Re: AAA WV State Duals Championship

No Wheeling Park in Region 1 and no South in Region 4. According to the coaches poll, they are the top two teams in AAA. I do realize that schedule are already set, but why are they not included? They will both be at South on 2/1 along with Huntington, but your taking the winner of PHS vs Huntington...

Re: A.M.O.S.

There are probably readers on here that do not understand the level of competition at the Ironman. Most of the top teams and wrestlers from all around the country converge on Stow, Ohio in December. Braxton toyed with the top ranked guys up there this past weekend. He makes it look easy when in fact...

Re: ? Forfeits ?

Speaking as a South fan and wrestling fan in general, I know South had a forfeit at 195 because of a football injury that needs time to heal. The problem usually arises in the upper weights for most teams. You have several smaller kids banging for the right to start. I agree with what the coach abov...

Re: State Tournament needs changed

Just go to a single class and leave it at that. Moving teams from AA/A to AAA just relocates the problem. Instead of having byes at AAA we will have them at AA/A. Problem not solved. Exactly!!! Have 8 regions of 4 or 4 regions of 8. There would still be 32 wrestlers in each weight class. Place the ...

Zack Frazier

After watching the Mountaineers fight hard and end up with a big road win against TCU today, I’m guessing that Zack Frazier is even more excited to join in the fun next year?

Best wishes to him at the next level. Maybe he’ll pull a double and wrestle too! 8-)

I know the South boosters/parents work very hard at many fundraisers to raise money for the team. Fans are very generous and involved also. Nothing is given to them, it’s earned.

Nothing negative, I just don’t think WVU needs another 197 pounder. Using your logic, Wisconsin doesn’t need another 197 either. They have a very good one in Peter Christiansen.

Congrats to him, wished he would have went to WVU but I’m sure that’s a tough decision.


Maybe they should have recruited him and made an offer? His top 5 were Wisconsin, Ohio State, Penn State, Oklahoma State and Va Tech, in no order.
