terrible idea wv wrestling is watered down enough! Still 2 tournaments with the same number of wrestlers. Only differences are that the A/AA would become much weaker and you give out an extra team trophy. The AAAA/AAA tournament would be much tougher. Can you imagine if that was used this year havi...

Pound for pound is so tough to rank because they can't actually wrestle each other. So you can only go by how much they dominated their class. Was there anyone close to them in their class? Going on only what I saw at the state tourney I would think Gage would be at the top of that list. I also thin...

In the definition it says "the best wrestler in the state each year" so why would the 3 previous years be considered? With that said though I would be shocked if GQ doesn't win the award. If it were based on just this year though I would think a case could be made for the Spring Mills kid ...

I am thankful for what the site administrator does here on WV MAT. As a coach over the years my interest has been wrestling which is covered well here and maintained throughout the years. To keep the site up and running you have to pay to have the site hosted on something like Go Daddy. The administ...

The only form of possible seeding we had available before the tourney were the final set of rankings published here on WVmat. Below is an analysis of just how the voters in that poll did in predicting the outcome of the tournament. 106 1. Matthew Dolan - 10, Spring Mills 1st 2. Brady Roberts - 10, P...

In my opinion the argument for seeding would be more valid in consideration of the team point situation. I know that in 1977 the top 4 teams were separated by only 3 1/2 points and as of right now this years class A point spread is only 1 1/2 points among the top 3 teams

They finally just got them caught up a few minutes ago, they had been stuck at 126 for a couple hours, https://sikorasoftsystems.com/WVAA/Brackets/Final/939939FullBrackets.pdf

Analysis of final results, there were 9 dec., avg score 6.85 to 1.42, 1 maj. dec., 3 falls, 1 inj. def., six matches in were jeopardy until final whistle which I judged as being 4 or less points and yes there are super rare occasions when a 5 point deficit is overcome in less than 10 seconds (Riggs-...

And the first fall is recorded at 11:08 AM

Back in December I wasn't sure we would even get to this point so it is kind of like the night before Christmas for me. As far as predictions it looks like the usual suspects are as strong as ever.

Too bad Point and South couldn't have wrestled to determine an all class duals champion,,, now that would have been fun but I guess they will wrestle in a couple days anyway. That should be an awesome match up

They are on the scores page but I have a question,, it shows SM scoring 24 against South but I only see 18, two falls and two decisions so was it 18 or 24 with a 6 point score missing from the individual results?

I hadn't thought of that,, might be added motivation for a kid to take the offer. He could be on a very short list of 5 timers,, maybe the only one,,, ever,,, because I doubt a pandemic will happen anytime soon.

If you don't want to the story it says that a bill is moving through the legislature to give kids the chance to repeat this grade and gain another year of athletic participation. Thoughts? https://wvmetronews.com/2021/03/18/house-committee-approves-bill-to-allow-for-extra-year-of-school-sports/

Interesting,, all forfeits in that last dual until 285 and then they wrestled for the team win.

Can someone explain what is going on with the NCAA slots awarded to the conference? I read on a board somewhere that they are withholding slots and making those a sort of wildcard selections to give out after the conference tourney's. Is this related to the virus? I know the Ivy is not wrestling whi...

Question: Is the award based on career accomplishments or on this seasons accomplishments?

WVSSAC shows about 25 on South's roster and 20 on the PHS roster but those are not always the most reliable

I guess they wanted to start things off with a bang. It is at South at 7pm. Anyone have anything at all as far as line ups etc?

On today's map only 4 counties remain orange with three of those nearing the gold level. Only the smallest population county Wirt remains in the red danger zone. Things are definitely looking up.

Will there be any regional brackets full enough to require a kid to go 6 actual matches? I don't see that happening but I am not totally familiar with the A/AA side of things

The good news is that the color map does not seem like it is going to be a problem. Now if schools can avoid covid quarantines we should be set for a decent season. To be honest, a month ago I had my doubts.

Disappointing day for WVU that showed that while the program is progressing, it still has a ways to go

WVU, OK State, Missouri & Wyoming will place their starting lineups into an 8 man bracket and fill them out with extras. In addition to the Mountaineers' starting lineup, junior Caleb Rea (141), redshirt freshman Anthony Carman (184) and freshmen Anthony D'Alesio (174) and Caleb Dowling (157) ar...

Anyone interested can check out the map here https://dhhr.wv.gov/COVID-19/Pages/default.aspx

Well Berkley dropped from 30 sumthin yesterday to under 7 in one day and Wayne jumped up to 38.07 in one day also. So maybe everyone will be ok by Monday. Let's hope so anyway

Berkley, Hampshire and Hardy are the only 3 counties left as red on the latest map. None of those 3 are even close to the numbers needed to get to orange. So Martinsburg, Hedgesville, Spring Mills, Hampshire, East Hardy and Moorefield high schools will be getting a late start on wrestling season. Ho...

So as teams are ready to get started only 6 counties remain red on todays map. It does indeed look like we will have a season. Hopefully it turns out a little better than the fall seasons did.

Thanks coach
