Where these Ind. rankings not started by a poster on WVMat....if I remember correctly he quit posting and Yosemaite Sam took them over and done his all class rankings and the coaches took the rankings in their class. someone correct me if I'm wrong. Doc didn't you get the coaches to do these ind. p...

Wgats next?.....Aligning the regions so the "correct wrestler" gets the correct spot in the bracket. Earn it....finish 1st thru 4th and punch your ticket. finish 5th and you stay at home. I agree its a little lopsided but they are not changing. check back in 2019 they will change but it wo...

"watered Down", just stop with your nonsense. I think that is the most disrespectful thing I've ever read on here. Make your points and get across what your trying to accomplish without disrespecting the student athletes and the people who make sure there is a wrestling program in the stat...

Those AAA regions look much better. Hope that you are right about Nicholas County and Oak Hill going AAA after they consolidate. That would be 31 total. With the loss of several class A schools by then, I'd say AAA would be hard pressed to take more than 34 schools when they do the next classificat...

Region 1 - South, PHS, Brooke, JM, Morgantown, University, Wh Park, - 7 teams Region 2 - same add Preston - 8 teams Region 3 - Capital, Riv, GW, WW, Princeton, G. East, B. Upsher - 7 teams - by 2019 this region will have 2 more teams in Summers Co. and Oak Hill(from what I understand both of these c...

You don't put South and Parkersburg in different regions. that battle in the region is just as important as any other meeting. Regions do need realigned but you can not separate those 2. I do like the 2 region format with 8 from each region going. that will make for good regional tournaments. you w...

you have some consolidations going on down south in the next few years that will make at least 2 more AAA schools. The Eastern Panhandle is busting at the seams and growing everyday, you will have more schools opened over there in the next 4 to 8 years.

A ranked wrestler gets beat and doesn't make make the state tournament. wow that is terrible........ we must do something to make sure he goes. A regional Champ gets beat on the first night. just awe full............we must stop this kind of none sense, this cant happen. Regions have not been fair f...

Rankings mean nothing when it comes to regionals. Every kid who goes has an equal shot. Last year in AAA 160, Region 4, my son was unranked and beat out one ranked kids to Punch his ticket and another ranked kid also lost out. If a kid is " left out" it's because he got beat. Period. That...

We already have kids who transfer schools, legal or illegal. Over the years some of the best teams in the state had lineups with kids from out of zone. I do not think allowing JV kids will further tip the scales toward the powerhouse teams. I have been wrong many times and this might be another. Wo...

This will only increase participation for the top teams. If you think this will increase participation for all you are mistaken. If this was implemented you will see a weight class where the podium is taken up by 3 schools and maybe even 2 once in a while. The divide between the rich and not so rich...

Don't forget that coach Archer has a way of peaking his kids in February. Coach Archer is imo one of the best coaches and leaders in the state. My AAA vote for Coach of the Year award every year. Man I'm surprised he is still at Htown. Really shocked someone hasn't swept him away......................

The Martinsburg JV Football Team approves of this thread.

They plan on being at Wheeling Island in 2017 playing the varsity for the State Championship.

Get better and beat the varsity wrestler its as simple as that. There have been many jv kids throughout the years that sat behind a top wrestler for their entire career or waited their turn. what makes this generation any different. Entitled? Someone enlighten me on other states that allow jv kids t...

I wish I knew if you were being serious or just trying to make fun of kids who are in show choir. If you didn't wrestle this tells me you have no idea how tough wrestling is. It is tougher than any other sport and as the level of wrestling increases the number of participants will decrease because ...

Armyman, I think the link is up a little in this thread

WVU in gray

Sadly, the animal will not be participating at WSAZ this year. Schools in Berkely are not allowed to travel unless it is at least 52 degrees outside and sunny. Slim odds. You mean there is an opponent that can defeat the "Animal", "Monster", "Real Deal" and the "B...

This kid is getting some great reviews "Baddest of the Bad" - Bearhuger, WVMat "Real Deal" - Bearhugger, WVMat "Monster" - TrueSouthFanInWood, WVMat "He's the reason we don't shake the opposing Coach's hand, He pinned the entire staff and the Matmaids" - TrueM...

I seem to remember WVU and Ohio State at the Fieldhouse in the late 70's. I think it was after a South- PHS match.
It was probably a larger crowd then they get in the Coliseum.

I do not understand any football coach who would not want wrestlers on his team. You hear this a lot. Give me 4 Def. lineman that are accomplished wrestlers any day. also linebackers, leverage again to get off blocks.....footwork, leverage, etc. A wrestler brings a lot to any football team. A lot of...

What is the most weight a wrestler can lose? Is it a certain amount of weight from the initial weigh-in or is it a percentage. I heard of a wrestler a few years ago trying to lose like 18 to 20lbs to make the class he wanted in a couple of weeks. That would effect your strength and energy tremendous...

2 and 2, I think.

Thanks for the answer. Did not realize youth wrestling had no sanctioning body.....bad and bad!

I must be old, Since when has it been ok to wrestle without a Head Gear. I have seen a number of pics with kids not wearing one. Is it not mandatory anymore? Is there some new safety data stating it is not necassary? wondering

What?....this is becoming comical.....geez!

Your welcome. good site. I dont know how far behind it is. 15 minutes maybe
