NOW NOW NOW

Why All the changes.

If you add up the points it would still be pretty significant to forfeit matches.
I guess it’s whatever side your seeing this, hard for some schools to fill a full team but oh well, thought it might be a good idea.

The sport is great but participation is down, and crowds are down from several to a few years ago. I get the resistance on changing things but shouldn’t we learn from mistakes that powers to be have made. Region alignment for one just saying. I get a wrestler should work harder if they lose, but the...

Why not have team duals to determine team champions (rather than tournament style team champions) and open individual tourney for states individual champions including the JVers

What is your point? This question is irrelevant. My point is that kids cannot just up and transfer to any school they choose to. You didn't say anything about transferring. And actually, they do and it's done all the time. A talented kid (behind a better wrestler) that is 4th to 10th best should no...

I have seen some confusion on here as to why a forfeit counts as 6 points or asking if it would be logical to reduce the amount of points a forfeit counts for. There is a very good reason why forfeits count as 6 points, it is to keep coaches honest. Imagine the scheming that could be done if a forf...

This may have been discussed before but I noticed several teams suffer forfeits, just curious if scoring rule could be changed for forfeits that the first team forfeit be six points (pin) second team forfeit (Tech fall points) third team forfeit (major dec points) and four or anymore forfeits for th...

Wesbanco is hard to beat in my opinion. South needs to expand the ROAC, terrible HVAC system and tight aisles, poor restroom facilities, great spirit atmosphere though. Parkersburg needs better audio (terrible PA system) and replace those old wooden bleachers (maybe use the aluminum bkeachers of the...

I don’t understand why some say just work harder and that whoever posts about letting JVs wrestle in regionals and states must not have had to work hard, never won or never qualified. (and other negative comments) Why not have a wrestler compete to make the sport stronger whether he is considered JV...

I hear this but just wait for the comments not everyone can get a trophy and life’s not fair. (Everyone gets a trophy sayers) Terrible if your a talented kid that would place and beat other kids from other schools but the powers to be just can’t come up with a way to let them (JVs) compete in the s...

Good predictions but there’s a couple sleepers out there I believe in 138 & 145. Also PHS missing some wrestlers

Maybe I am completely interpreting the post wrong, but I find nothing wrong or offensive with Mr. Maisel's comment at all. I am deeply discouraged by the lack of class and respect towards one of the greatest coaches in West Virginia that has donated countless hours of his time to help develop young...

I know this is a worthless, non-wrestling, post comment I am putting on here but I couldn't resist and it might shift the conversation. I thought it is cool that the subject title of this post was South and the conversation has shifted entirely away from anything about South. That may be a first. I...

JBee, I can remember when Indy wore mostly navy colored uniforms and East wore blue and gold. Beyond that, maybe someone from the schools can comment. East Fairmont colors are gold and navy. Indy school colors are red white and blue, not sure why they wear the grey singlets. South also has a grey s...

Bring on the B teamers!

Ritchie County will be up there in the rankings toward later in the season. I agree be nice to get results posted but maybe they don’t to keep the sleepers out of the spotlight

Really!

So South got a malematmaid and a shemailman pulling for them? I think it’s one clown tooting two horns.

AGREE

Agree!

Any upsets or surprises?

Missing in action three weeks into the season are Acerman, Fox and Wilson from PHS. Porter-SV, Haynes-SA, M> Simpson-Uni,Durrah-JM, Marrone-Wash and Moran-Mart. (Moran was the 285 for Mart last year that upset McCune from PHS ). He should be a placer this year at 285. Does anyone know why these guy...

If there was one thought I could banish from everyone's head, it is "duals mean nothing". I think it's really harmful to the sport of wrestling. Duals are the most exciting format the sport has. They don't last all day which means more people are willing to come watch them. They require p...

You will be able to wear T shirt and shorts inside where it’s always a hot environment no matter what is going in the ROAC. Wish they would upgrade their HVAC system in there. Parking is OK though.

What happened with the WV duals? Not sure who administered the WV duals but that went from something special years ago to no duals now?

definitely some good talent in that class right now

John Marshal, Riverside could make some noise too!
U make good predictions though

Pretty solid team if they stay healthy

Good post and message

Interesting

Thanks
