Re: Coaches' Committee
I feel that the coaches committee for the sport of wrestling has always been filled with individuals that had intentions to make our sport better. My only concern is that if only the WVSSAC would acknowledge that the effort we put forth would have more of a say to the changes that needs made, not ju...

Re: Regional Seeding Criteria
Coach Williams, the critera for the regional seedings meetings is posted on the WVSSAC website. This is what we go by in Region 4 AA-A. Not sure who came up with this, maybe the coaches committee, but it is what we use.

Re: Tournament Operations - General
I recall one year my team wrestled at the Nitro Invite and it was a random drawing for all weight classes. Last year, at the Region 4 AA-A, we selected a feature match to end the finals. It kept the crowd there for the most part.

Re: State champions
I had one that finished 4th his senior year, 2002, in the regionals and won the state title at the 130 lb weight class. This wrestler was cut from the basketball team his 9th grade year and came to me and asked if he could wrestle. The rest is history. His name was Derek Metz.

Re: State of AAA 106 Address
mike.carmen, Your mention of middle school wrestlers being allowed to compete on the high school varsity may be a good result. I have had a few 7th/8th graders that could have started on my varsity teams. We wrestled a team out of Kentucky one year at the WV Army Duals and they had a 7th grader to w...

But still can't see if one kid, any kid, that goes to a school that has already been established (owns their own mats, uniforms, etc.) be denied the right to compete and a chance to fulfill his or her dream. I'm certainly glad that other counties don't have that ruling, ...

I became aware of a situation that has recently taken place in Putnam County. Our region (Region 4 AA-A) lost a team (Buffalo High School) due to the low number of participants at that school. Apparently the school board adopted a policy that stated that each school in that county has to have enough...

Agree. The selection of both was a great choice. 138 pound weight class may have been the most solid class in both AAA and AA-A.

Re: State Tournament Wrestling Pill
As a coach, I didn't appreciate the 'pill'. It can determine the placement of the teams, in a close race, can even determine which team finishes first. Not this year though. As a wrestling fan, it's great because you have interesting matchups from the first round and beyond. Looking at the AA-A side...
