There has been some coaches giving wrong information about how much you have to weigh to be in that weight class. Can't believe coaches don't know. Example. A kid weighs 150.1 before the weight allowance is considered to be a 157 pounder. That being said he CAN wrestle in the 165 lb weight class. A...

It'll never happen, but the first and second place AAA teams at the State duals would be fun.

Perhaps some perspective from both sides is what this conversation needs. First can everyone please quit referring to these young men as "kids" or "children". If you want a young man to grow up and act like a man then he needs to be treated as such, and referring to a young man ...

It appears that matches that occurred 12 months ago have more bearing than an outcome a few days or a month ago?? Isn't that how they do it for the State Dual Tournament? No, there is no seeding for the state tournament. It is based on a random pill draw and order of placement within the regions. A...

Why do you not have Washington ranked higher than Arthur (who he just beat) and Pate (who he just finished well ahead of in a recent tournament despite a close loss several weeks ago)?

I was told specifically yesterday not to release the seeds until the coaches had time to review them.

And you heard that first right here.

That is why edition 4 comes after edition 3. In addition, the WSAZ will be bringing many of these top 10 together. Something nobody ever talks about when it comes to rankings, the rankings evaluate a school's schedule also. Was merely mentioning what a great OVAC tournament the kid had.. but thanks...

Tough to say… some missed the PHS potential as they were not even ranked in the top 10 initially. ( maybe those that vote can’t consider kids coming in from Middle School?) …If you follow middle school even casually you could see a great bunch of lighter weight kids coming on board.. So it shouldn’...

A team devestated by injuries or possibly other losses is Wheeling Park. Their 106 amd 113 hane not wrestled in quite some time and they have Lowe, Carmen, and Sands apparently out with injuries. And I noticed Washington missed I think some or all of the second day of the Park duals. That's almost h...

Individual rankings typically show up 2nd or 3rd week of January. fan rankings happen all the time. Bear, Sam both do their rankings if you are looking for a fan poll you, or someone would need to organize it. Sam hasn’t done a ranking in a loooooooong time … Funny you should mention that, as today...

I think more to the point would be to schedule the qualifier matches about 1 to 2 weeks prior to the actual State Dual Meet date, so that the rosters actually reflect the roster of the teams that will be attending the State Dual. Having them the first 4 to 5 weeks of the season makes about as much s...

It looks like there are 3 "WV" girls in the finals
118 Justice Anthony - South
124 Bailey Emery - Canon-McMillan
142 Violette Lasure - Chestnut Ridge

So what you're saying is PHS loses 9 points and University gains 12 points for a final score of University 36 & PHS 32.

They are on the scores page now.
My question is where is the school Blenny from?

mscoach152 wrote:Who won that match?

Myers by pin.

Unfortunately the system or method has been somewhat flawed from the start. In AAA , in the inaugural year of 2020, PHS was the dual champion despite being beaten 55-21 by South earlier that year and later South not in the dual competition due to scheduling I believe. It also becomes somewhat anticl...

Would be a huge get. Even tho I don’t see how Lawrence could hold 197 for 4 years and probably the same for Hogan at 184 but he’s pretty short. If they all could tho and If Kehler would happen to commit that would be a great group of young upper weights. Lawrence is wrestling 215 right now. Unfortu...

Unless it's just a temporary move up, saw where Liam Garcia for BU wrestled at 132. The word on the street from both camps is Lewis County didn't have a 126. Garcia bumped to 132 to get a match. Garcia contends he will be 120 and Cornett is going 126. Thanks Figured you might have had "the wor...

Unless it is a temporary move up, Ben McComas from GW just wrestled at 132

Unless it's just a temporary move up, saw where Liam Garcia for BU wrestled at 132.

It might be listed somewhere, but I have failed to find it. So what does PRF stand for exactly regarding your ranked freshmen?

Will the girls going to the state tournament have to qualify via the regional tournament?

NO

The reason I asked this question is because the South Wrestling facebook page has this listed as an event on the girls wrestling schedule. I did not think this was a girls event.

I know it's obviously early, but does anybody have an approximate idea as to how many high schools have a girls team, and of those how many have at least 50% of their weight classes filled. I guess time will tell but I was just curious how it's looking across the state.

There was also common opponents at 157, 165, and HWT. With numerous entries in each weight class common opponents are going to be, well….quite common. Isn't Robin the Varsity guy? Bush did much better with their common opponent. I get what you are driving at, but I know you know that some wrestler'...

Did not want to assume something, so I'm confirming so I don't make that mistake. Is th E after a wrestler mean that they are being ranked as a Executive Decesion, particularly if they have no " historical data" or current data to aupport the ranking based on your explanation of your crit...
