Re: Region 1 A/AA

You said "where was the outrage when it was region 4" Im just saying it was NEVER region 4. Thanks 2006 region 4 places 33 at states…meaning the other 51 spots was between three regions…average 17 per region. Not quite rankings…not double. But…close. You’re welcome. “Beware of the ringwor...

Re: Region 1 A/AA

I'm not exactly new to wrestling, but how long ago was it the region 4 had twice as many ranked kids as any other to regions combined? I don’t know about rankings, but region four placed more kids in Huntington and had more champs for a long stretch mid 2000s to mid 2010s I’d say. That’s when the R...

Re: 1 & 2 Split Pill

That list is too big to be swept under the rug and I 100% agree with every one. Every 1 & 2 should a been split. If you do it for one weight class you do it for all. To do otherwise brings the tournaments legitimacy into question. This is the state tournament. Not a 3 ring circus trying to give...

Re: AA/A ranked wrestlers per region

Wrestlers with losing records making the state tournament is exactly why there should be just one class. The state is watered down enough So only reason this can happen is because the region is weak vs a kid hitting their stride? Maybe healed up from injury? Maybe recovered from bad weight cuts? Ca...

Re: Dutton Award 2022

I have a different spin If it is a season award then it goes to Raike. Derek outperformed Gage at Fargo, Ironman, and Powerade. If it is a career award then we look back to last year when Gage whipped Derek twice. Either way both are very good representatives of WV wrestling. So what about last yea...
