Re: IRON MAN SEEDS

Interstingly looking at the Ironman program online for 2017 it actually lists Drew Dunbar in its list of state placers coming to the tournament. He also just pinned the two kids from St. Eds and Wadsworth that are going with their full teams. Wadsworth is ranked 33rd in the nation and beat South by...

Strong word is that Carder is heading to 145.

If he arrives, at 145, region 4 will be stacked. We still do not know who Huntington, Spring Valley or Cabell Midland has.


Region 4 eliminates some good wrestlers for States

Re: Can't Ignore the Numbers

Agree with the open tournament for regionals and/or states! Probably should be thinking about the future and not wait until the numbers prove themselves and competition diminishes and excitement dwindles.
