Re: OW awards

Against my better judgment, I'm going to reply to this post, mostly because i'll be posting a text that Bill Archer sent to me. First of all, I don't want to take ANYTHING away from the three coaches and the three young men who won the awards. I genuinely like and admire all three coaches, and the ...

Re: Shockey/Giompalo

Shockey showed a lot of heart the whole tournament. He struggled greatly with his knee in the semi final. No one would have blamed him if he didn’t wrestle the finals match. I’m sure the CM wrestler appreciated getting to have a finals match instead of receiving a forfeit.

Giving up zero points in 16 state tournament matches is pretty amazing. I have to think that Cottrell is the only one to have that record?

Re: Separating #1 and #2

KDunbar you are correct. Regardless of which region you are in the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the same region will be on the same side of the bracket and opposite of their regional champion. Additionally, if there is not a clear cut ranked #2 I believe the intention is to leave that weight clas...

Re: Separating #1 and #2

It should be a simple process, just seed the 4 regional winners and if true #1 and #2 are in same region, they will automatically be separated. Just my opinion! The rankings are statewide and kids can shift around the rankings based on who they defeat at certain points in the season and what the op...

Re: WV DQ rules

Its my understanding that if a wrestler is DQ'ed they have to sit for 3 matches? If this is true, I believe there was a wrestler from St. Alban's that got Dq'ed at Wsaz. His third match would have been against South which was cancelled. How will this affect him going into regionals? I thought the r...

Re: AAA Compiles Team Rankings

The state championship will not be determined by the number of individual champions but by the depth of place winners. And possibly by which team is healthy at the time. Many of the top teams still have some good wrestlers out with injuries. I imagine they all will be back for regionals; but will t...

You're spot on. Losing the 182lb weight class puts a damper on a lot of potential football players wrestling. Honestly I don't understand why there isn't a weight class in-between 215lb-285lb, if you look in schools today they're more big kids than ever before. Look at high school football rosters ...
