My only point was that you were trying to make a negative point regarding the WVU program at this eatly stage of the season and you tried to validate that point by comparing the factor you were deciding to focus on by making a comparison to the other programs participating. So I wasn't trying to cut...

Did not look at the brackets and don't intend to, but did WVU have significantly more wrestlers than a lot of the other schools? I did notice from the WVU results listed on another post that there were only between 9 to 16 guys in each weight class and a couple weights with only 5 to 8 wrestlers. Wi...

Not really very important for me to know or for anyone else for that matter, but 3 questions on how these open tournaments work. I get it now that one loss gets you only as far as the 5th/6th place match. 1) If Jace Schaeffer apparently lost his second match in the 5th/6th place match, how did he fi...

Park's loss and Linsly's gain. Sorry for spelling Cottrill incorrectly. Good luck to him there.

I’d be surprised if Edge could make 175 and shocked if Brothers could make 190. Maybe he’s slimmed down but I just can’t be kid down Brothers at 190 until I see it on a scale. Plus he could be a 4timer at 220. Very slim chance of that at 190. Plus WP has a stud, I think sophomore, that fits this we...

The word on the street is he is going 145 this season.

Not being a smart a.., just helping you get used to it (like I am), it's 144 this year .

Brodie Emery from University is 3-1 against Ward and finished ahead of he and Tyson at regionals. Y’all act like he doesn’t exist removing him from the state qualifiers list and leaving him off of here all because he missed weight at the state tournament? There were kids that were literally ejected...

Get me a weight class and it would make my day to rank him.

I am also looking for Bosley, Ford and Roberts.

Instead of Roberts, did you mean Morris?

Thank you

I realize I'm being a little compulsive, but does anyone know the location of the 2023 AAA region 4 tournament?

Just passed Gage on the street yesterday. He did have a pizza box in hand, but I don't think he is anywhere close to 190, if that's the implication. (It was a small pizza box by the way).

Unfortunately for me I'll be out of town.

Bear can you shed a little light on this transfer? How about at least naming the school who received the transfer? As the Scorpions would say..............."here I am, rock you like a _______________". Fill in the blank. You mean like the boxer that Denzel Washington played LOL I believe ...

Didn't witness and wasn't aware of an incident leading to the negative team score, so I looked it up. According to the official final brackets on the state tournament page there appears to be only 3 wrestlers in the tournament from Hampshire, Helmes-Evans at 126, Goodwater at 220, and Staub at 285. ...

January 27 and 28

I'm not disagreeing with your original concept, but not sure of some of your follow-up thoughts. I'm not going to take the time to do the research, but the significance of "taking a full team" is insignificant if the wrestlers don't score any points at the state tournament. Therefore a tru...

On the AAA mat last night observe the person at the corner in the lime green shirt doing the video. As far as it being available to review I do not know. Did anyone ask? You have me confused. In your first post you clearly said it was available and now you're saying you do not know. I'm guessing if...

Not that it is important, but I couldn't figure out where the 108 came from. There are 14 weight classes in the 2 divisions with 16 in each weight class, so there are 448 chances of someone not making weight (plus the alternates present that would have to do so) . But Brent indicated that the kid's ...

You are saying "an AAA", whersas I was saying " a triple A".

if a wrestler doesn't make weight, it is a forfeit. There is no substituting at that point. He showed up, weighed in, and was DQed. If a wrestler is withdrawn before the tournament, their spot can be filled by someone else. I do not know the circumstances for Thursday nights forfeits. At 106 a AAA ...

You are probably correct, but my point was it didn't matter whether they did a blind draw, a pill, or a "seed" decision, it could be the luck of the draw that helped decide the outcome because different teams match up differently in a dual format. That was the theoretical example I gave, s...

I know that the State tournament begins on Thursday at 6:30 pm. It may be somewhere obvious that I am missing, but when do the doors open (I presume at 5:30) and more importantly how soon and where can you first purchase tickets? Ask and ye shall receive, it's now on the What's New page along with ...

The point of the tournament is to crown a champion. by definition,the best wrestler will win out independent of seeding. If you are arguing about who should finish second or third, you are missing the point of the tournament But is that the whole point of the tournament? Some would argue that deter...

Don't usually do this but I will put out a prediction for top 4 team scores in AAA just for fun in case anybody else has crunched any numbers. I'll admit I have picked a few weight classes going against the exact rankings out prior to the regionals. Not trying to be controversial or put any team up ...

I find it very obnoxious for adults to talk about how their child should have placed above other wrestlers because that’s where the parents think they should have placed. The truth is if your child placed 3rd and not 2nd where you wanted to see him/her, then maybe they should work harder and become...

Kay pinned Shiley for fifth place at the Winner's Choice.

I think I've pointed out that that is always part of the "excitement" on Thursday night.

Next season I would like to see a big tournament of 16+ brackets seed based on the wrestlers' last name. Pick a letter out of a hat. Whatever letter is picked would be used as the "seeding" starting point. Seed all wrestlers based on their last name. For example, if "J" is picke...
