Some names I have seen on twitter along with the ones mentioned above,,,,, Greg Jones,,, Ryan Morningstar,,, & Jarrod Garnett but I doubt he would have the experience level to be considered, maybe an assistant possibility

It wasn't to be tonight as Jared gives up a take down with a few seconds to go. 3-1

with the 3rd period fall in the semis

Perhaps it is too late to correct this match and the best possible outcome of this very bad situation would be the WVSSAC taking steps to make sure it doesn't ever happen again. It should be investigated thoroughly. Some serious allegations have been made about the assignment of the official to the ...

7 champions, 1 runner up, 2 thirds, 1 fourth and 1 fifth, 12 out of 13 placed

Braxton gave up 2 single escape points at Ironman and was unscored upon at Powerade. He also gave up a single escape point in the OVAC final. Unprecedented stats for a WV high school wrestler

I have also seen a picture of the bout sheet that does not have the phantom point on it so I am assuming the person on the scoreclock is the one that put the phantom point up. Isn't the bout sheet the legal binding score? The score display is just for the fans,, correct? Even In middle school I have...

The phantom unexplained point,,,,, I agree with you on this one Bearhugger ,,,, human error should be correctable through video replay ,,,,

In retrospect I feel that if similar situations arise in the future it may be better to stop the wrestling until things simmer down in the stands. It was very unfortunate for the 4 young men wrestling in the two 106 finals matches. It was disrespectful to those young men and especially unfortunate f...

In the final poll 64 out of the 84(14x6) wrestlers the coaches ranked as the top 6 in each weight class actually placed. 10 of the 14 top ranked wrestlers became the state champion and 3 champions were ranked #2. The only real darkhorse state champion was Hartley of St Albans who was ranked #4 in th...

I dunno guys, I'm just asking which is better? In basketball how about if all of the best teams are in one region, should all of those teams be in the state tourney and some teams be excluded that are deemed to be less worthy? WV did make changes in recent years so that if the 2 best teams were in t...

The South talent pool will not be drying up any time soon either. Edison & Blennerhassett finished 1 & 2 at the Wood County League championships scoring a combined 363 points and crowning 8 champions.

Patterson was the #1 ranked wrestler at AA/A 170

Those are very good brackets but my only question is where losers in the quarters land in the consolations. Do losers on the top half stay in the top half of the consolations by crossing over to the other side of the top half and then championship semi losers cross over to the bottom half of the con...

Give him a little time, this was a massive event and the score master holds down a regular full time job. When the results do get posted they will be top notch.

Conditioning seemed to be an issue in a recent match he lost. Several stalling calls cost him the match. I'm sure it is very frustrating for him to wrestle with an injury. He no doubt can not practice with the intensity needed to stay in top notch condition.

Although its not a popular view when it comes time to vote I have always thought the "Coach of the Year" is the coach who does the most with the least by developing the talent on hand. So that coach might be from anywhere on the list of team scoring at the state meet. If said coach had let...

At the rally the Union leader remarked That Coaches would be allowed to Coach games and hold Practices without any trouble from the Union if they wanted too, cause they didn't want to harm the players by having their seasons end.

I suspect you already know the answers to your questions and want to make your point. 1 each school in track can enter 3 for each individual event. 2 because "the middle school concept" is used by the WV department of Education there no statewide championships for middle schools. Events ha...

AA/A Independence 14 12* (wowie) Point Pleasant 13 5* East Fairmont 12 5* Braxton County 12 3* Greenbrier West 10 1* Additional trivia. Independence lost only two matches during region 3. Both matches were 1 point losses. It would take some research but I am guessing 333.5 points may be an all time...

In reality Rodney you have 4 brackets with all 4 region champions as 1 seeds in each of the 4 brackets. The pill seeds all 4 champions equally and if all 4 hold seed they will meet in the semis. The part people don't like is that in actuality the 2 best wrestlers might be from the same region and me...

We are talking about tourneys that take place in WV which would include Brooke. How could any tourney in which this years South team did not finish first not be the toughest in WV?

Whats more when you look at region 2 and 3 combined there are 35 wrestlers who will qualify automatically because of 4 or less in their brackets. In region 4 in several weights there will be a wrestler(who won't qualify) who would be a state placer in the 2 region 8 qualifiers format. I just don't s...

So if South and PHS were in region 1 in the past and region 4 now, why not send them to different regions? The distance would be about the same either way. Put South in region 1 with where they probably belong anyway along with their OVAC conference mates and PHS in region 4 along with the MSAC conf...

So coach112, attempts to fix imbalances = "giving everyone a participation trophy"? Would you agree there are imbalances in the regions? If your answer is no then we have nothing to discuss. At what point does it become ok to fix the imbalances so we aren't giving out participation trophies?

Its kind of crazy how we name a class A champion when a class A team in a tough AA/A region might not qualify good wrestlers and another class A team in a weak AA/A region might qualify most of their team. How can anyone hope to crown a true team class A champion that way.

I have suggested it for the last couple of years. Some just say no it wouldn't work but don't really give me a reason why not. It would work great for the imbalance in AAA regions but wouldn't work with AA/A as it is configured now. Maybe AA/A could be divided with a smaller tourney for the A divisi...
