Note to rest of wvmat community see how easy that was? Tsfip has a problem, voices his concern, coach Doyle steps up, raises his hand and says my bad I tried but it didn't work and I'll fix it. Well done coach! Amazing. Some problems have to be discussed once a year in a committee and then it takes...

I heard a rumor that Hodges is going to go back to 106 and Skaggs is going back to 113.

Input???

I think the victim wrestler should just decide to kick the recruited wrestler's A$$.

They say "iron sharpens iron". Sometimes it is "iron beats off the rust". I do recall seeing many scores last season. When South went across the border, I recall a few dual matches where Lambiotte and DeLong were the only winners. Allman was out with his knee. Lambiotte and DeLon...

vortex I feel sorry for that senior. You are presenting yourself as a supporter of him, yet even you don't think he can beat out this "new talent". Hopefully his coach has more faith in him than you do. With that said, a coach who has watched a kid be a part of the team for four years, bu...

I would put the OVAC bracketed tournament #1.

We shall debate this one in January.

We will analyze and debate this on another topic discussion. However, the Winner's Choice would be a "winning choice" for Braxton County. Great tournament and closer to home.

Please elaborate. Are you saying that the more teams that enter, it causes some challenges? I would think with all of the forfeits most teams possess, letting Braxton County in would almost go unnoticed.

I wouldn't want to predict who will be in what weight class just yet, but I am excited about this years team. Obviously we lost a great wrestler when Levi Jarvis graduated. On the upside, we return six state qualifiers, three of which placed. We also have some solid freshman coming in like Logan Co...

Good luck to the kids traveling north Saturday.

SOUTH !

According to my good friend "Truesouthfaninatreestand", the wrestle offs continue today. 170 is not finalized yet.

Grafton has some good kids due back.

What weight classes are they in?

ZZChooseTop wrote:Thought 126 was halls weight?

It might be. That kid floats around like a Ghost. He is 132 this weekend.

I know of two schools that had some wrestle offs that were worthy of state tournament matches. One school has a state tournament place winner on JV as of now. Another school has a top freshman on JV. *****We will start up the "JV getting to wrestle in the regions" discussion after we see s...

138 in AA/A is looking like a gooooooooood weight class this season. 1. Harris/Independence. 2x finalist and third place last season. Go look at the who's who that has denied him a state title and then look at their resume. Slated for 138 this season. 2. Cook/Madonna. Runner up at 132 last season. ...

The 132lb weight class could be very interesting at the OVAC tournament. It looks like we could see South's Luke Martin vs Weir's Caleb Rea vs. Oak Glen's Peyton Hall. Martin and Rea went 1-1 last season. Also, we could see these three go at it at South's ROAC on January 10th, 2018. Mark your calend...

If the coach runs an honest and ethical wrestle off, then the wrestlers will decide who is varsity and who is not. That is where you need the most ethics placed. The most talented and/or hardest working should prevail.

126, 132 and 138 are projected to be filled with substantial talent. So much talent, 120 and 145 will evolve to be slightly tougher come February.

Plenty of tough individuals throughout the state to give the wrestlers from these 3-4 schools plenty of fits.

On December 21st, South vs. East Fairmont vs Independence.

Somebody has raised the idea of getting Parkersburg High School invited and making this evening a Super Quad!

This would put the two best AAA and two best AA schools under the same roof.

Gator wrote:I’m glad we get to see both these teams at the ROAC, one month from today!

The motion was made on another topic to get PHS invited and make it a quad.

Second best AAA team? Sounds good to me. Somebody make it happen.

106 1st: Brandon Holt 2nd: Garret Danahue 3rd: Ethan Grey 113 1st: Tucker Windland 2nd: Mathew Simpson 3rd: London Bowen 120 1st: Ian Irazzary 2nd: Hunter Ackerman 3rd: Jacob Simpson 126 1st: Brayden Roberts 2nd: Joey Miller 3rd: Tristan Adkins 132 1st: John Martin Best 2nd: Jake Staud 3rd: Jordan ...

The rivalry between Independence and East Fairmont will make the season both fun and interesting. Here are a few points of interest: 1. Getting the best on varsity. Last season, both schools had "state podium worthy" wrestlers on the B team. This could happen again this season if these kid...

Winfield High School, we need your help to save the wrestling season. 1. December 21st is when the greatest TRI match in modern WV wrestling history is scheduled. Parkersburg South vs Independence vs East Fairmont. There will be some of the state's best go 0-2 that night. 2. Winfield High School has...

ZZChooseTop wrote:Pains me to say it but indy is best dual team and east fairmont is best tournament team this year.

Shall we interpret this as your pick is East Fairmont to win the state tournament?

I have read where the following WV wrestlers are planning to wrestle at the corresponding colleges/universities:

East Fairmont's Brock Whorton to Clarion University and Cole Laya to Wheeling Jesuit.

Wheeling Park's John Nash to West Liberty.

Who else???????

I thought we were going to get a good preview on December 21st with Indy vs EF. Now I am hearing many of the Indy wrestlers are going to Winfield High School to cheer their moms on at the "Moms of Wrestlers" tournament.

The first Bearhugger podcast is scheduled for December 21st. Gator will join me in providing color commentary. The first podcast will cover how to identify idiots on the WVMAT forum. They typically join "today" and then start posting non-wrestling comments on the same day to attempt to ma...
