People really need to educate themselves on how the process works. FIRST AND FOREMOST other cities have to put in for the state tournament. Huntington once again was only one that applied. It is not an easy undertaking to take on. Wheeling would be good site but they did not put in for it. The OVAC ...

Mason, You have forgot more about wrestling then most people will ever know. You choose to use wrestling to take you on a path to serve our country. For that you are a GREAT AMERICAN. What ever happen to if you didn't get a offer you walked on and proved yourself. OR maybe is it like it when I tried...

How did Dylan and Jake get there? From my understanding he has a verbal from the kid from Indy already? Just out of curiosity who did you see this year that could wrestle at the D1 level and in the Big12. WV is coming on strong but to have a candidate that wants to be crazy enough to wrestle at the ...

How but we organize a march for the education the kids are getting left behind on in this state. BEFORE we were about sports! Come on man, let's keep the priorities in check. They will use their education a lot more then then the .0000000000000000000000000000000000001 who are going to make a living ...

Ricky, You could make it a comedy show just reading some of the post on this thread. Everybody associated with new league should be very proud of the tournament you pulled off. Work out a couple of bugs we discussed and you will nail it every year. Just asked yourself when is this last time you saw ...

Well said Coach!

Well I have no dog in this fight but I will comment on my 31 years of officiating. They people who put this on did a outstanding job for first year. Sure couple of bugs to work out but this to be expected. IT WAS A PLEASURE to do a tournament where everyone respected each other. The coaches in my op...

JP, is truly going to be missed. Always a true gentleman on and off the mat and demanded that of his wrestlers. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Why in the world would we not want our youth wearing protect head gear. The have to wear them in middle and high school, WHY would we not want to? Then when they get to high school they won't take them off and throw them. (hence 1 team point)

Excellent post and you should be proud! That is why it is and always will be. THE GREATEST SPORT ON EARTH!

1. Refs do take training every year. 2. Stalling was called in 30 second overtime not tie breaker. If you read the rule book those two periods are extension of match and stalling should be called when seen. 3. If stalling was called that way it states in rule book. NOT many matches would make it to ...

WOW, is such a understatement for this thread. REALLY

Mason,
Just tell the Navy to give you a coupe days off and tell Dad to foot the plane ticket. I am sure he could use you in keeping him calm! LOL. Thanks for the service Champ.

Why don't we have a lottery system based on ticket sold. Pick 12 people out of the stands and let them call the tournament. After all most people on this thread think they can do a better job! :lol: Just saying! If this state had as many registered officials as bleachers officials the very harsh rea...

Stalling is like snowflakes, no two officials are every going to call it the same. :D The KEY is staying consistent in calling it, then you know how to wrestle, coach etc based on official on mat. I can remember 30 years ago you knew official A you could get away it, and official B don't blink. But ...

I have to disagree and think it was a great idea. First, not the first time the did this. Second we should be doing everything we can to promote a dying sport. How many people would have left right after that match and not watch the rest of the finals. ALL the fine young kids deserve to be seen, I a...

Remember something my coach told me 30 plus years ago and still is true today. " just keep working hard, nothing else matters, the cream will rise to the top."

Tim, I am curious to know your position on this. I personally do not think the ruling is out of line, I think for the most part he get the same as other kids. He should know to look to the corner every time there is match stoppage for instructions. I understand the part of other wresters can hear in...

Wow, all I can say have you ever heard the old saying. "FOLLOW THE MONEY AND YOU WILL FIND ROOT OF ALL EVIL." I have seen things at pee wee tournaments that would blow your mind. I saw an official throw a parent (coach) out of JR States and was justified in doing so. The tournament directo...

Personally think the new format is a great idea and way overdue.

Wondering how this thread went to "Thanks Bull" for the progarm he is building to talking about if a KID can or can not compete. He is a quality kid and unless he decides to transfer we will never know. To say he can't is an unfair statement to the fine young man. He has proven himself alo...

I think we are over looking the best choice. COLEMAN SCOTT Waynesburg native who could use his name for recruiting!
