few guys on the Greenbrier west team getting no respect. Jeremy
Livley at 160 is one who has got a little but not much. Alex Morello at 130
hasn't got ant either. Pat Bell at 119, Travis walker 140, are also to
people that deserve some. All four are right in the mix to place in there
weight class.

comments: I'd like to say congrats to my friends Sean Agoney for finishing 4th at Fairmont and
"The One" Billy Barbour for finishing 8th. If Devin Abshire wouldn't have dropped down and
messed up the seedings "Sweet" Billy B probably would have finished higher. Probably 2nd. But
the
"B to the A" will be back next year. Gracefully switcing gears I was suprised by Elkins 171
pounder Ray Linger. He seemed to come out of no where to finish 3rd at Fairmont and win
impressively against Joe Jackson. Is he a freshman? Finally I'm going to go out on a limb and make a bold prediction but I think
they can do it I think MARTINSBURG WILL BEAT HEDGESVILLE at CVAL!!!!!

comments: Congrats to Jefferson's Rob Osuch on his third place finish at the Winner's Choice
and his victory over Bonecutter of Point Pleasant. Phanatik-please re-do your picks as they
were close but some in wrong weight classes such as Taylor from John Marshall is wrestling at
160 and Durst from Martinsburg is at 160 also. Abshire has also moved back down to 135 as of
this past weekend at the Winner's Choice. I was very disappointed in Chantz Griffith's not
being able to make weight after Friday Evening's wrestling at the Winner's Choice and I'm sure
his team was also. Last observation is about the
Miller vs. Courtney match. Is it just me or was there 2 points missing for Courtney? I thought
that Courtney had two escapes and Miller had two take downs thus the score was 4-2 when
Courtney got a reversal as Miller was fleeing the mat towards the scoring table and Jeff had a
hold of Miller's leg and both feet in. I did not see the score change after the ref signaled
reversal. Miller then tried to get a cradle in and Courtney then posted the arm and turned in
and broke the hold to put Miller on his back and got two back points. Score at this time
should be 8-4 in favor of Courtney at which time Miller took Courtney down and got two back
points as time ran out. The score I had at that point as I saw it was 8-8 with Courtney
injured laying on the mat. Anyone else see it that way or did I nod off? Someone enlighten me
please.

he is challenged by one of the other wrestlers. Greg Six broke a
bone in hs leg. His return is slight. He might have to get screws
in his ankle.

To Whom It May Concern:
There has been a Rainelle tournament the last couple of years as a
qualifier for the TOC in Columbus Ohio. I was just wondering if the
tournament is going to take place this year. I really enjoyed that
tournament both years I went. It was run good and it was also a change of
wrestling styles for me. Please let me know if that event will take place
this year. My E-mail address is jmhs9810@aol.com.

comments: I just wanted to thank JD Hoover and his team of Total Sports Consulting for what
they are doing for our children. I appreciate the effort they are putting out in helping to
expose our kids to the next level. My son wants nothing more than to play football in college.
Being a single parent I can not afford to pay for college and I was afraid that student loans
and grants wouldn't cover the expense either. With Total Sports Consulting allowing us to put
his stats out in cyber space to be seen by colleges all over the US we hope that he will be
able to receive a scholarship. In talking to this young company I am encouraged that they
will be able to help a lot of kids continue to participate in the sports that they love so
much. Check out their website at www.totalsportsconsulting.com . Good luck with your new
company and thanks again. We are truly grateful.

comments: Whoever did those predictions for AA...I think they arent too bad. I think Garret
Six will be in the finals on Saturday. He showed how much he improved from last year in his
absolute domination of Bosley from Parkersburgh South. I also think the Brookover from
Willaimstown will not be in the top four at 130. Kupfer will be challenged at 145 from Steve
Flowers a young wrestler that has nothing but talent. Dont mark him in there so soon. the
last 4 weight classes should go to Oak Glen but im not sure about Greg Six ..... I am looking
forward to states and it looks like one for the thumb for Oak Glen.....nobody is gonna be close
again...sorry everyone

From: Laughing right now.
comments: Whoever ranked Brookover at 130 at #2 over Hughes needs to seriously rethink their
prediction. I have seen Hughes wrestle and he is very deserving of a higher ranking. Consider
this also...Brookover in his only meeting with Fullerton of Cameron last year lost to the then
Sophomore 1-0. This year Fullerton can't break the starting line-up anywhere from 130-160.
Makes you think huh?

comments: No offense but the reason why lively or any other Greenbrier West wrestler is being
left out of the predictions is because no GW results have really been given. If you get the
JCI's in and show us some key wrestlers they beat then we can rank them a little bit easier. I
believe Lively is a tough wrestler but I would like to see his card thus far please. Thank
you.

comments: What about Lively from Greenbrier West at 160 he defeated Rhodes in the JCI's. Why is
he left out of all predictions. So far this season he's 19-0 in the 160lb weight class. Even
though most of your predictions are wrong it would be nice to recognize the correct wrestlers
in each weight classes. I don't see any reason to predict state results this early in the
season nobody knows about place winners until we go to Huntington. So keep the predictions to a
minimum just out of respect for all wrestlers who deserve to be mentioned but are not.

comments: Hey I'm back with my 130-152 match predictions!!! Watch out for these there are some big matches to look forward to here!
130. The A-AA field poses some interesting matches this year as the senior from Oak Glen Gaelen Lowers tops most polls and predictions at this time. What will be interesting is to see him square off against Casey Hughes of Cameron the Freshman who has been on somewhat of a roll since his the Berkeley Springs tournament. Lowers and Hughes match up very well it will be a very good match to see! Keep your eyes open we could see it this week at OVAC! In AAA as seen at the Nitro tournament Robbie Williams and Chris Gibbs is a very interesting match to see. I am excited to see them wrestle again they will meet again at regionals and then at states possibly! Also watch out for Derrick Kennedy who is pinning his way through the ranks and looking VERY strong in this his senior year!
135.A-AA Eric Noel looks to repeat as titlist with his opposition coming from a strong Adam Leach of Grafton. This should be an interesting match-up as will be Noel and Joel O'Neil (barring he's healthy didn't someone say he had a broken nose?). They will meet at regionals this will be an exciting match to watch also so look out! At AAA 135 will have one VERY good match concerning Wesley Lane of Huntington and John Duncan of South. Watch for this to be one of the more entertaining matches of the night come Saturday night in late February! Both are looking to claim a title before they go out and both have little to lose as no one is quite sure how this class will shape up.
140. AAA holds court to some very great match-ups with Jed Ott of North Marion and Robbie Ripley of Nitro squaring off later in the year. Throw in Danny Lord (who will see Ott again soon at the Winner's Choice in what will surely be a great match-up!) of Hedgesville and you've got the crock-pot mix for a very exciting tourney! In A-AA there is a great deal of talent. Heading the list are Grafton grappler Chris Leach and Oak Glen standout Kyle Eckleberry. Leach was a runner-up and Eckleberry was a 4th place finisher last year so both have tasted a prize at Huntington but only one will come away this year with the top honors!
145.A-AA Kupfer looks to be unstoppable! Some say think again! I think Terry Childers of St. Marys will put up an admirable fight here! They have two meetings before states though and we will get a good idea what to expect in these matches! For those of you wondering they meet at a tri with Magnolia later in the year and then again at regionals so watch out small school fans! Knowing Childers's firey nature this could be a great match-up to watch! AAA has Jason Mays of Huntington and Bryan Moats of Hedgesville looking to meet in the championship match. Since being pinned by Kupfer at Berkeley Springs Moats has really been a sight to see on the mat! Mays is always up to a challenge though so this will be a fierce match to see this year! Heads up!
152. Tucker Brown of Cameron heads the A-AA field but is being pressed hard by Matt Seckman of Williamstown right now. These two will be a match to see at regionals! Then seeing them at States again will be a real treat! Watch for a tough hard match out of these two it could go down to the wire! In AAA Nathan Pickens is the no-brainer here right? To those of you who think this look towards the panhandles! Derrick George of John Marshall and McDonald (excuse that I forgot your first name!) from Jefferson have been tearing up the field and look to take aim at that illusive title this year! This will be a great class to watch!
So everybody look ahead a few weeks we have some great matches for all of us huge mat fanatics! Keep your eyes peeled for my 160-275 matches! Good luck to all and goodbye!

comments: Ash gandee is doing well this year. He recieved outstanding wrestler at JCIS. Why not his dad paid for the trophies.
I think his closest match this year has been Casto rip. 7-8.
Congrats ash and good luck this year.

comments: Hey i know doc will be at Winner's Choice and may not be able to post results as
quickly as we might hope. Maybe folks could post results on WVSPN.com wrestling message board
from Braxton and Winner's Choice when they get home. Some immature posts on there but posts
are put up instantly and those of us who will be unable to attend either tournament would
appreciate the info.
Thanks

comments: The Point Pleasant wrestling team is really good. The 171 weight class is stacked
with Jacob Carr Derek Spurlock and the German wrestler Max Pauge who gets no credit he is a
star in his first year of American wrestling.

From: Region3fan
comments: To Phanatik:
Intersting picks; both individual and team. For the most part I think you are accurate but I
have to disagree with Nitro at #3 in the team standings. They don't have enough guns to finish
that high. They do have three guys with ligit shots at winning state. But I'm not sure all
three can pull it off. And after those guys and the 103 pounder the lineup is pretty soft.
They are probably closer to a #5 or #6. E. Fairmont and Huntington will be tight at #2. Other
than that I'd say you're accurate everywhere else. Thanks for the picks interesting to think
about.

From: MEAN MIKE
comments: Phanatik thanks for your polls. Can you explain why you have John Marshall at 16th
place? They have beaten University in a dual 28-27 beaten PHS in a dual 51-18 and in the
Brooke Classic JM had 78 pts. beating PHS with 69 pts. and not far behind Fairmont SR. 85 pts.
thanks Mike.

comments: I think the 152 pound division will be interesting in AA and AAA. IN AA you have
Stutler Brown Seckman Bolen and Miller. In AAA the list goes on and on so I'm not even
gonna get into it. But I think Pickens is sure to go to the finals again.

comments: I'd like to say congrats to Travis Durst for his wins against Musselman and Hedgesville on Tuesday.
By the way Martinsburg only lost by 6 points to Hedgesville and are looking forward to a rematch at CVAL.
January 11, 2001
From: To much time on my hands
comments: I went through all the dual match reports on this website. Out of 186 matches, the 103 lbs class was contested in 68 matches (37%) and was uncontested because of forfeit or double forfeit in 118 matches (63%). I don't have anything
against the 103 pounders, but I'm wondering if this is a nationwide trend? Wonder if it is time for the powers that be to rethink the weight classes in face of reality? I wonder how many of the 103 pounders had to cut 10 or more pounds to get there anyway?

are out and updated weekly. I also am impressed with phanatiks knowledge of so many wrestlers throughout the state.
Great job.
January 11, 2001
From: Superman
comments: Phanatik as usual your picks are very accurate as much as one can tell at this
point in the season. However I do disagree with you on a few classes. I believe if Abshire
stays at 140 there are rumors that he is dropping to 135 he would be able to take the title.
Sure he lost to Lord and Lord lost to Ott and Robbie Ripley is very good but I think Abshire
is due all those guys are even. If he does drop to 135 I think he's a more obvious pick.
145) I believe Moats will win if he can keep from being "Fruit Looped". Moats looked very
impressive against Beard at the county meet.
171) No I'm not going to disagree with your pick
for the title but Jackson is a better wrestler than Thomas. I have only one more problem and
that is the absence of "THE ONE" Billy Barbour from your listing of 135. After all Sir William
did thump Shell at county. I would venture as far to say that B.A. Billy Barbour would win a
rematch with Delligatti. He was very sick at Wheeling Park and lost to kids he could beat any other time. Also he looked very impressive at JIT
with a third place finish. Sweet Billy B. should not be looked over. I truely believe 2001 is
the year for "THE ONE". I do have one final note I agree with your choice of Kinsley over
Johnson. Kinsley looked real tough at last years state tourney. Ending Dustin Bowers
undeafted streak and taking it to Stevens. I think anyone who saw that final would agree that
Kinsley out wrestled Stevens he just gave up a 5 point turn (reversal and backs) not counting
that exchange Kinsley dominated the other 5 1/2 min of the match.

comments: Conrats' to Shane Cecil of Magnolia. An excellent wrestler who Looks to do well at
states this year. Possible ovac placer.
Job well done to Joe Weaver on his 50th career win on his first 2 years of wrestling. Now at
21-2 on the season. A couple of hard losses but keep your head up and get em back at states.
Good luck to the rest of Magnolia. Keep improving.
and lets do well at ovacs next week.

To Ripley Fan: I apologize for the oversight. There have been very few in-state results
posted for Ripley and Point Pleasant. My rankings will be much more accurate after this
weekend's Winner's Choice.
To Whiteboy: I have to agree with you 100%. It is impossible to have very accurate rankings this early in the season especially with so few results being posted. Again they will be updated sometime shortly after the Winner's Choice. Also everyone knows that anything can and will happen in Huntington - and that rankings are just that - rankings.
To South Wrestling Fan: Thanks for the kind words. I agree Grogg has been very impressive so far but I had very little to gauge his performance on as much of South's wrestling has been out-of-state so far. Had either Oak Glen Parkersburg or even McGuffey had a returning state qualifier at 112 this year it would made it easier. Rest assured he will move up upon defeating other ranked wrestlers.
And now for my AAA Team rankings (as of 1/10/01)

From: chs alum
comments: To the person who commented on Beresford and Weaver's match. It was a very
entertaining match in which Beresford kept it to about (roughly I may be off a point or two so
don't quote me!) a 2-0 match until the last period when he got tired and pinned. Beresford can
be a great wrestler at times but he can also wrestle poorly at times. Look for him to get
serious toward the end of the season but also watch in the matches he loses. You'll se what
I'm talking about. Thanks for asking though I am pleased to help!

comments: to phanatic: we the room slammers say you better look again on wieghts 103 and 112
sure they will all be close matches but Grogg will get better than 6th and Conley will do also
better than 7th. You will see when it comes down to the state tournament.

you are right on Johnny Duncan at 135 but that is wide open with several good wrestlers.The
171 class has 3 excellent wrestlers in it and should be exciting.Thanks for something to think
about Phanatik and again good job on coming up with all the wrestlers in their weight class.See
