Not specifically related, but closely related, do you think that there would be more WV wrestlers competing at Nationals, Fargo, Journeymen, and Super 32 if the wrestlers that did not play football, or any other sport for that matter had a convenient location to practice during the time period of th...

The NFHS approved the use of two piece uniforms back in May and Wayne Ryan from WVSSAC said that West Virginia will follow the NFHS and make them legal for competition. I was curious if anyone knows of any teams that will go two piece this year? Will Wayne Ryan and the SSAC start following all of t...

2 schools 43 minutes apart, not sure that really makes it convenient for the entire state. Ever thought about doing one on the eastern side and one on the western side and maybe reach more wrestlers.

REMINDER - Great opportunity to support the new Head Coach at Wheeling Jesuit, high school wrestlers to get their name out, coaches that can make it to meet the coach. There is talks right now of one of the Assistant Coaches doing a 30 minute seminar on college recruiting, ins / outs and processes t...

I would like to congratulate Brock Whorton on verbally committing and accepting his offer to continue his academic and wrestling career at DI Clarion University.

He will complete his senior season at East Fairmont High School and become a Golden Eagle!

noshowjoe, you probably sneak in the backdoor of the gym past the admissions table since the wrestlers are only their to entertain you!

What is that Frazier kid from Fairmont Senior doing? I asked him! Football is his first love I do believe. Very talented at both. Well, we love him on the wrestling mat and in May, he can do both. Ask him again. :) Louden Haga from Parkersburg South stepped up and said he would fill the spot.

Four regions. Brackets too small at regions. You can advance top 6 or 8. Do a separate middle school tournament earlier. Then 12 year old middle schoolers can wrestle both. Gives middle school more attention having their own tourney. Additional income for organization to do things State wide. Just s...

Wanted to post a thank you to all of the people who made this year's tournament a huge success. The association for pulling it all together, regional directors, Kevin and Don from TN AS I, 3X Gear, the officiating crew, and the 100's of volunteers that rolled out and up mats, worked tables, ran the ...

Saturday, March 18 in Mannington, WV. Next Level Wrestling WV will have a two session practice this Saturday at 9:00 am and 2:00 pm for anyone wanting to get together for a group workout to prepare for Nationals. Last Saturday had wrestlers from the local area, Eastern Panhandle and Northern Panhand...

Bottom line is last year had an like an 85% where number 1 met number 2 or 3. Those that did not were probably where number 1 met a runner up from same region and then your typical upsets do happen. Had all of the phone calls last year that they were all screwed up, where somebody's next Jordan Burr...

Region change is more within the Associations control and could be implemented quickly. It can also be "right sized" again in the future. I'm sorry but nobody should pay $20 to negotiate exhibition matches because their kid was the only entry in that class. The long term goal should alway...

Region II will be posted NLT than Wednesday. Finished late Sunday Evening. You can search trackwrestling for preliminary results. There were some round robins that have exhibition matches in them for kids that were in single brackets. Those have to be cleaned up. There were some top 4 placers that s...

4 regions and top 6 qualify. This makes 24. Still works better than the current 6 region concept with very small brackets. I like it.

Next Level Wrestling, WV coached by Greg White will be taking a Team to the High School National Duals in Virginia Beach again this year. If your are interested please email jory.whorton@gmail.com Those who will be competing will get the benefit of two or three clinics by D1 Coaches for free this su...

As one of the parents involved, I took nothing negative from the post. When 2 great wrestlers toe the line, only one will get their hand raised. Great matches, hard work, and congrats to all.

There is already a rule that covers that. Check section 2 article 3 and 4 of the NFHS rulebook. On site doctor can override medical form.

Reminder that region II deadline for entry is Friday. Please see the link below to download the flyer and get your entries in by the deadline.

Have another question for this. What happens when a WV wrestler wrestles out of state, in a state that DOES NOT have the 5 match per day rule. Who has presidency, that state or the 5 match max per day rule? 5 match rule is NFHS, all states are supposed to follow the National Federation High School ...

I lived in Kentucky for 3 years. All middle schoolers can compete for their high school teams minus private schools who do not allow. Yes they can compete for both ms team and high school team. Timing of regionals and states are scheduled to allow both. I don't know where you lived at in Kentucky, ...

Good stuff. 5 US wrestlers go unbeaten on day 1 and team looking strong.

Thanks for sharing. Great article.

Frank, have you been dropping hints or riddles all day long?

I think that some of you assume things that are just not true. A comment made about an easy title was made after one of my posts. My son is an 11 year old 5th grader and I said the 12 year Olds should have a choice. So with that being said I am inviting the 7th grader in so there is some tougher com...

12 year old 7th grader weighs 69 pounds, wrestles for his middle school team against kids that weigh in 11 pounds heavier all year (2 pound allowance). Gets beat on most of the year due to size. Finally has an opportunity to wrestle at his weight and his age, told no because you got man handled all ...
