With a few schools moving up to AAA and a few schools dropping down to AA, who is wrestling off in the regional quads. 1. Fairmont Senior was the AA/A Region 1 champion. They have a tough bunch coming back. They have now moved up to AAA Region 1. Does FSHS get to participate in the AAA Region 1 quad...

Cameron received two from Wheeling Central. The word on the street is Braxton County has another one rolling in. Cabell Midland got one from Huntington. Is Braxton birch happening to be one of them if so that’s huge Birch and Tedrow. Cameron is going to be a frontrunner for the Single A title.

Cabell Midland got one from Huntington.

OK, quick question. How come when I go to the Facebook page I see tons of pictures from the same schools over and over. When some schools will submit pictures and results and things like that and they don’t get posted? I see pictures of people eating, standing in the snow, random adults, but when w...

Martinsburg got one (maybe more) from Musselman.

Spring Mills got one from Musselman.

Spring Mills got one from Hampshire.

Huntington got one from Lincoln County.

Yes. The word on the street is:

1. Hoover has one from Braxton and one from Clay.

2. Braxton has two from Nicholas.

3. I think Roane has one from Calhoun.

More to come.

AA/A Region four completed in February with the following teams finishing in the top four: Point Pleasant Ravenswood Williamstown Winfield With the proposed regional realignment fiasco, only Point Pleasant remains in AA/A Region 4. Both Ravenswood and Williamstown are headed to AA/A Region 1. Winfie...

Regional tournaments happened in February and the top four teams to compete for a chance to compete at the 2025 State Duals Championship were identified. With the proposed regional realignment, this creates some reworking and possible conceding. Fairmont Senior is going from AA/A Region 1 to AAA Reg...

It's been easy for a school like Indy or Point (mainly Point) to dominate at states because they send their full line up every year compared to whomever is the best school in region 1. Region 4 is Point and that's it, literally no one else at all. Ouch. I guess i will chime in. But before anyone sa...

If they keep the cut for AAA at 800, then just Point would move to AAA and Ripley to AA. If they move the cut line to 775/750 then Hoover, Nitro, Point, Fairmont, Winfield, and Shady all move to AAA. Year Dist District Schl School Type "Total Headcount" 2024 004 Berkeley 501 Hedgesville H...

One of the interesting perspectives is that school population size does not always equate to wrestling talent on the mat.

Good things are happening at Glenville State and West Liberty University. Yesterday was the Super Region 3 tournament with West Liberty finishing in second place with 125 points and Glenville State finished in third place with 122.5 points. The first-place team was Ashland University with 128.5 poi...

The AA/A State Champions were from the following regions and schools: Region 1: Six state champions. The champions came from the following schools: Keyser, Oak Glen, East Fairmont, Wheeling Central and two from Fairmont Senior. Region 2: Two state champions. One from Braxton County and one from Roan...

They've never been balanced, if Point Pleasant or Independence were in Region 1 the last 10 years, I'd love to know how many wrestlers they would've brought to Huntington year in and year out. And yes I'm saying the southern regions are weaker than hell This analysis has been done in previous years...

The examples that support my claims is as follows: The most competitive matches in the Regional Tournament should be the Consolation Semifinals, because it is either do or die. If you win you qualify for the state tournament and if you lose you get to sit and watch. In each region there are 28 of t...

Before the semifinals happen, Pill 2 or Pill 3 should have been selected for AA/A 132. Pill 2 or 3 would have put Lamb and Minor on the same side. Ringer was the clear cut #1 based on what has taken place this season. The waters for a clear cut #2 were too muddied for the coaches' committee to make ...

Four AA/A regional champions lost Thursday night.

Three out of the four losing regional champions lost to a 4th place wrestler coming out of region 1.

Where there is a will, there is a way. I think we can take upon ourselves that so far, there hasn't been enough will to make this happen.

I am sure there are plenty of examples that dispute my opinion, I will not argue that, but there are plenty of examples that support it. The point was that it is not a viable option to revise the qualification process for the entire state, just to benefit one or two people fighting for a 5th place ...

Coming from a friend who took time to do the research. Please note that the stats may be off by one or two, but these statistics are very close.

I attended AA/A Region 1 on Saturday. 1. I was probably the only person in attendance that was not affiliated with any of the participating schools. 2. The level of competition surpassed any event I attended this past season. The only exception might be the WSAZ but it is very close. More to come.

For the sake of this topic, there are two kinds of wrestlers. Perhaps a small minority makes up a third kind. 1. Wrestlers who begin the season in the weight class that they finish the season in. 2. Wrestlers who begin the season heavier and take weeks to months to get into their final regional/stat...

We have come a long, long way. There is some funny reading in this historical discussion topic.

By the way, here in 2024, Region 2 only had three wrestlers at 120.

The word on the street is there is something in the works. If true, it will fix a lot of this.

The word on the street is some #1 seeds will be out due to illness. Hopefully everybody can get well for regionals.
