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’...

While it would excite some to have an all combined states I would bet money it would not excite the kids and you would see the numbers drop in the sport also. I also believe if this was the way to go for wrestling you'd see Pa NJ Oh Mich and the rest of the top wrestling states have just 1 champion...

In a perfect world this works, but sadly it just isnt plausible.Sure you have 32, 33, and 32 teams per division, but you will not get full 32 man brackets out of that. You may not even get full 16 man brackets in AA or A. Each team would have to have a full lineup for this idea to work and that simp...

Smith over Boyer is NOT an upset!! They matched up head to head at WSAZ and Smith won 4-0. I went by the rankings Fair enough but the rankings do not make sense either. Truther , first off as bearhugger says here the rankings arent correct anyways.. And really, even if they were, i wouldnt say smit...

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 ...

Just for the record, at 106 Chris Smith had a 4-0 head to head victory over Boyers at WSAZ. Not sure if any of you all were aware of that or not.

Interesting that I’m still a topic of conversation as I’ve been an AD & peewee coach in FL for 6 years. Anyway, many inaccuracies in Mr. Dunbar’s post. I never bragged in the stands. If anyone remembers me coaching they can attest that I rarely set in the stands during tournaments. McCartney &a...

It amazes me that you have a 2 time state finalist ( 2016 champ AAA 106 , 2017 Runner up AA 113) in George Smith of PP and his name only gets mentioned once in the above threads. Not sure why, but he doesnt seem to get the respect he deserves in my opinion ! Seems like everyone around the state con...

As I’ve said before, it’s well past time to go to a single class state tournament. 32 man brackets, place 8 instead of 6. If California can run a single class state tournament , then West Virginia easily can. Based on population , number of wrestlers , and number of teams, it absolutely must happen ...

I’m impressed by the dedication to weigh in at midnight.

All of Crochog's predictions look pretty spot on to me.

-"Watch out for the ringworm"!

I myself have always been in favor of a single class state tournament. As stated previously, take 8 from a region and fill a 32 man bracket.. Place top 8 at states instead of 6. Then you hand out your A, AA, & AAA team champions based off the top 3 scorers. The overall quality wrestling at the s...

Took me a while to figure it out in my old age, but was finally able to find, purchase, and watch the stream of the dual online. Not sure who the commentators of the dual were but they did an astounding job of calling the action and keeping the audience informed of what was going on. They also threw...

I think the voters get it right about every year. I can't say for sure...but it would be my guess that if the Amos family had a vote for the Dutton Award for this year, they would throw it Josh Humphrey's way. It is this kind of character which it takes to raise a young man as talented and impressi...

If it is the best wrestler in the state, and not the best career, then the answer is extremely simple. It's the 4x Fargo champ, undefeated, winner of two tournaments nationally ranked, and #1 recruit in his class. Amos should walk away with the award 3 straight times.

Early reports is that Cass from EF wins 113. Anyone confirm? Looks like noise on board got the kid back in lineup if it’s true!

I would take bearhuggers advice and look at coaches names. The whole thing makes more sense that way.

Bearhugger,

what weight class are you inquiring about seed criteria ? we may be able to figure out what criteria was used and how it was applied by process of elimination.

Watch out for the ringworm !!!!

Gotta agree with whizzer here. Saw multiple people from a few different teams and the post did not get shared from the page or even a like from the page. Then you see posts from other teams and the pictures or posts aren’t even about wrestling. Then they make a post about “calling stalling on mom or...

78: Roberts 84: Camp 90: Freeman 95: Curran; Bartly 102: Wright; Parsons 110: Raike 116: Jones; Holstein 123: Jones 128: Smith 145: Knight 155: Casto ; Connolly; lemus 171: Moore; Savage 285: Mullett I know some of the names and schools on here.. But what school is casto at 155? Moore at 171, Smith...

Ive heard that wright may end up at 95 as well as bartley and have saw that freeman has been wrestling there as well.. Could all 3 of those guys end up at 95? that would be a dog fight !!!

Well, its about that time.....11 days out from WSAZ's!! Whats everyone's predictions for the individual weight classes and team race?
Lets hear it !

Watch out for the ringworm!

Top 3 were DuPont (4-1) Point (3-2) Milton (3-2) I watched Point beat DuPont 47-30 but had to leave after that. After looking at results and talking with some of their parents, they lost 2 starters for the remainder of the day after that dual , resulting in the losses to Hayes and independence later...

Any word on the pools ?
