If only they could do half as good a job as President Trump, WV wrestling would be sittin pretty.

If he's holding on around both ankles, that's probably locked hands anyways. I say award the escape. If top wrestler would have been trying to advance position rather than lying in the ground, hanging onto an ankle, and trying to stall until time ran out, the situation would have never occurred.

Marshall used to have a wrestling team. I've got no idea what happened to it. http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/Marshall_University_Chief_Justice_Yearbook/1977/Page_161.html I saw in their yearbook that Darel Pickenpaugh was the coach. I believe he used to coach at Greenbrier East, back in the day...

Wait, who is Henson?

Brock Whorton and Luke Martin will wrestle each other in the next round of consolation! The match most wanted to see in season that never happened it finally will take place at flo! Unfortunately, that means only one of them can place. Chlebove has pinned his way through the tournament so far, so n...

Laya won 4-2

2nd period just started, whorton up 12-2.

Miller faces Chlebove next. #1 seed, PA state champion, ranked #2 in the nation by intermat. Huge chance for Miller to put himself in the national spotlight. Good luck. Chelbove is a nasty leg rider. Wouldn't let him get a boot in. Its going to be an exciting match. I'm stoked. I believe you mean M...

Miller in the quarters; doing very well. Whorton in the consi round of 16.
Miller needs at least 1 win to place; 3 to win it all.
Whorton needs at least 3 wins to place.

Tomorrow is a big day for both.

I'd call it a tight race between Lusher and Smith right now.
It will be interesting to see if any of these guys get out and perform on the National level.
I'd love to see them at Flo, Super 32, or even NHSCA.
I'd buy a flopro subscription just to watch them roll with National caliber competition.

So before the state tournament ended, we do have a bye. A default, not a bye. Two wrestlers will not be able to attend due to WVSSAC making a colossal mistake. Every Region qualified 4 wrestlers to the state tournament at every weight. Your prophecy has not been fulfilled, no matter how you try to ...

The 2019 Dutton Award is an interesting and tight race. I see it coming down to these four men in alphabetical order: Haga, South: Two time state runner up. Hodges, Grafton: State runner up and state champion. Lusher, Independence: State third place winner and state champion. Smith, Point: State ch...

There are quite a few schools that could take that advi've. I've never gotten the thought process behind padding your record with a cupcake schedule, racking up 40+ wins, and then showing up at the state tournament just to get spanked. Good job, your kids won lots of cupcake matches and had 15 forfe...

Two schools from rural counties, with approximately the same size student body, producing state championship teams, and national caliber individuals... seems quite similar to me. Granted, SPG has been doing it for far longer. I'd attribute that sustained success to the world class coach they have up...

The only one that I didn't see wrestle in High School was Chertow. So I can't speak to him, but I have watch all of the other 4 wrestle in in high school and college. Out of that list I would say that Rader was the best or most dominant. Is Noah isn't the best, his name is def in the mix with this ...

Adams is the Dutton award winner this year but he is not the best wrestler this state has ever seen . Ken Chertow, Dylan Cottrel,Josh Fisher, Mitch Smith, Brandon Rader, Chertow was a two time junier world champion in freestyle and greco pluss a olympic wrestler. . Dont forget about the guys that p...

Congratulations! I have no doubt he would have been even higher on the podium, barring the injury. To wrestle through that and place at the state tournament is very impressive.
Good luck in the future!

Just realized this was AA, so...
14 weights
22 not ranked in the top 6 placed
8 unranked placed.

11 weight classes 22 Kids not ranked in the top 6 placed. 8 unranked kids placed. 3 weights to go in AAA To me, what would be a more interesting comparison is the pre-regional rankings to actual state placewinners. After all, the argument posed by some was that regions should be re-aligned in accord...

Maybe so. In one weight where I was "wrong", AA 160, two wrestlers who were unranked all year, and didn't even crack top 6 post regionals, made the podium. I guess in that case, Bearhugger was wrong. So much for the accuracy of these all knowing rankings. That's 2-1 for me, since we're goi...

Thanks for the heads up. I don't know what I'd do without you.
I'll save you the trouble of telling me that Williams was 0-2. Save it, captain obvious.

Don't count your chickens before they've hatched.

Yes, it's possible to get beyond 55 matches, but I've done this many years, and getting over 55 is a pretty good trick. For one, nobody does wrestle 9 two-day duals tournaments and there aren't 9 two-day duals to go to if you wanted to. Maybe not 9 weeks of wrestling before conference, regional, st...

Take the MSAC results with a grain of salt. Several teams didn't send their starters. At least one team didn't send 1/2 of their team. Why? I don't know. I just know the MSAC tourney does not seem to be a priority. Nope, nope. I had it right. Huntington certainly didn't ring in at 6th. Actually, th...
