Hunter DeLong wins his 3rd OVAC title at 182! 11-5 over an undefeated 31-0, Jud Ramage.

Different Weirton school, but Caleb Rae from Weir High wrestled his way into the finals at 120. Wrestled a tough match against Shadyside's Greg Quinn in the finals.

Luke Martin is an OVAC champion at 113. 10-3 in the finals.

And they saved it for the last match of the finals!

I think he was to make his debut at the WSAZ tournament next weekend.

Where is 182 Cody Rodeheaver, Keyser?

South has 7 in the semis tomorrow: Winland, Martin, Taylor, Lambiotte, DeLong, Allman and Haga.

Team Score: 1) South 151.5 2) Steubenville 119.0

South leads the OVAC Tournament through 2 rounds of wrestling: 1) South 101.5 2) Steubenville, OH 76.50

South advances everyone to tonight's quarter finals except 132 and 138.

Looking forward to watching a possible 126 match between WV state champ Jackson Henson and Ironman champ Tariq Wilson.

At least if it was held in Bill and Diana's house you were well entertained!

J.W.:

It was a little misdirection play.

Another one that stood out to me was 220. Wolfe of South is seeded 8th and just defeated #4 Myers(WP) 2-1 OT and defeated #5 Moore of Steubenville 7-3 both at the Wheeling Duals.

I can just see my friends that coach East jumping up and down!

Half of South's lineup consisted of Seniors last season. We are a very young team this year with only 1 Senior starter. Mason is a veteran team loaded with talent this year.

Coach, Bearhugger knows some good JV kids!

I wonder who's 195 bracket the masked man will be in Bearhugger?

Coach Cummings, David Jeffrey set up the WV Duals trying to attract teams for a dual tournament and has even suggested trying to make it a state dual championship.

Seems like teams either didn't like the idea or don't want to come to Parkersburg. Not sure which it is.

Great job Cole!

Great work Hunter!

Noticed that he hadn't wrestled for some time. Hope he gets to return to the mat soon. Best wishes Jacob.

I've never known Frank to be sarcastic!

Where has Jacob Hart of Independence been lately? Is he injured?

Thanks Bill but I was looking for the new team or teams since it's been rumored that a masked 195 lbr will make an appearance.

I would like to see Amos bump up to 285 to challenge Boyce and Frazier.

Getting back to the original question....do you have a list of teams Coach Archer? Would like to look at possible match ups. Thanks!

I believe that South went on to win the state tournament that year also Jim.

Refuse-to-lose: Well said!

Haynes and Hunter Jones have wrestling styles that make them tough to wrestle. Both are thick and strong. Hard to get shots in on them and score. Styles differ from one wrestler to another. Because wrestler A beat wrestler B, who beat wrestler C, doesn't mean that wrestler A can beat wrestler C. I'v...

I noticed that Robertson and Secrist were paired on opposite sides of the brackets at the state tournament and at the WSAZ's last year. Did they meet up last year at all and how about this year? WSAZ's this year perhaps? That would be a good match to watch.

Coach Archer:

Could you please post a list of teams that are entered in the 2016 WSAZ Tournament?

Thank you!
