I am super proud of Danny, my son. He is as good and tough as they come and he is a great young man. He has worked hard this year with the goal of getting better and possibly winning a title at states. With that being said let me say before everyone hears rumors, Danny will not be wrestling at regi...

I could see a good move from 182 to 195.

Sam, where is Mikey Shamblin at 132?

It's his prediction and it could actually happen that way, but I see some good matches at 106,113, 132, 138, 145, 152 and 285.

This is definitely a blue collar type region...everyone will work for a qualifying spot.

Misspoke on that. Meant to say he finished below both at Winner's Choice. Can't find that they've wrestled.

I took great pictures from the 22nd row!

113 is a tough weight class to rank.

Irizarry lost to Flint and Staud, split with Ackerman, but beat Sinclair and Lusher. Lusher beat Miller and Flint. And there are lots more in this weight class that have twist. Probably one of the harder weight classes to rank both AAA and AA/A.

4 are ranked #1 outside of region 4. Just to look at the toughest weight classes, 138, 152 and 160 stand out to me as being a dogfight.

I can tell you for sure that the refs don't make much. Most of them do it for the love of the sport and comradery they enjoy. Jeremy Callum was calling the South/Indy dual in Coal City and they had the taco/burrito contest during the middle of the matches. He came over to get some water and was swea...

Great job Jack!

[quote="jofus" On a personal note, in track you get DQ'd with your first false start, "to keep things moving", I assume. That cost me a probable place in the shuttles my senior year (I ran second, not first, it wasn't me that false started). Imagine if you got DQ'd for your first...

I'm big boned!

They don't want to give them too many bonus points for pins, but you're correct.

I'm for revenue sharing, no rankings, no reporting scores, no regions, unlimited weigh ins, JV wrestlers, girl wrestlers, unlimited buffets, cage matches and I'm a strong supporter of WVSSAC. That's why I'm often referred to as the................. 15171048_1814906698785102_4693903138620929724_n (1)...

Yikes. Several weight classes with only 5-6 kids. Heck I think the biggest weight class may have 7 kids in it. Found a couple with only 4 kids. So everyone qualifies for states in that weight class as along as they make weight. :roll: Hopefully the WVSSAC sees this and changes are made for next yea...

Good job young man!

Bearhugger, South had 3 JV wrestlers place. I thought you'd be all over that!

Saw a post on South's Facebook page that Woodrow Wilson's Tyree Swafford dropped to 220 and beat South's Dalton Fullerton 1-0 at Winfield. Interesting!

Why are the lower to the middle weight classes so close in weight? When the upper weight classes may vary from 15 to 50 pounds! More weight classes or restructured? May have to do with average size of kids in high school. Greater percentage of kids clustered in weights 120-160 lbs.? That is true. M...

I've been saying 12 for years now. Teams do good in WV now to field 10 out of 14 weights. 105 115 125 135 145 155 165 175 185 195 225 285 That would have to be approved across the board by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and approved for all states. That concept of ...

There's those pesky facts again!

I find it disturbing that TrueSouthFanInParkersburg can count better than me!

They didn't wrestle enough OVAC duals this year to qualify for it. More like they couldn't get enough OVAC teams to commit to wrestle them. They tried. Why doesn't the OVAC require at least 3 teams to wrestle them in order to qualify for the Dual Championships? That would be the better question. So...
