I know this is a ways out but forward thinking on my schedule for next season: Is any Middle School teams running an early season bracketed tournament on December 14, 2019 or January 11, 2020? I have a few spots available for teams interested in the Holiday at the Hive tournament at East Fairmont Mi...

Stucradle Kids come and go in every club.... I think Zahid and Anthony are better off training with the Arizona team as they have guys there that they can train with at their level. Pico... great kid but no... he went to another club besides last I heard he trains with his MMA club guys. If this sp...

WV Middle School Wrestlers finished 7th overall out of 34 states represented at the NHSCA Middle School Nationals. We had 4 finalists across the state with Gage Wright being crowned as a National Champion. Breyden Whorton, Dakota Hagedorn, and Noah Casto finishing as National Runner-Ups. Erick Broth...

I would think the pill would be gone and this would replace that system altogether. But I am just speculating, but that is how I would see it going.

Hybrid System being discussed to seed regional champions and still separating much like the pill does, still keeps Regional champions and runner-ups on opposite side of brackets. Still maintains Regional 2nd and 3rds are on same side of bracket. Still puts champs and 4th on same side of bracket and ...

Nope, not me. Didn't run it, wasn't coaching. You be wrong again guy!

The reason athletics in wv high school is felling is a whole lot simpler than all that. The state doesn’t fund hs sports. The BOEd barely pays coaches. Their is more liability and administrative/WVSSAC BS that most are willing to put up with after thier kid moves on. The issue is with the value tha...

Yes, I operate track all the time and can start it where ever I want and whatever order I want.

Fully agree with you. My write up was supposed to show that it is not the coaches, tournament directors, high school teams fault and have also even posted years ago about the decline in population. I was giving my opinion that we need to get back to focusing on the community feeder teams, where kids...

I need to clarify the above, since I had one phone call from a person I respect, again to each their own and this was not a call out anyone type of post. This was a correlation of common trends that have led to the rise and fall of programs throughout the past 20 to 30 years. The grass roots cause a...

I’ve heard good things about the tournament.
Would love to see Brackets/results.

That is totally on me, I thought I sent these in the day after to be posted, will send them to WV Mat right now. Thanks for the reminder. JW

Every year this comes up, and appears that the regional alignment is better this year than the past few years. Only a couple of weight classes that are regionally heavy. Based off of the top 10 wrestlers per weight class on the recently released coaches poll. Broken down by weight class and # of top...

145-Lusher beat Cook, but Cook listed at #2 and Lusher #3 In SV1. Incredible match. Nobody knows what to expect if there is a rematch. All points were scored on takedowns, escapes and reversals. No back points, no violations, no stalling points, no questionable calls and neither wrestler made a flu...

Great post on the rule, but the organization also had requirements on voting in rules, the USA Card did not pass the vote as I understand and it was trying to be forced as the end all be all. Why not AAU, many youth teams and coaches travel to AAU Nationals and National Duals and get that card every...

I was contacted by a Coach for Team Dynasty out of New Jersey looking for some wrestlers for his Middle School Age Division for the Wildwood Duals. He is looking for a 77 Pounder, 81 Pounder, and 85 Pounder - Grades 4th - 8th Grade. Maximum Age is 15 as of 12/31/2018. Weigh-Ins are Thursday February...

Brackets have been submitted to Dr. Miller and should be posted soon. Congrats to Point Pleasant. Small number of teams, but highly competitive tournament bringing a good sample from all parts of the state. Jackson was supposed to attend but had to withdraw at the last minute. Will take confirmation...

J.W., so you’re the one stirring trouble on here?

No just found it all funny, so figured that is why the guy wasn't where he said he would be.

Red hoodie was dirty, did not get dry in time. Check for guy with no hoodie.

I like it.

mike.carmen, Your mention of middle school wrestlers being allowed to compete on the high school varsity may be a good result. I have had a few 7th/8th graders that could have started on my varsity teams. We wrestled a team out of Kentucky one year at the WV Army Duals and they had a 7th grader to ...
