Re: Clarion Open

With respect to Kolat I don’t believe he was even considered. I spoke with him on the phone and he was very interested in the job. He made that known. Not sure he did when Sammie got the job but pretty sure he was. Another top notch coach and recruiter was Lehighs John Hughes. I do know he made it k...

Burton Rodgers

I read in the paper that Burton Rodgers passed away yesterday. He was a football and wrestling official for 32 years. He was my mentor and a great person! He will be missed by many. Rest In Peace Burton.

Re: Finals Matchups

Keep in mind when you have less matches and less placers your scores will reflect that. The top two only from the four regions went to the state. More teams competed in triple A another factor to consider here is I believe, opinion only that our top guys are better and there is less depth in each wt...

Re: Finals Matchups

Seeding rarely works any better than the pill. I believe that if you began seeding the state tournament it would drastically weaken the quality of WV wrestling. The minute you start seeding, teams will do all the can to assure their wrestler has the best record. That would eliminate teams going to ...

Re: Inconsistency of refereeing

USA wrestling uses video review with one camera that generally but not always solve the issue. The expense is minimal. Flow wrestling uses cameras. Most big well run tournaments use them. Super 32, NHSCA etc even though they are used for home view. These problems occur every year at the state tourna...

Re: Inconsistency of refereeing

How about making an effort to train the new young officials in a more consistent manner. However I do agree just throwing them in there because they are young and can move may not improve the inconsistency because of position question. The WVSSAC could resolve or at least make an effort if they real...

Re: Inconsistency of refereeing

A lot of those calls could be corrected by using video review. The NFHS rule book prohibits that happening. That’s why most officials refuse to look at videos after the fact. However the NFHS is not the final word on whether this takes place that solely rests on the WVSSAC who will pass that on the ...

Re: State Duals

Several years ago I attempted to have the WV Duals but obviously never had much interest. My suggestion was to go the the front WV Mat page and invite the top eight teams according to what wrestlers they had coming back. Just a suggestion. It’s a great idea to have a state dual tournament.

Re: AAA 160 Shake Up or "Shook" Up

What compounds the sadness is the criteria for replacing the wrestlers. I agree that they should put in another wrestler but basing it on a winning percentages just encourages teams to wrestle weak schedules. How pathetic is it that you punish a kid for wrestling better competition?
