Gator, A lot of us do it but nearly not as much as college. They DO NOT want them calling stalling in college plus they have passive rules, backing out no action etc. I would love them to bring it to high school level, along with out of bounds when applicable with mats. I do know SOME not many offic...

My point is if stalling was called the way the rule books read not to many matches would get to third period. It is a judgment called based on what is going on in the match. Nothing is black and white. Are lines calls not judgement? Yes the rules are clear on back points but do you not have two offi...

1. Stalling is a judgment call and you will NEVER get two officials to call it same way. 2. The key is constancy by officials to call it the same way for each official. ( Then you know what you got) 3. I have seen that official make the exact same stall call a thousand times. He looks for where the ...

Nothing but a class act! It wasn't your decision or any of the officials. You did the correct thing!

Talk to Dr. Dan Doyle he said Dalton looked really good! Best of luck.

NO ONE would have moved up. Once weighs in start that is it. Just like if a kid did not make weight! At this point and time it is what it is! Can't fix it or change it!

Jenny,
I bet they didn't laugh as hard as the year, Billy and I did it and you worked the tables. Still when I think about it.

Woody is used to he is an old Region 1 guy. just another day in neighborhood!

Ray, What can I say! (Okay a lot of things :D ) Who knew when we started this journey 30 plus years ago we would still be doing it. YOU are truly going to be missed on the mats. No one cared (okay maybe me :D ) about getting it right then you. It has been my pleasure and honor to stand by and let yo...

For THIRTY years REGION 1 AAA was like Region 4 this year. Guess what everyone survived and didn't see anybody standing up and saying yea I will go to Region 1. CMON MAN let it go!

HERE IS A SHOCKER, " LIFE ISN'T FAIR." Quit bitching and whining to get the so called system fair, that is not how life works. Get over yourselves and let the KIDS wrestle everything is going to be ALRIGHT! You read these comments and it falls right into give everybody a trophy mentality.

Every body take a deep breath it is going to be alright! Everybody does things their own way. Brent does a wonderful job as does Ricky up north and so on and so on....

I for one think the new format is good and promotes the sport. I never in my 50 plus years around the sport and on the mats seen I better run youth tournament the one in Huntington last year. YES, few bugs need worked out but very minimal. As far as amount of money made on Parkersburg states. Are yo...

Bear hugger as always you missed the point totally. When the comment was made Region 1 AAA consisted of Oak Glen, Brooke John Marshall, Wheeling Park, Parkersburg, Parkersburg South, Weirton then Ripley. The entire point he was making was doesn't matter where you are at. If you train and have the sk...

Posted this on another thread. But like so many other things in life seems fitting here... As a member of the Brooke team the won the championship. I will always remember what Coach said at a boosters meeting when the parents thought the Region 1 was unfair. Remember it like yesterday, When asked hi...

SOUPBOUNE, always said you were a wise man! As a member of the Brooke team the won the championship. I will always remember what Coach said at a boosters meeting when the parents thought the Region 1 was unfair. Remember it like yesterday, When asked his reply was, " The cream will rise to the ...

The pendulum has swung! Everything going to be aright !

Here is my take. I agree with Indy Hart on more duals. But I think duals should be a 1/2 point on weigh ins and required to wrestle 6 duals a year. Then in reality you are only giving up quad or duals tournament (the downfall of the sport in my opinion) and everything else he said is dead on. I can ...

Outstanding!

If you don't think small schools can compete with large schools in wrestling you need to go watch the OVAC's. You will earn two things. 1. No one runs a better tournament and truly show cases the kids like that tournament. 2. Champions come from just as many small schools as large ones. Then as has ...

I am pretty sure at Power Aid unlike Iron man you have to take the whole team. I don't think they have invitation only as the have a lot of teams wanting to get in. I could be wrong

Henson is being home schooled, wrestling in international tournaments and working out at Olympic center is word on street.

Bearhugger, My whole point was they finished above those teams consistently in AAA before dropping down. I don't think it will be broken because the kids changes. They bought into Larry Shaw system my way or highway. Kids don't function that way anymore. I think Independence has a shot if Cliff stays.

Gator,
You might be on to something. You are right you can see better from the stands. Now I understand. LOL NOT

WOW we must be board. I am pretty sure Oak Glen was runner up at least 5 times in AAA. What does it matter what they did in AA is remarkable and don't think it will be beat.

From where I was sitting it was a good call. Frustrating match for Jake, I agreed the kid stalled and wrestled not to get pinned. WE needed the pin for the win. About 2 seconds left in match he kicked him. No many people saw but all the Campbell coaches did and Kolat was out of his skin. When they g...

Can I join? I want to be like the Legend------------Jeremy Callen! After all he was taught to call the stall, call the fall, call it all!

Class Act!

Gator,
Region 4 is now the new Region 1. the dealt with the same for years. The cream will rise to the top!

GREAT AMERICAN, THANK YOU
