Re: Clarion Open

I was able to watch on and off, and feel very similar. Overall, WVU seemed to preform very neutrally throughout the day. There were a few bright spots (Carmen, Hall, Lautzenheiser, etc.). There was also a lot of wrestlers that had up and down days (Wolfgram, Roberts, Boyd, and others). Overall I th...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections

I agree the loss of Noah and Sullivan hurts. Noah was the last of the Henson guys so you are right Henson is in the past and does not affect the results of this team. I agree with you that it is time for our coaches and fan base to have stop blaming the past. Accountability can be tricky. I don’t c...

Coach Flynn is doing a great job. Losing Adams and Sullivan are major hits. What Sam Henson did or who participates in Greco Roman wrestling are non factors in the success of WVU wrestling this season. What did I just read? Pssshhh!!!

Pennsylvania’s District 7 (WPIAL) —which adjoins Mon County —alone had 17 of PA’s 49 qualifiers. The next closest w...

Re: AA-A regional alignment

If Point Pleasant would have been in Region 1 this season, we would have seen PP qualify maybe 0 to 2 less wrestlers for the state tournament. Lets split it down the middle and say 1 less STQ. This means the current region 1 teams would qualify 13 less wrestlers. To expand further, it is possible t...
