Re: 1 out of 108

What happened to AAA 132 that lost in quarters. Did he not make weight? Forfeit in consolidations.

Re: Region predictions

Well I guess just give the trophy to South. They were beaten in the OVAC, Brook Classic and finished 2nd behind Point at WSAZ. Plus, PS has lost a couple of head to head matches too within the state. It has to make you laugh for the few in Parkersburg that feel that they are untouchable when it come...

Re: News from the legislature

I have been asking local House and Senate Rep to try and push this through.. High School and Middle school kids have lost out on a year and half of education.
It's not just for sports. It's truly for the well being of the student.

It helps if the best 2 wrestlers are in the same region - no matter what pill is drawn they will be on opposite sides of the bracket.

Re: Individual and Team Rankings on "What's New" State Seating

It's "Seeding". And no, those polls do not determine seeding for the state tournament. Placement in Regionals and then the pill draw determine the bracket. The polls mean nothing, don't worry about them. Thanks for correcting my grammar. I believe there was discussion on this board about ...

Individual and Team Rankings on "What's New" State Seating

Is this a coaches poll? Over the last month I've seen a few head to head matches in various weigh classes and have seen some beats with kids ranked over them on this poll. Will the 2020 State Tournament use these rankings to separate the 1 and 2 seats for it's brackets? Doesn't seem right if these r...

The convention center where the OVAC was held looks like a nice arena (they have a jumbo tron). Any chance that a State Tournament could be hosted there? Huntington's arena just isn't that accommodating and it isn't the easiest to view the mats. If not Wheeling why not Morgantown? We all pay taxes t...

Wasn't claiming Humprheys as a South 4x champ, I said he was a 4x state champ and South lost him after last season. ...
