No competition at OVAC It was RD 1 genius. Who do the higher seeds wrestle in RD 1? Lol keep watching...

Let's cut to the chase. Eliminate the State Wrestling Tournament altogether. When the season is over have one big USA Wrestling or AAU wrestling tournament and everyone can enter across the board. Top wrestlers get seeded. Placers qualify for Nationals. Done. That should make most people happy I th...

I have read this.

The variety team is hard to get on. They have a variety of good wrestlers.

Lol you ever seen a ghost have to cut weight?

Is that similar to changing sheets?

He passes through the kitchen undetected and food mysteriously disappears.

OVAC Starts tomorrow...This is such a great tournament to just watch as a fan. I've been going for years but now my son is wrestling so the days of picking up the brothers in law, grabbing a few beers and enjoying wrestling has been replaced with weeks of extra practices and trying to keep a 15 yr ...

I, as well as others, cannot see the big picture but in most cases a jv wrestles jv only if he/she cannot win a spot. However, there are highlighted circumstances this season whereas a jv wrestler not only got the opportunity to fill a sick/injured varsity wrestlers position but also defeated severa...

What was the 1 team point taken for after 126# match?

Everyone is speaking on sportsmanship, but can anyone tell me why oak glen does not shake coaches hands after the match. I noticed it after our coaches were talking about them not shaking their hands and I kept watching them through the day and evening and it was all of them. I get not shaking hand...

Sorry I went from 106 to 138. Mike.Carman fault.

This is the exception and not the rule. Typically, there is another weight class they can move to. In this case there isn't. I feel for him but on the other hand, he has a great situation as far as practice is concerned. Hopefully these guys spread out and are able to get everyone in the lineup som...

Its a bad situation all around. So you cant win a varsity spot on your team but you are likely the #2 wrestler in the state? So you get to sit home and watch 7 other wrestlers that you can beat stand as state placers? I'm not a big team fan simply because I see so many on our team do nothing to get ...

I hate to be rude or incentive, and maybe its the third beer talking, but, we need he state to quit funding planned parenthood programs and such, in our highschools and start funding althletics. This will probably hurt someones feelings Athletics would be greatly improved by the decision makers fun...

My favorite wrestling memory(true story): I took my boy to a tournament, he won first place, he also won most outstanding wrestler, I won the 50/50 for $240 and they were giving away the left over pizza afterward. The End

The thing about going to out of season tournaments like Fargo and others is your wrestler is exposed to the best wrestlers. Over the years we have had wrestlers lose a close match because they were not use to the level of wrestlers where as our opponents were exposed to that type of wrestling eithe...

Priceless...

The Animal (Joey Miller) is the baddest 113 pounder in the state and will crush anyone in the tri-state! The kid will be a 4x State Champ hands down! Lol, good thing he is AAA and isn't faced with murders row. I can't breath... We might see the Animal face Murderer's Row at the WSAZ. Oh dear...ever...

Wrestling is a demanding sport. We (our team) have seen several kids quit as a result of wrestle offs not going their way and no dedication toward weight loss this season. Hey, I tell my boy, do your best because it's a small group willing to do what he does. It sucks seeing lineups w a lot of holes...

Where did I get tech fall from? My apologies, I don't wish to be misleading.

Back in the day you feared for your position on the team. Regardless,you were lucky to be part of a wrestling team, particularly with tradition. Now days ( I'll keep politics out) kids come and go as they please. They quit and then come back. Virtually consequence free and when that happens they fee...

Joey Miller Tech fall George Smith? I think Smith teched Stoud earlier so that paints an interesting picture. I've caught wind Jordan Wood is dropping to 113. He has taken a beating at 120 so far this year so 113 might be a smart move. He is a giant and if he can make weight he will be too big for m...

If you are satisfied with mediocrity then it's likely you will be in compliance, it's those darn people who strive for continual improvement that have no regard for the rules. I'm just glad airline pilots, fire fighters , etc aren't governed under the same concept.

I believe there were 16 teams at East liverpool. I think all but 3 or 4 were Ohio teams. Keyser and Weir were the only WV teams. I'm not really familiar with Ohio wrestling. I thought the team from Alliance, OH was very good. The format was different from any high school tournament I've seen. Each ...

I got a few question too... A high school wrestler in WV can wrestle in open tournaments during the season as long as he doesn't sign up under his school name or wear their singlet? His high school coach cannot coach him? Can he attend if not coaching? I'm asking...

My view on it is strictly related to the team my son wrestled for now. They do not shake hands w the opposing coach after the match. But every team we wrestle shakes our coaches hand. Maybe I wasn't raised disrespectful enough but I think we look like cocky assholes.

Over the years I've noticed several teams , under instruction, do not shake the opposing coaches hand after their match. Sure both teams shake hand after the completion of the entire dual but I'm at a loss as to why a coach would have their wrestlers not shake hands directly after their individual ...
