Big ten conference tournament

Postponed until tomorrow. It can be done in one day anyway. Only three rounds were going to be wrestled this evening to begin with.

Re: HS wrestling in WV 2019

As far as attendance, every tournament and even our duals/quads have been well attended. Regarding the loss of wrestlers, even talented ones, I think it comes down to kids not wanting to put in the work and sacrifice that’s required for the sport. It’s much easier to sit in your bedroom and play vid...

Re: Winner's Choice & Braxton Big 16

So you want to combine tournaments and have a the state tournament in the middle of January? I don't like it. Let Braxton County and St. Marys have their smaller area tournaments. Mat time is important in developing young wrestlers and they are not going to get it going 0-2 at a large tournament. I...

Re: Winner's Choice & Braxton Big 16

Once again Bearhugger, just because you don’t have the details, it doesn’t make something “confusing” as you put it. Moorefield asked to join the Winner’s Choice tournament, they were told via email, in the spring, that there were no open spots, but that if one became available, they would be notif...

I don't see what the problem is here. Bearhugger did not say that the people who run Winner's Choice (and other tournaments) don't know what they are doing. He did not say he wants to run it. He made suggestions concerning possibly improving that tournament (and others) to allow for potentially inc...

Re: Winner's Choice Teams that are registered to attend

There were pigtails at Cameron. I was there, so I should know. Our 152 wrestled in one... just more misinformation from someone trying to stir the pot. Learn before you post. Better yet, run a tournament and gain some experience before you post.

Re: AA/A Bear Tracks - Week Ending Dec 16

Has Vanmeter of Moorfield moved up to 182? Saw where he has been wrestling at 182 last several matches. Looks like he weighed in and wrestled 170 that day. Probably just bumped up for a few matches to get a win instead of a forfeit, when the opposition didn't have a 170. That's what I thought, then...

Re: AAA teams droping to AA

Until they change the rules about overall school enrollment, there's no way to change it. If overall enrollment was ignored as a factor, you'd have to find an alternate method of evaluating who should and who shouldn't be in AAA.
