I like South83 format. Would make for a fun weekend and plenty of mat time.

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

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...

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.

State Duals is around the corner (as everything else). Let start taking State Duals and Highs and Lows.

Looks like with COVID Weigh In Policy a School Admin (ie: school principle, AD) has to weigh in and certify team before they leave for away dual, tri or quad match. How does that work for overnight matches?... Really like to idea of a regional quads then meet in the middle to have a quad from the wi...

Plenty of upsets happening already!! Some wrestling programs could receive donations in the form of Jack Lalanne Power Juicers and Suzanne Sommers Thigh Masters and people are getting UPSET about it. You do realize these items you are postulating to give thru the "Awards" are priceless an...

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. Now wihen there are several good wrestlers and they get left out of states that is a different story. Ding Ding we have a winner. I believe that regions in both AA &...

The rule you have provided uses the term "awards". Show me the rule that uses the word "donation". Thanks Each thread is titled "Award". Show me how that's a donation. Thanks. "Beware of the ringworm!" - Bernie Sanders The "award" is recognition for...

Anyone can donate to a program. Yes, it must be labeled to the program it goes to. If it's not going to a booster club or to a coach/ team itself how can it be wrong..

I believe if you go to ovaec.org it will take you to match results from region 1 and possibly the results from other regions..

So again, there is confusion because there isn't clarity from the WVSSAC on these proposed changes. Happening or not it was put out there for people to see and there needs to be commutation from the WVSSAC on it's intend. It's better to be proactive than reactive... It shouldn't take a post on site ...

Completely agree. I must say your rankings Bear, are the most accurate that this site and the state has.. Just wish we would could get a true coaches ranking. I have heard from a few, that not all head coaches within the state have access to submitting a ranking on teams and wrestlers. And or the co...

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 ...

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...

Someone broke down the nationally ranked (FLO, intermat, Track ranking) wrestlers attending Brooke. How many will attend WSAZ?

I have nothing negative to say about how the tournament is ran and the current organizer of the State event (I do believe it could be shorten to a two day tournament). Thank you Mr Archer for stepping up and handling a good organized event! There is always room for improvement and the improvements n...

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...

Any idea what teams will attend this weekends event?

Kind of hard to go outside of Bearhugger's rankings and predict. But IF the kids make their projected weight. I have a few names:
106 Casuccio
126 Smith
132 Raike
138 Bartee
152 Hall
182 Williams
HWT Frazier , Meador match of the tournament in AA for Champ if both make finals.

mriggleman, how dumb are the people choosing the new coach? I sure you agree with them because you are also now a coach. My sons will never wear Blue and Gold now! Politics and who's grandfather had money should not be a factor in such decisions. I just heard who applied, and there was no compariso...

Individual pools are wrestled and depending on how many pools there are either the the winner of or top two move into a bracket. This style of tournament is common in Ohio and guaranteed to get the wrestlers 4-5 matches in but also crowns an individual champion. We attended a tournament in Ohio las...

Even though it's still early; with the off season duals and/or tournaments that have taken place over the last 30 days. Has there been any news of weigh class changes on Bear's rankings. I'm sure that most upper class-men (jr & Sr) have figured out or set their weight. The underclassmen are stil...

I believe Humphreys won 3 state titles without South's help, did he not? South can't claim he is a 4 time champ for them, he is a 1 time champ for south. He won his 3 somewhere else. Wasn't claiming Humprheys as a South 4x champ, I said he was a 4x state champ and South lost him after last season. ...

Well looking at results........South had the same amount of champions this year as they did last year. They had less placers overall and scored 40 less points. Wheeling Park had 3 more placers and 1 more champ than last year, while scoring 67 more points than last year. It seems as though South reg...

Under the provisions of the proposed bill if a strike happens in the future everything stops including state championships. Not throwing stones but looking for clarification, if there was a bill passed and put into action after last years strike that stated a complete stoppage of school and after s...

Will be interesting to see how the counties that are requiring their teams to take buses to events and the impending weather if ok'd to still have event. I hope that the powers to be do not wait until Wednesday to decide. Bad weather is called for the northern, eastern panhandles and eastern part of...

A few things on my list: Place in the top 4 in regions; Check Review WVMat for Pill selection multiple times Saturday evening; Check Pill One (what is a pill?) (what is seating with a pill system?); Check Breakdown how your team is seeded in their bracket; Check Watch WVMat Forum melt down with camp...

My box of popcorn will be eaten watching AAA 285 Champ match. If the top two ranked make it to the finals. Should be a great rematch!!!

for region outcomes. Upsets and non qualifiers (placers).. The injury bug and the flu bug have hit some of these kids at he wrong time. Will be interesting to see how this effects the State Tournament and who rises to the top..
