What happened to Luke Smith (Of South) at the MSAC?
February 11, 1997
As for who does the rankings, I am not certain but I think 2
coaches from each region (8 total) provide the input for the rankings.
And by the way Mexicano, just because one team defeats another in
a dual meet does not mean anything come the end of February.
The rankings are supposedly based on how teams are expected to
finish at the State Tournament. In a dual match your best wrestler
can only score 6 points; but could possibly provide 20-25 at
states!

To the person who said North Marion can only win small tournaments:
What about the Winners Choice tournament? They beat West Fairmont
there -- it was close but still they beat them. I understand what you
mean that there is no duals tournament in WV. Also, last year North
Marion didn't have close to as good a team as this year. Also look at West
Fairmont's team last year and compare.

O.K, pop quiz: Who from WV came the closest to beating PS this? Well I have 2 comments --
Bob Wilson is going to beat old Dallas from (CM) and Ward (JM) will defeat Ward (CM) at
Huntington. This is all.

I really disagree with anyone who says that Ward from Midland
won't win his second state title. Did anyone see that match
where Fraizer from Midland beat Scott from Capital? I heard that Frazier looked
very strong. I guess Fraizer is starting to turn it on.
Give me some info please..
I also have heard that Thomas from
Capital is working hard for his shot at a state title.

To say that the Cabell Midland team of today would be beaten
by the "Express" of '92 is like kicking a dead horse. There's
no way to prove HHS could or couldn't beat them today. It's
foolish to even ponder on the subject.
Let's back off and let these two teams battle it out for
the Regional title of 1997!!!

EVEN THOUGH COACH ARCHER HAS HELPED ME A GREAT DEAL IN MY LIFE AS
WITH MY
OWN FAMILY I DID NOTICE ONE THING ABOUT THE HIGHLANDERS WRESTLING
PAGE. IT
SAID THAT BILL ARCHER WAS THE PONY EXPRESS'S FIRST STATE CHAMPION.
THAT WAS
TRUE HE BEAT LLYOD DAY OF STONEWALL JACKSON 6-3. AS MUCH AS I RESPECT
COACH
ARCHER AND NOT TO DISCREDIT HIM IN ANY WAY, COACH BANE MCCRACKEN
OF MILTON
HIGH WAS CABELL COUNTY'S FIRST STATE CHAMPION IN 1962. I BELIEVE HIS
COACH
WAS BILL BIAS. SEE STATE TOURNAMENT PROGRAM!
FROM THE STAT MASTER I WILL
HAVE MORE HISTORY ON WEST VIRGINIA WRESTLING. THE FIRST MATCH IN THE
STATE
OF WEST VIRGINIA WAS BETWEEN MORGANTOWN HIGH AND PARKERSBURG.
MORGANTOWN
HIGH WAS VICTORIOUS AND LATER TRAVELED TO HUNTINGTON TO WRESTLE
COACH PAT
MCDERMOTT AND THE PONY EXPRESS. THE EXPRESS WAS VICTORIOUS. MY
SOURCE OF
INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT IS HUNTINGTON HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING
1922-1979

AS FOR JOE THORPE HE LEFT THE TEAM TO CONCENTRATE ON HIS STUDIES. I
AGREE WITH WHOEVER SAID FAIRMONT SR. WAS OVERRATED AND I ALSO AGREE
THAT NORTH MARION IS ALSO OVERRATED, BECAUSE IF I RECALL CABELL
MIDLAND BEAT N.MARION TWICE. THEY ALSO BEAT FAIRMONT SR. AND
WHEELING PARK THE ONLY TIMES THEY FACED THEM. SO WHO DOES THE
RANKINGS, WHERE IS THE CREDIT THAT CREDIT IS DESERVED. HOW ABOUT THE
MSAC THIS PAST WEEKEND, MIDLAND WAS DEFEATED BY SOUTH, WHICH IS
UNDERSTANDABLE. BUT THEY REALLY MANHANDLED HUNTINGTON HIGH FOR
THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW. HOW ABOUT FRAZIER? WAS IT AN UPSET OR WILL IT
HAPPEN AGAIN AT THE REGIONALS. WARD, WHO HAD A BAD MATCH AGAINST
JOHNSON, STILL DEFEATED THE O.W./ HARRIS HAS FINALLY FOUND HIS STRIDE BY
DEFEATING WRIGHT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW. NIBERT IS REALLY
LOOKING FOWARD TO BEATING THE BOYS UP NORTH. THE REGIONALS WILL BE A
MILD STEPPING STONE FOR C.MIDLAND WHILE THEY PUT TO AN END OF A 9 YEAR
TRADITION.

TO WRESTLING FAN: TO BEGIN WITH, MIDLAND BREAKING HUNTINGTON HIGH'S
STREAK AT THE REGION -- WHILE MIDLAND DOES HAVE A GREAT TEAM THIS IS
NOT THE PONY EXPRESS THAT THE PAST TWO YEARS MIDLAND COULD NOT
BEAT. THIS IS THE NEW HUNTINGTON HIGH. THEREFORE, LIKE THE
HUNTINGTON HEARLD DISPATCH SAID, IT HAS TAKEN CONSOLIDATION TO DO
WHAT PONY EXPRESS OPPONENTS COULD NOT DO --- STOP THEM FROM
DOMINATING REGION 3!
I WAS VERY PROUD TO BE A PART OF THE STREAK. TWICE BEFORE THE PONY
EXPRESS HAD WON IT 4 TIMES STRAIGHT. COACH ARCHER BY FAR IS THE TOP
COACH IN THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA BY CLASS AND BY HIS VAST WRESTLING
KNOWLEDGE.
AND TO THE FAN -- LET ME GATHER THE BOYS FROM OUR 92 REGION 3
CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM -- OUT OF SHAPE OR NOT -- AND WE WOULD BEAT THE
KNIGHTS. MILTON AND B-VILLE COULD NOT DO IT. WHAT MAKES MIDLAND
THINK THEY COULD DETHRONE THE PONY EXPRESS? THEY HAD 2 CHANCES AND
BLEW IT!

To the person who says Fairmont Senior is overrated: yes, North
Marion has a better overall team, but we're not in Pennsylvania
and therefore do not have a duals team championship. But West Fairmont
has better quality as opposed to quantity when compared to a team
like North Marion; that is why North can dominate a small tournament like the NCAC. (North's
130 was 2nd; 135 was 4th;
and even its 189 was 3rd) (It remains to be seen who will qualify for the state tournament).
Quality
is better then quantity anytime at the state tournament -- that is why
last year North & West were neck & neck in every tournament but
West scored about 100 more points than North at the State Tourney.
"Peace?"
February 10, 1997 -- from
a fan
I really think West Fairmont is really overrated. NORTH MARION
pounded on them the whole tournament. Before the finals North was
up by 41. Two of the best wrestlers there were Gorby (119) and
Besedich (152). They dominated their opp. and will be contenders
for the state title. And in all truth NORTH MARION is a better
team than West. PEACE

I was wondering what ever happened to Joe Thorpe from Huntington.
If I remember right he was runner-up in the state last year at 112.
I also remember reading about him beating Eric Frazier and Ryan
Harris, both of Cabell Midland in key matches. He didn't wrestle
in the Nitro Invitational either. I think that it would have been
a real show-down between him and Gorby this year.

What happened to Luke Smith of South? Why didn't he wrestle in
the MSAC? Is he out for the season?
February 10, 1997 -- from
the WV wrestling fan
This weekend at the MSAC, Midland had a good showing. The Knights
only lost to South. They defeated Huntington High for the
first time in a dual. Jerrod Walters proved dominant in his
match against Paul Brooks of the Highlanders. The Knights seem
to be picking up speed as the season comes towards its end. My
personal prediction for regionals is that the Knights will win
and break Huntington's streak, and will remain on top of Region 3
for years to come. They are only losing 3 Senior starters, but
have a great set of underclassmen. As opposed to many other
teams in the state, they are setting pretty to be a dominating
force. They have the possibility of having multiple state
champions and place winners this season, with many more next year
They will be hard to stop!!!
February 10, 1997 -- from
mexicano & binky
In my opinion Laymon Thomas, Capital, is the lone set-back for
Mike Sharp at 215. Although we haven't heard much about him this
year, he will be back into the roster at regionals. So everyone
needs to watch out for this up and coming star. I hate it when
people ride legs on one-legged dudes.

I WAS AT THE MSAC TOURNAMENT AND NOTICED THE QUOTE THAT
PARKERSBURG SOUTH HAD ON THE BACK OF THEIR SHIRTS ... A QUOTE FROM THE
BIBLE. WHEN JASON SCOT BEAT ZAK HASSE 14-3, SOME FANS (behaved rudely in the
poster's opinion). I THINK IT IS AN INSULT AND DISRESPECTFUL TO GOD. (Some
people) NEED TO GROW UP AND START THINKING ABOUT WHAT IS ON THE BACK
OF (South's) SHIRTS. IT WAS A GREAT MATCH BETWEEN THOSE TWO BOYS BUT IT
WAS SPOILED BY THE (behavior of some fans, in the poster's opinion).

Justin Cox is having trouble regulating his sugar right now and Jeremy Abbott can no longer
make weight. Adam Shank, our 103-pounder last year who placed 3rd in the state was originally
planned to be at 103 again this year but he too has never been able to get down to 103. But,
thankfully, he's just a junior and should be first string next year. Another MSAC question that's
driving me crazy. I've heard first that the tournament's at Capital and then now I read that it's
going to be at Point Pleasant. So does anyone know where it's going to be for sure?

Does anyone know what happened to P. South's 103 pounders? As I recall from the forum

In 125, Zach Hasse (PS) is tough but Jason Scott (C) is coming
on tougher and stronger than years past. Last year in the semi-
finals at Huntington, Scott was leading Hasse 2 or 4 to 0 for
2 periods then Hasse came back and rose to the occasion, and
defeated Scott by a point or two to go to the state finals.
This weekend at the MSAC they will wrestle for bragging
rights until the state tournament.
Also in the 125 lbs. weight class are two tough wrestlers
Ken Becker (WP) and Eric Frazier (CM). Becker is the OVAC champ,
4th 119 lbs. in "96. Frazier was beaten by Becker 6-1 and Hasse
8-5. Frazier has wrestled everyone except for Jason Scott this
year. This weight (125) is going to be hard to predict.

To those of you who still have a bit of trouble with self-control, you might
want to learn from this example. I won't name names or teams, but this event
did happen this year (in late January) in West Virginia. A wrestler at a
particular tournament behaved so poorly that he got thrown out of the
tournament, losing the 14 team points he'd accumulated and losing his team's
lead in the tournament. Consequently, when all was said and done, his team's
rival won the tournament by 13 1/2 points. Now that's a lesson learned the
hard way!

Of course Painter is from Greenbrier West and Waugh is from Berkeley Springs, both

Ok, all you people looking forward to the MSAC - does anyone know what time things get
underway? I heard that weigh-ins for the Blue Division don't even start until 1:00 p.m. Is this
going to be a traditional tournament or a duals meet like last year? If anyone knows, please
help!!! Thanks!
Well, at the Tri at JM last night there was some very good wrestling. I was very impressed with
Chris Ward of JM. He beat Johnson 12-5 and Hosaflook from Rip. 13-4 (Ward kicked him out 4
times). JM got beat by South 28-37 which they should have tied -- but Adkins at 145 was
winning 7-4 and got pinned with 2 sec. left. But I guess that kind of stuff happens when you're
wrestling South; you can never quit until the last buzzer. Weese and Sharpe didn't get to wrestle
because Weese wrestled Hwt. Next Sat. JM wrestles WP and it should be a good one. I was just
wondering if anyone knows what happened to Cogar from Lewis Co? If anyone sees the match
betweenWard (CM) and Johnson I would like to hear about it. Thanks a lot.
In my opinion 140 and 125 are the toughest in AAA. 140, with
Ward (CM), Ward (JM), and Johnson (PS) O.W."95, (three state champs
from 94, 96), will be great to watch in the state championship
at the end of Febuary. If you live near the dual of Ward (JM)
and Johnson (PS) happening today on Feb. 5, then I would like
to hear your comments on that match. Ward (CM) and Johnson (PS)
wrestle on Saturday I will be there!
I won't mention any names but I wrestle for a northern school and the only thing I have to say is
the boy south of the Mason Dixon line better watch out cause the north is coming after you

This is in regards to the 160 wt. class and Nibert vs Wilson: If you don't recall Bob Wilson of
John Marshall beat him 5 to 2 in last years states. He has improved alot since last year. I think
it will be Wilson and Wilfong in the finals. Wilfong is good but Wilson is better. Nobody from
WV has yet to beat Wilson and I don't think anyone can. He was 4th in the OVAC tourn. The
winner of that was John Cole from Beaver Local. Wilson pinned Cole in the first period this
year. In 140, I pick Chris Ward over Jason Ward.
In this state there are many contenders and no sure bets on
state champs. West Virginia, with teams like P. South, Hunt.
High, Cabell Midland, Wheeling Park, Roane County, Jefferson,
and Parkersburg; It's going to be pretty tough to place, teamwise,
second. Unless the parties speaking of John Marshall being
runner-up in the state to P. South have seen all the teams talked
about above wrestle, I wouldn't count some the powerhouses above
out on a state championship over South.
The MSAC tournament at Capital high should be the toughest
tournment by far in the eastern part of the state. If it were 200
miles away I would make plans to attend.
EDJU: YOU ARE RIGHT, WILFONG BEAT NIBERT AT WHEELING, 2-1 *REFEERE
ASSISTED* AS FAR AS WILSON WE WILL SEE *THIS YEAR* AT HUNTINGTON.
WHERE IS THE RESPECT THAT JASON WARD DESERVES? RIGHT THERE ARE 3
STATE CHAMPS AT 140, WHO WILL REPEAT? WHO KNOWS. I AM THINKING JASON
WARD, HE HAS DEDICATION AND THE SKILL TO BE A 4-TIME. LEMASTER HAS
IMPROVED 100% AND IS READY FOR ANYONE. WALTERS IS UNBELIEVEABLE AND
IS AWAITING TO PROVE HIMSELF TO THE STATE. FRAZIER CAN WRESTLE WITH
ANYONE IN THE STATE WHEN HE WRESTLES HIS MATCH. OLSON HAS STRUGGLED
EARLY BUT IS BACK. HARRIS PROVED HIMSELF WHEN HE BEAT 2-TIME STATE
CHAMP JONES FROM WILLIAMSTOWN(FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW) AND
MIKE WRIGHT IN THE WSAZ. HARRIS WILL BE THE CINDARELA STORY OF THE
STATE TOURN. MORRISON IS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY, IF HE WRESTLES LIKE HE CAN
HE WILL DEFINITLEY BE BACK IN THE STATE FINALS. AND AS FAR AS TEAM WISE
WE WILL SEE THIS WEEKEND AT MSAC. *******JIM- I HAVE SOME GOODIES YOU
OUGHT TO SEE. "ANTLERS UP"
I agree 140 is a strong weight class this year, but don't count out Jason Ward (CM). He has been
training all year and is looking for another state title. Jared Walters of (CM) is also another one
to watch, maybe not for the state title this year, but in the upcoming years (remember he's just a
freshman). Another wrestler I think is going to do good in the state is Capitals 125 pounder
Jason Scott he is looking better than ever and is out to win.
email: jennifer.gilchrist@gep.ge.com
Mr. LeMaster, you're right. Justin Cox didn't wrestle against Cabell Midland. Our 103-pounder
that night was Jeremy Abbott. Justin didn't start the season until the Ironman Invitational in
mid-December. Jeremy Abbott started out the season for South at 103. Now that Ryan Zombro
is out, I could very likely envision a title match between Wilfong and Nibert. As for Kenny
Maxwell, I saw a couple of things on him in the results and scores section of this website. Same
goes for Jason Johnson - his results are all there; all you have to do is look at all of the South
results. A word about Jason Johnson - he knows he's in a really tough weight class this year and
he knows he's got some excellent wrestlers he'll be facing, two of which he'll see Wednesday
night (Chris Ward of John Marshall and Mike Hosaflook of Ripley). But don't count Jason out
yet. He's faced some of the toughest competition in the country this year. This weight class
includes Sonny Marchette of
Walsh Jesuit, Jamarr Billman of
Easton, Pa, Jimmy Griffey of Grundy, Va, and Calivitta of Calvary Chapel, Ca. I'm not here to
brag and make predictions that Jason will "take it all" in Huntington, because none of us know
what can and will happen. When you have a weight class with three state champs in it, two are
not going to repeat as champions (Ward won in '95). These boys are all fine wrestlers and any of
them is deserving of the title. And who knows, we may have a sleeper somewhere waiting in the
wings!
Zombro has a broken leg and will not return this year. He had beaten Wilfong in their first
meeting before breking his leg in their return match.
Hi. I was wondering what happened to Ryan Zombro from Jefferson? And about this 160
with Wilfong and Nilbert -- is that Nilbert who got beat twice at states last year by Wilfong and
Wilson of J.M?
This year at 160 I predict Wilson and Wilfong in the finals. What do you think?
(Editors note: The results of the Jefferson Invitational indicate that Zombro lost there via
injury default. Rumors are that he was
in a long leg cast afterward).

I am yet to hear anything of Kenneth Maxwell of Iaeger at 103.
Kenny has the drive and the determination to be a STATE CHAMP!!!
Also another rising star of Iaeger, Adam Blevins - this kid is

'98!!!!!!!! In AAA powerhouse Jason Scott of Capital is a sure
bet. This kid has everything it takes to be on top. HE IS

Thanks to Mexicano for his confidence but ... LeMaster and Cox have only wrestled once and
that was in Pee-Wee about five years ago and Justin Cox won by fall with 16 seconds left in the
third period. I should know, cause I was there! As for Nibert and Wilfong in the finals, I can only
say, it could happen. The picks for states are interesting and it would be fun after the state
championship, to speculate on matches between A-AA and AAA champs. Kudos to the comment
about winning with class and losing with dignity. Keep the forum going, it's fun to read. Let's
hear from some folks in the Coalfields and Eastern Panhandle! A special word to Mexicano . . .
Got any new souvenirs lately? and "Antlers Up!"
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT JASON JOHNSON. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT
HIM THIS YEAR. I DISAGREE WITH THOSE WHO THINK THAT COX WILL WIN AT
103. I RECALL LEMASTER FROM CABELL MIDLAND BEAT HIM PRETTY BAD. AND
ANOTHER THING, WHAT ABOUT NIBERT AND WILFONG IN THE STATE FINALS THIS
YEAR? IT IS VERY POSSIBLE.

I wish to extend my highest praise to you wrestlers, coaches, and parents who
have mastered the art of winning without cockiness and losing with grace.
You exemplify the true meaning of high school sports. I've seen several
examples of poor sportsmanship (some quite pathetic) this past week and it
makes me want to praise those who do make the sport enjoyable. To you I wish
nothing but success. You're on the right track!
Subject: Viking Smash
Your team results for the Viking Smash have to be in error. I believe that
South Harrison came in third with a 4-2-1 record.
I was at the tournament. If Berkeley is 7-0 and Frankfort is 6-1 then
Frankfort's only loss would be to Berkeley and that means that Grafton lost
to both of them. I also know that Grafton lost to South Harrison (43-34), so
that gives them 3 losses and they could not have come in ahead of South
Harrison.
I am from the South Harrison area, as if you hadn't already figured that out,
and am very proud of the team for this placing and just want to make sure
that they get credit for it.
I very much enjoy your website, keep up the good work.
Well since you asked, Painter is from Greenbrier West and is undefeated. But GW is a AA
school so can anyone tell me how he is going to beat Courtney in state.
email: wrestlefreak@hotmail.com
I'm surprised at some of these picks for AAA State Champions!
Not only are some of them outright ludicrous (Besedich over
Jackson at 152; Painter at 189 -- who is Painter?)
but some are even choosing Zac Litton from Parkersburg as the
state champ at 135 pounds! Come on, people -- Litton has
wrestled at 145 the entire season! Another person chose either
"Kulpa or Waugh" at 275! Is there some sort of new AAA-AA play
off after the states? These 2 are in different divisions!
In a few days--you'll see some CONSISTENT ratings...
Stay Tuned!
