Not only do we now have byes at the state tournament, but there are also numerous weight classes that have kids that have won as few as 4 matches on the season qualified while others who would likely be on the podium are forced to watch from the stands. New Jersey, Cali,and even Kentucky have a One...

It is ambitious to predict your team will have more state champions than it had regional champions. Though, most of them have as good a chance at winning their weight class as anyone else does...so its possible.

And he has a cool name.

This late in the season, a straight head to head match may not be the only factor considered. Other common opponent wins/losses could impact the ranking if there is a notable distinction in the results between two wrestlers vs. the same opponents.

It depends on how one defines "hardest weight class". 152 will have the most depth, with 6 of the top 8 wrestlers from the soon to be released rankings wrestling in it. While the winner of the region might be merely a formality, 2-4 are going to be a dog fight. Certainly the hardest weigh...

There could be some good matches at that weight.

I know the results are probably on track rasslin or Hillarys secret server but are Lambert from Hampshire and Moran from Martinsburg wrestling this year. I was looking at the high school all American list on this site and I thought it odd that two high school all Americans were not even thought of ...

152 Maybe Elswick should be ahead of Helms since he defeated him 14-7.

No angle at all... His win yesterday is a great achievement. All the people he defeated are mentioned, paint the whole picture how it is, not just how you want it to appear. Wow. Get a grip. A great win and the paper does a write up and you lose your mind because the paper didn’t mention a loss the...

Could very well see several of these final matches in the AAA state finals also. (Out of Whack!) http://www.wvmat.com/temp/18aaar4seeds.pdf 152 seems to be the weight with the most depth. There are 6 wrestlers in the bracket who would each likely be favored to place at the state tournament if they ...

also 9 out of the 20 for the parkersburgs squads are top ranked so on paper they make a huge difference to how numbers look. if added to the weakest region region 2 would have 10 1st, 7 2nd, 2 3rd, 2 4th, 5 5th, 3 6th. on paper and in general anyone that has to deal with phs/south is going to compl...

29 AAA teams, 68 AA/A teams. And I will wager that 30+ of those AA/A teams put no more than 8 wrestlers on the mat. Just looking at the raw numbers of how many schools are in AAA vs AA/A is deceptive. Look at the top of the AA list. Lincoln is the largest and has 7 or 8 wrestlers. RCB is the 7th la...

Rankings updated following posted results for Huntington @ CM on 1/30 and SV, Hurricane, Ripley @ CM on 1/31. Please let me know of any results I've missed from over the weekend or this week and I will update. 120- Salmons (CM) dec. Taylor 2-0 (Hurricane) 152 Hall (SV) pin Neale (CM) 152 Neale (CM)...

I am sure I will get someone angry at me over this (not the first time, not the last), but neither Doc nor score reporters are to blame here. On Jan 8th Doc posted the initial thread about rankings with a list of wrestlers asking for input. In the 24 days since then there have been a total of 8 coa...

The officials call it like they see it. They may miss a call once and a while, but most often its the complaining coach or fan who is mistaken. Bashing a high school wrestler on here, even if you feel he is a meanie, isn't something the forum needs.

there is a committee that votes on it if I'm not mistaken. setting the win total is amazing but i don't think that will be enough to overtake 2x powerade champ ironman/super 32 placer and most likely 4x state champ that has dominated wv wrestling. As you stated, the win total is a great accomplishm...

The records reported to the Bob Zide Williamstown Rumble for the South JV team represent their VARSITY level wins and losses. Their PowerAde tournament was a JV tournament; therefore those records don’t count toward their permanent varsity level record. Since the Bob Zide tournament is a varsity to...

I believe he holds a win over Shamblin and they are in the same region.

And I believe his only two losses so far on the season are to AAA #4 Lunsford and AAA #5 Williams.

126
At WSAZ Barker (Riverside) beat Salmons (CM) 6-2, following round Taylor (Hurr) beat Barker 7-2.

At the OVAC at 113, Gray-JM did not place. Johnson-PS got 6th. At 120 Dotson-SM pinned Isabell-GW. Johnson-Riv is 113 this year. Miller-Muss is for sure #2 at 126. Gooch-WP should be 3rd at 132. Neale-CM beat King-PHS at 152. Edwards-Hunt pinned Hall-SV at 152. At the OVAC the WP coach told me Nash...

Ultimately, its all up to the coaches. Submit the initial list of wins, and other criteria. If those seeding happen to overlook one you submitted, or you think of another relevant win to point out, you point that out when the first draft of seeds is sent out. They would make the correction before th...

I guess it is fair to say they are the 63 best varsity wrestlers. And if you are not good enough to make varsity within your own school, then do you drop all the way to 64th? I went to school one day when it was below 20 degrees. In algebra class, we studied 2x = 8, solve for x. X = 4. We never cam...

Adding to your comments on 145 Long has split with Timberlake, but won the last matchup. Re: Camilletti, a simple head to head look doesn’t work because several wrestlers have all defeated each other. I believe Long has since defeated at least 3 wrestlers who hold wins over Camilletti: 2-1 Dec over ...

Some results are in this article:

Region 1 has some good ones.

Perhaps recruit a few motivated individuals and assign some specific weight classes in AA or AAA to each for them to keep the match results in their assigned weight classes up to date...and at the end of the week each of them forward to you their updates.

You don't think fat people would enjoy wrestling? I am fat and I enjoy wrestling, so yes. I also know that fat people can lose weight to make the 285lb limit. It is easier for a 300lb kid to lose 15 pounds to become eligible at 285 than it is for a 91 pound kid to gain 15 pounds to become competiti...
