Kids are much more likely to experience significant growth spurts during middle school. It isn't out of the question for a kid to go from 95lbs to 115lbs in a years time. Puberty is kicking in causing them to add bone and muscle mass very quickly. I think the weight classes address that by not requi...

It was an okay tournament. Day one we used three mats. Then day two we only used two mats. If they use three mats we are outta there early but got to make that concession money LOL. Another small issue day two they had about 3-4 breaks which didn’t need to happen: but overall it was a well ran tour...

A forfeit should count. A wrestler who made weight, prepared all week, showed up for the tournament and steps on the mat ready to wrestle should not be denied credit for that because the other team did not produce a wrestler to compete with him.

Fairmont Senior had Frazier out due to his official football visit to WVU... also had another varsity member out. They more than likely would have come in first place with those two in the lineup. The Polar Bears look to be very good this season. It is easy to argue "what ifs". For exampl...

3rd would have been in a pool with either the 1st or 2nd placer, but not both since the championship match was between the two best record wrestlers in the two pools. So the 3rd placer would only have a loss to one of the top two.

A short list that I am aware of, but not all of them for sure. I am aware of several others that have said they are going, but are not registered yet. Registration doesn't close until 3/26. John Martin Best/Parkersburg Tyler Boyd/Parkersburg Brayden Johnson/Parkersburg South Gavin Quiocho/Parkersbur...

The WVSSAC added the week for a very different reason than the NCAA does.

a high school gym is never going to compete with those facilities. You have to look at how much it cost to have those facilities for a weekend compared to a a high school. You have to try to get your foot in the door before asking the ssac to book a big facility. Which leads me to why I said the Pa...

I can't either. Looks like the webpage may not be updated/uploaded yet.

In the scenario you laid out, Wrestler A should be warned for stalling. From what I have seen, if Wrestler A stays on the hips long enough in that position he usually draws the stall warning. If he puts boots in and rolls the wrists and stays on the hips then it is a clear stalling attempt and shoul...

I understand everyone's displeasure with the pill, and in many cases it is justified to be unhappy. The other side of the coin here is that we don't run into coaches showing favoritism or trying to manipulate the brackets. Like it or not, there are coaches who will gladly argue that their wrestler s...

Yes. Wrestlers care about the pill. If you think they do not then I am guessing you don't know many wrestlers.

Nice!!!! Congrats Noah!!!! That is a huge accomplishment.

Their school page says they are in the MSAC and they competed in the MSAC tournament this past weekend.

Nothing on Track Wrestling. I found this article tho. List all of the team scores ad individual finishers. http://www.newsandsentinel.com/sports/l ... -rumble-2/

Folks, the best way to deal with a troll is ignore them. If you want to make your life better, click MaleMatMaid's name and it will take you to his profile page. Under his name and slightly to the right you will see "Add foe". If you click that it will block his posts from showing up for y...

Teams put on a tournament and advertise it, look for teams and try to have the best roster that they can. If teams decide to take the weekend off or go somewhere else then that is out of the control of the host team. Trash talking them for your own personal self-gratification is juvenile and there i...

@170 it appears that Hughart from Sissonville defeated Kee from Herbert Hoover at Pat Vance http://www.wvmat.com/scores/19scores/0105patv.pdf

I've never heard of (or seen a score with ) Brandon Nicholson of Notre Dame. He wrestled 195 for them at the Lewis County Duals and went 5-0. That is the only matches I can find for him. Found those on TrackWrestling. Did Nicholson tangle with Lewis County's Kuhn? Not at Lewis county. From what I c...

My guess is the pill would be followed with the strictest adherence...until the lawsuit. As we have learned, a lawsuit against the WVSSAC can change policy for the entire state.

Looking at it from a purely statistical standpoint, the three of them were very closely matched in win/loss percentage. Humphreys won 96% of his matches, Laya won 96.4% of his matches and Whorton won 93.6% of his. Whorton won considerably more matches than Humphreys (191 vs 168), but he also lost ne...

Typically Doc puts that out and if memory serves me correctly he usually does it a few weeks before the season starts.

170 at WSAZ Devaney beat Kotsko and Patterson beat Devaney. Devaney beat Daugherty last year at state, but they haven’t met this year so far. And Kotsko beat Patterson. So you actually have a weird circle of wins/defeats at WSAZ where it is hard to name one ahead of the other. Adding more mud to th...

For me, ranking the individual wrestlers is a problem right now because so many wrestlers are moving between weight classes still. I was skimming through and consistently saw wrestlers in nearly every weight class that regularly wrestle other weight classes. I saw one who has scores reported for thr...

I have seen some confusion on here as to why a forfeit counts as 6 points or asking if it would be logical to reduce the amount of points a forfeit counts for. There is a very good reason why forfeits count as 6 points, it is to keep coaches honest. Imagine the scheming that could be done if a forfe...

I do not follow international wrestling close enough to know the answer, so I am asking. Burroughs has proven that he is the best in the United States at his weight class. Has Dake competed against all of the other wrestlers in the other countries to lay claim that he is the second best? Again, I a...

Kind of confused on the new rankings, the results are the results. Greenbrier west, Madonna and wirt. 1 thru three and my sons wrestle for Madonna. lol. Unfortunately some coaches voted before this weekend and the National Guard Duals results were not goven much if any consideration. I suggested th...

Recently posted scores put Jenkins at 170 and Paletti at 160
