It shouldn't be this difficult to obtain scores. I was just provided this from a great parent. Clarifications will hopefully be obtained rather than making assumptions as to who was at what weight class in the absence of names. Bear Tracks 106 through 126 might need to be revised. Again, I do not u...

OVAC results, AAA Power Rankings in real time. 1 278.00 Wheeling Park 2 228.50 University 3 198.00 Parkersburg South * 6 155.50 John Marshall Regarding Bearhugger's query 2 posts above, yes these are "power rankings" if you take the Jan 13 WVMAT coaches individual rankings and gave "...

1. Bear Tracks is not up to date. It is possible that the significant matches you speak of that I didn't include occurred since the last edition of Bear Tracks. If you want to share one single example, I am sure we can figure it out. You can send in a private message. These "significant matche...

Here is a good exercise for all. Once the scores are posted for the Brooke and Williamstown tournaments, let's see how close or how spread apart the team scores are. Three points changes things. Here are some from the Winner's Choice: 5. Washington 128.50 6. Cabell Midland 123.50 6. Independence 12...

You hit the nail on the head. Work less, not smarter. How is that working out for us now??? We could keep everything the way it is with the pill. For example, the pill selected is "pill 3". Then run the tournament with pill 3. However, that one situation comes along where the clear cut #1...

182 is highly overrated and that is what Gage will show this upcoming weekend. I'm not sure anyone has "overrated" any of these wrestlers. I have seen all of these guys and I believe the point is that they are all quality wrestlers and all very close to each other, which makes it a more c...

I don't understand why we can't just seed the 4 region winners. Even if 1-2 finishers in region whatever are ranked 1-2 in the state, they can still be separated easily in the bracket. Region winner and runner-up stay separated no matter where the winner gets seeded in the state bracket. But the pi...

What is the format ? Should be a split bracket tournament. Loser in the first round are shifted to a new bracket and begin wrestling again. Winners move forward and basically operates as a normal tournament from there. Usually they place out to top 6. First of all, thanks to Mike for the team list....

What teams are participating?

I would think if their schedule permits, Point could still come and just wrestle South, unless they used that weighin for something else. Round 1 Mat 1 South vs Point, mat 2 University vs Midland Round 2a Mat 1 South vs Midland (106-145) Mat 2 South vs University (152-285) Round 2b Mat 1 South vs M...

Where did Bush finish as a freshman? He goes from not on the podium to second as a soph, then first as a jr, then committing to wvu, to beating some nationally ranked wrestlers as a sr. Was he just raw coming into hs or what. Just seems like he’s improved at an insane rate. I never saw Ian wrestle ...

I'm assuming that the updated rankings for the upper 7 weight classes will be coming out soon by Bearhugger and may shed some light on my question, but I'll ask it it now anyway. I noticed that Dom Parker from University is not wrestling at the OVAC tournament and Shaggy has removed him from the OV...

Wrestling in the OVAC tournament at 113 pounds, she has a 3-1 record thus far and is still alive in the consolation bracket. And I'm guessing she just became the first girl to reach the podium in the history of the event, as she can finish no lower than 8th place. Unfortunately she has to meet the o...

Word on the street is Gage Wright wants to go at 182 Wright wins 182 if he did decide to move up. I think it would be more likely for him to move down to 160, rather than move up. Only real reason to move would be from a team standpoint for the state tournament if the other wrestlers from South tha...

OVAC tournament starting tonight will add some information as to how the top 3 stack up against one another in a tournament format. Should be interesting. However, it appears South and University are each without one of their starters

To clarify, the grade reference pertains to their year in school. Senior, Junior, etc. Many of them are the same or relatively close age regardless of graduating class… I believe the clarification was meaning to differentiate between "grade in school", as opposed to "grade in the cla...

Also seeded:

Brady Roberts, Parkersburg South, 11th seed at 126
Trent Jones, Parkersburg South, 12th seed at 138
Ayden Edwards, Parkersburg South, 11th seed at 189

From the Ironman site I found the following WV and OVAC entries listed: 106 Noah White - Wheeling Park 113 Nathan Woods - Point Pleasant 120 Brent Bosley - Parkersburg South 126 Gunner Andrick - Point Brady Roberts - South 132 Ryan Martin - South Nate Shelek - Park 138 MacKandle Freeman - Point Tren...

Don't know about Bush and Edge, but Edge looks real good at 182 and didn't seem fatigued or drained against Edwards. He doesn't look to have gotten any taller, which helps.

vortexfan wrote:Is there a reason the South wrestlers went into retirement?

I'm guessing their heart wasn't in it or possibly they just didn't think they could break into the starting line up.

I have read the above discussion and did not attend the match (thank goodness). I know and like Anthony Carman and his family, but have two comments regarding the commentary about his match. First off, how does one make two mistakes and give up 8 points in near fall points? Did he tap out of both of...

Saw Quiocho wrestle against some of the top ranked wrestlers in the country, many who are now wrestling Division 1. Don't think I ever saw him lose by a major decision. Also would rather see him wrestle at 157 than dropping down.

If you're going to quote me do it correctly please, it was "Duals" and not "duals" .

This was going to be my next point. Morgantown, WV is not exactly a resort destination. It is not even in the top 5 prettiest and scenic places in WV. Most everyone from WV likes WVU because they have passion for their home state and they have an emotional connection to the university. People from ...

Used this deceptive topic title to trick all those who never would have checked it out if they knew it was actually about South. In all honesty though it actually is about the different weight classes used in OH compared to WV. We never had to deal with that last year, for obvious reasons. Was just ...
