The 2 region format (whether North and South regions or combining some regions) really should be looked at, I think the WV Mat fans/coaches and WVSSAC need to figure the objective for the state tourney. Is it to get the best wrestlers at the states to compete? (whether JV or Varsity) Is it money? I ...

Any results for Ripley vs CM?

Sounds like good dual matches for three fine schools, be nice to post the results.

Have a North Region and South Region open to JVers also; the Little Kanawha River is the cut off from North South Region that puts South and Parkersburg in different regions. Pick the top 8 finishers in both regions for the states. JV that makes it will be a separate team score from their respective...

Looks like 138 will be the toughest weight class at this tourney.

I agree that JVs should get a shot to wrestle in regionals and states, You want the best for the sport and student athlete. I know there are some wrestlers walking the halls that can place in the state too. I have watched several kids from pee see to middle school battle it out. Let's come up with a...

Just for fun thought we could post on what wrestlers have the most victories by pins this year. Not forfeits or wins just pins.

Actually I believe South has something like 10 to 12 coaches

Not to take away from any other weight classes but I think 138;145 and 182 will be most competitive.

Humohries 145

Any update on OVAC results ?

Does South have their full lineup this weekend?

Wow South was missing three of their starters and still claimed victory, sure those three would have scored some points for them too. Hope all wrestlers are back and lineup is back soon.

Bearhugger your a very sincere wrestling fan that I enjoy reading your posts. I agree just not as groomed or seasoned to explain it like you. I think you speak for the student athlete (wrestler)

OK; not trying to debate

I guess it would come down to what is the objective for the WV state wrestling tourney.? There's a lot of variables but the original post was regarding a talented JV wrestler that was unfortunately behind an All American varsity guy. I cannot understand why a kid like that which very well could have...

Congrats! What weight class will he be in this year? I think he will be successful with whichever one he sticks with.

Totally agree

That is interesting; I hate to see a good JV wrestler like that not able to compete in State, i know its been discussed before but would be great to see the best wrestlers rewarded for their talents. Another problem besides talented JV wrestlers is the Regions not getting the best wrestlers at the s...

Agree rosters change; but this is such a good site for the sport of wrestling it would be an improvement to have Rosters and team schedules posted and updated periodically maybe monthly. Just an idea but what's so difficult about it?

What are the weight allowances at winners choice?

I think this shouldn't shake things up much; I understand South was without 5 starters and a couple wrestling up weight classes. I believe South had some scrambling to do with their line up. PHS should be proud they look good from the results and are a young team. Not sure who all was wrestling up f...

What's happened with WV duals? This used to be a two day tourney? As rich as Parkersburg area is with wrestling talent I would think a lot more schools would want to compete during these duals.

Totally agree bearhugger; I think it would be a good thing to rate AA and A separately. Region 4 in AAA needs changed!;byes in states need addressed too, the best wrestlers should be at states. Maybe have some at large bids or do away with regionals have bigger state tourney.

Just sad that the best wrestlers may not be in States bottom line, I think for the sport this should be the objective for the decision makers to do, not penalize a good wrestler just because if the region they are in.

One of the 138s will not be at state and are very good wrestlers and is deserving placing in states! Sad the best wrestlers will not be at states!

Congrats to East Fairmont! Indy is a great team

I think for region 4 138 is toughest weight class but for state 160 is a toss up. If I was one of the 138 wrestlers I would move to 132 or 145. Too many quality wrestlers not going to make it to states and they are top six in the state that will not be there!

Shake hands after each match; it's just good sportsmanship; it takes a second and it's what adults do in our society. I cannot believe this is even a topic of discussion, this is something as a kid growing up and watching High School wrestling that for some reason I would watch after each match, I t...

To really pick top 5 wrestlers sure would like to know starting line ups with perspective weight classes for Huntington; Cabell Midland and St Albany. I think Souths starting line up can all be placed in top 5 and maybe a couple of their JVers could even be included. Indy has same situation and Park...
