Are you certain no points were scored?

There is no need to call into question the character of the boy. Seeing some on here acting like he should pack up the trophy and mail it to coal city is a bit ridiculous. If you feel the need to call someone out, let it be the adults (officials, coaches, WVSSAC).

There should be a rule to be considered for this award you had to spend the majority of your wrestling career at your home high school. Not jump around to get the best practice partners. If someone is the best, they are the best. It does not matter if they transferred schools. Sounds like a persona...

I think this goes deeper than a wrestling match. I agree this should have been handled immediately by the coaches, officials, tournament director and the WVSSAC. Every adult associated with this situation has/had the duty and obligation to help and teach these young wrestlers how to become honest, ...

I was up in the stands with others trying to figure where the extra point came from right before you challenged the call which ignorant people don’t know that it’s part of your job being a coach. If those same ignorant people’s kid was in that same position and you didn’t challenge it. It would hav...

It’s results driven. There really isn’t a “vote” on the wrestlers. Coaches can offer feedback...which typically means match results that might dictate a modification

Remember tho there were ramblings of noah Adams winning NCAA titles. Personally I wish Amos and Adams could’ve wrestled I think Amos wins EASY No disrespect to Braxton, he is a very talented wrestler of high prestige, no doubt. But if you think that Amos would beat Adams easily you have not been fo...

What do these numbers demonstrate?

Finalist being in the championship match.
Placer being someone in the top 6 on the podium.

Finalist: Region I - 18% Region II - 11% Region III - 7% Region IV - 64% Placers: Region I - 25% Region II - 13% Region III - 18% Region IV - 44% And just because I was curious on the numbers...Region IV numbers not counting Parkersburg South: Finalist: 32% Placers: 30% And Region IV numbers not co...

Pretty sure his opponents had one or more points in the tournament.

I saw the Tyler Consolidated 285 has scratched. He had the potential to place high.

Told by who? And how would they know what each individual counties superintendent would do, seemingly before even they knew? Seems like they would have had to speculate what they would do. And for the record, I didnt speculate as to anything. I never said wrestlers would not be allowed to go. I ass...

Everything the teachers have posted have been proven accurate. Use the information the teachers are giving. So far, we are 100%. We were told everyone was going to states, and that has been proven true. Stop with speculation, use the information. We all got riled up for no reason whatsoever. If we ...

I’m not aware of any others

I’m surprised that so many are ok with our state having hundreds of vacancies. The teachers are fighting for these kids. I appreciate they see that until the system is fixed, you can expect the best to leave for a chance to make some money. It’s sad so many are worried about little things that aren...

I've just changed my hotel reservations for states to July 12th and 13th. This will avoid the teacher's (strike, demonstration, walk out or work stoppage). Most families will have to cancel their summer vacations. This message is only for a chuckle. If you can't laugh at yourself......well..... P.S...

You can type that it is a strike 100 times...and I’ll correct you 100 times. Teddy Bear...you know this isn’t a strike. As does everyone else in state. Need your stirring rod? What is it then? Just curious. And will school be closed on Thursday and Friday? If so, I’m not sure it matters what it is ...

Might we be getting a tad carried away ? Not sure that comparing this situation , ( which has yet to come to fruition), to a geopolitical decision involving the Olympics is an appropriate analogy. Lol. And is it truly the wrestler’s “right” to compete in a High School wrestling tournament? I, of co...

Hopefully you are correct. All media reports have made it sound like it’s up to each county whether wrestlers get to participate.

I am sure that will do wonders for the middle school wrestling programs. I'm not saying all the middle school kids but the ones who are talented enough to start should have the choice. But that is not the way it would work. Every parent who dislikes the middle school coach and thinks their Little J...

9th graders are too weak to beat anyone. This isn't middle school. Come on!

With the above being said, it would seem to me that a more developed plan is needed than the few random individuals scattered over several months contacting their school administrators with no real plan for any follow-up. I personally am frustrated because I don't feel in the loop enough to be able...

You can’t ignore the qualifiers. That’s what determines how easy or difficult it is to qualify. If you can’t beat one or two of them you are not qualifying. It is irrelevant how you fair against the non-qualifiers. I don't really see the point to debate this, but it seems to me the initial point be...

These old eyes are not the best, but by my count 81 wrestlers competed in the Region I AAA tournament while 160 wrestlers competed in the Region I AA/A brackets. My guess is that these numbers would be pretty close to the same in the other three regionals, but if someone wants to count and post tho...

While the odds of a randomly selected wrestler qualifying in AA are significantly less than a randomly selected wrestler qualifying in AAA, that does not necessarily mean its easier to qualify for the state tournament in AAA. That could only be determined by a closer examination of the top 4 finishe...

Just for the record Smith of PP has a head to head victory over Boyers EF (4-0 @ WSAZ) Not sure if anyone was aware of that. Unless these two have had other matches this season, it makes one wonder how the first and final rankings were determined? Im with you on that one bearhugger. Makes no sense ...
