Didn't realize that tough road for him, Zeiders is a good one, very competitive class.

Probably a top four placer; good for this deserving wrestler along with some others out R4. Feel bad for Huntington and Stewart he is quality wrestler that would have made some noise and most likely top four placer.

I think both Flinn's placed 5th at Reg 4 in very tough weight classes. Both very good physical wrestlers and most likely would place at States if they do get in. Who is out if this happens?

Curious of the rules if by chance a kid does not pass skin check or make weight can the 5th place finisher or highest ranking wrestler not qualifying get the chance to wrestle as alternate or is this treated as forfeit?

Hallelujah

Thanks for the info!

Who was his lone loss to? Lots of luck this weekend

138 is a dogfight; several quality wrestlers and very competitive to place. The others will be very tough for the top three positions but overall a lot of parity at 113 and138

I would add that Ripley was typically a or the top performer in Region 3....it isn't just Parkersburg and Park South that made Region 4 more of a gauntlet, but all three of them together. Remove any one of those three and I think it is tough, but not multiple state level performers don't qualify to...

Keep in mind that there may be some wrestlers who were in the Top 10 before the regionals who drop out of the Top Ten as a result of what happened at the regionals. Conversely, there may be some previously unranked werstlers who enter the top ten. Yes. That is why I plan to use the February 15th, 2...

Intense atmosphere; lot of good matches, I'm not sure how many OT matches there but seemed like a lot of 1-2 point decisions. The only issue I had arena was warm but unusual warm temps outside too.

I'm gonna throw my top three out there. Feel free to add on.

Excellent research! Hope something positive will change in near future

For THIRTY years REGION 1 AAA was like Region 4 this year. Guess what everyone survived and didn't see anybody standing up and saying yea I will go to Region 1. CMON MAN let it go! :) Maybe this is why things don't improve? I know Region 1 used to be tough and still has a lot of talent in that regi...

This is the first season that once the pill was announced, there were zero comments made. Usually "pill" discussions always happen after the pill is announced. I figure the new regions were so shocking, the pill didn't matter as much. Plenty of good kids got put out through the regions. T...

I like that rule for the kid that fakes the injury or is out of gas, but I can see this being controversial cause you have to think about the kid that is really injured and sometimes wrestlers do flagrant moves to purposely hurt their opponent, this may give the dirty wrestler an advantage, I've se...

Frank as the Region 1 kids were in the past. Let's not act as if this is the first year a Region is loaded the only difference is it's now just a different region. This year was exceptional compared to others as far as Region 4 being loaded. I know Region 1 used to be also but don't recall so many ...

A lot of mediocre records at State tourney if they are accurate.

I've never been a big advocate of cutting a bunch of weight to gain an advantage. I've taught my son to work out, lift weights and keep in shape all year round. He does this and wrestles within a few pounds, give or take, of his natural post workout weight. If you're that good of a wrestler and tak...

A friend of mine several years ago cut weight his sophomore and junior year and struggled those seasons. His senior year he decided to not cut weight kept nutrition up and ended up making it to state finals!

While I was reviewing all of the cream that has risen to the top in all regions, I noticed an interesting difference in the dairy farms. Each division has 4 regions X 14 weight classes X 4 qualifiers per weight class. 4 X 14 X 4 = 224 total qualifiers. In AA/A, there are 4 qualifiers with losing re...

There's several other weight classes I would like see how it turned also. 113'definitly was brutal along with several others

This is information we have discussed on this forumn all year, but....several good Single A (and AA) wrestlers will be at home next weekend. I know the same holds true with AAA (espcially region 4) but come on, at least it was just AAA athletes competing. Some "A" kids that placed high an...

Don't disagree with that either Panther coach. I'm
Not sure what is so bad about two regionals though until participation increases.

I believe every year someone with a losing record gets to the states. The big complaint seems to be with AAA region 4, who is also sending wrestlers with a losing record to the state. I only saw three wrestlers not going to the state tournament with winning records one of which lost to the wrestler...

Unbelievable! Good stats and interesting post

Thanks you Diamond very well stated!
