Becoming disenchanted can occur at any age. There are many kids who might not begin wrestling until they hit middle school or even high school. They will face opponents who have wrestled since they were 4 years old. If a parent has the knowledge that their child was beaten by a more experienced and/...

I am more impressed with a kid who placed in the high school state tournament than a kid who was pee wee state champion at age 6 and then quit the sport. My mother had a neighbor whose son was supposedly a state champion somewhere in time before high school. I did see him wrestle some in high school...

I am interested to see Holley this season in action.

Region 1 has been tough since the beginning of time. Region 2 is weak in AAA and isn't reloading.

I still think getting the top tiered B team kids a shot at the state tournament qualification process will help the sport more.

It appears that University has a full squad too.

How many matches were wrestled at the state tournament? So far, we have come up with 2 matches that "should" have been in the finals. Two out of hundreds. At the state tournament, Burdette lasted on the mat longer with Humphreys than anybody else did. Smith chased the South boy off the mat...

The "powers" seem to change too much. A few programs reload while the vast majority rebuilds.

One crazy idea would be to INCREASE the amount of regions and then decrease the number of state tournament qualifiers to 3.

Has Keyser posted any results yet?

Throughout my lifetime as a wrestler and/or a fan, the only realistic argument against the pill is that occasionally, the top two wrestlers meet somewhere other than the finals. This might happen once every two years. A few years ago, a wrestler flubbed up and got second in the regional. He came bac...

AAA 160 is tough this year. You got Hunter Jones down there too.

195 has Adams in AA/A and AAA has Allman. Both are on course to seek out a Dutton Award and should meet up at the WSAZ.

We are going to get it fired up soon.

AA 120 is a bad place to be too.

Two state champs and a runner up.

Moore/Roane
Whorton/EF
Harris/Indy

Just to name a few.

South and Independence have a full line up.

Is there any other WV team that has a full squad?

I had a friend from Marshall University that had a co-worker who went to University of Virginia. Evidently UVA's business school is or was one of the top ones 20+ years ago. Anyway, this UVA dude was in the office bragging about their business school being top notch, etc. My MU friend said "wel...

The WSAZ will be here before we know it.

AA 120 is looking tough early on with:

Whorton/EF - Champ
Moore/Roane - Champ and Dutton Award contender
Harris/Independence - Runner up

Where is Humphreys of St. Albans going to end up?

Although I do not know IndyPats personally, I can add to his informative post. I watched the Lake Norman Duals last year and this year. Whereas Parkersburg didn't attend, all of my attention was on Independence. At the end of last season, if somebody would have asked me about Jacob Hart, I would hav...

One thing I will add is being realistic about where your son goes to school in relation to where you live now. If you live in Charleston and he wrestles for Idaho Tech, visits home could be rare. Also, seeing him wrestle could be rare. Will everybody be happy?

Laya at 106 will be hard to beat in WV.

Checked with a source. ACT

Did Simpkins/Ripley and Tenney/BuckUp wrestle at the John Marshall Inv?

My sources tell me that Parkersburg and Independence are both under the same roof today.

What weights are Parkersburg's Spears, Johnson and Donahue at?

Wow

Did Moore/GW and Crewdson/StAlbans wrestle?

If so, what was the score?

There should be some good matches here.

Why didn't DeLong wrestle?

Does South have any/many seniors on the team that are just not varsity?

Or....is this lone starting senior all there is for Class of 2016?

What weight is BU's Tenney at?
