Everything the teachers have posted have been proven accurate. Use the information the teachers are giving. So far, we are 100%. We were told everyone was going to states, and that has been proven true. Stop with speculation, use the information. We all got riled up for no reason whatsoever. If we j...

Kanawha County post is inaccurate and addressed in this article.

After cleaning up the junk, we all agree only one this year? Generally, we have a couple young ladies striving to reach the podium.

If the wrestler has done everything right to qualify for the state tournament and the tournament does indeed take place as scheduled, then yes, the wrestler has a right to compete. Why wouldn't they? The state tournament begins in four days. The alleged strike begins in four days. Regarding "F...

It’s not a strike. Kids will wrestle. Sun will rise. You’ll stir the pot. These are the facts. Hopefully you are correct. All media reports have made it sound like it’s up to each county whether wrestlers get to participate. I’d be SHOCKED if a board of education or super kept the kids out. Absolut...

Might we be getting a tad carried away ? Not sure that comparing this situation , ( which has yet to come to fruition), to a geopolitical decision involving the Olympics is an appropriate analogy. Lol. And is it truly the wrestler’s “right” to compete in a High School wrestling tournament? I, of co...

Great conclusion buddy. It sounds like your a great role model for student athletes as well. Except not really. I'm not sure how making that comment has anything to do with anything...but ok. Judging by your previous comment it sounds like you don’t think that it was a terrible thing to do to a kid...

Now , now Rick. Appears that as a lawyer you are spinning that story in a shady light . Coaches move wrestlers around all the time to benefit their team. So Coach Schenerlein was a genius in doing what he did. It got his team a state title . And the South couch DID NOT win coach of the year . Now d...

I can’t believe that went to court.......that’s sad.

I can see arguments for many of these solutions being solid. I prefer a single state tournament, mainly because it would make our champion a bit more prestigious. Let us all face the facts...in open tournaments when a PA or OH state champ draws a WV state champ, there is rarely the fear of God place...

For a man that knows standard deviation, you lack the base knowledge on trends. A country-wide trend in wrestling participation is absolutely relevant when referring to what is happening in our state. Again, our numbers matching (actually being higher than last year) is very important, regardless o...

Yea...this whole growing the sport thing is misguided. We lost 73 wrestlers. 1573 down to 1500. Hardly a time to panic. Not even out of the standard deviation. We ok. What is the actual standard deviation that you speak of? Please share your data. Standard deviation? That's the +/- of any given sta...

Don't shoot the messenger. Just posting the info that was found. I doubt they are making any excuses for Teasdale; probably just inaccurate information. He's going to Penn State and Cael probably is not concerned about one loss on the resume when there are three (probably four) PA titles also attach...

https://observer-reporter.com/sports/teasdale-loses-second-career-match/article_6caa5f74-094f-11e8-9ec5-57a1ec31451d.html Another article on it. Not sure where Rea is ranked 6. Intermat does have Teasdale at 3 at 126 and Flo has him at 6 according to their own coverage of the match. Didn't realize t...

Nope. Wrong Freeman. Mac lost to Short at 78. Mitchell lost to Raike at 90.

To keep everyone from flooding the board with 28 different topics about the same thing, the rankings are being worked on. There is a thread for coaches to add information for the individual rankings. It is coming. Doc is doing a great job. Information is being shared. It's ok to have one general thr...

Who was the highest placing JV wrester and what weight class? In looking at the brackets for the WSAZ, there is a "1" beside the school's name for each given wrestler that is classified as "JV" for the WSAZ. My research shows that there were JV wrestlers that placed at the follo...

To answer your question, the majority of the middle school finals matches were great. High school matches in the finals tended to be a little one sided, but still good wrestling.

As usual, Doc, you are correct!

Looks like the Lanham prediction was accurate.

106 turned out to be interesting as well...

Big congrats to Coach Sayre and Point Pleasant middle school wrestling. Absolutely dominating performance. Leaves no doubt who is #1 this year in the middle school ranks. Unbelievable run with many of the wrestlers wrestling well above their seeds and, of course, having four champions always helps. ...

Not all tournaments are seeded. See the majority of state tournaments throughout the entire nation. Most are not seeded. Some are. Most are random draw based on performance the weekend before. And many weight classes end with the "#1" wrestler losing. I understand you are upset that 1/14 w...

The real issue is quite simple. You are speaking 100% on speculation. The actual criteria was not posted on this forum, and yet you speak of this as if you know the exact criteria. To be quite honest, most tournaments that seed without a meeting have a rubric they follow, and the only way head-to-he...

The coaches are also responsible for sending relevant information about other competitors at the tournament. The tournament director should not have to dig through pages of results to confirm all of the head-to-heads. Funny thing about seeds...they do not really matter when you have to actually toe ...

I cannot find any specific rule in the ssac regarding "hats" however, I don't belive there is anything to say a tournament director or school couldn't say anything about dress code. If u look at the ohio st tournament, they do not allow jeans\shorts whatsoever , u must be in slacks or doc...
