Re: AA/A Individual Rankings 2017 Week 1

Lusher wrestled 120 at Super32. Not sure if he will stay there or drop down. There may be a sleeper freshman at 160 in the mix too. Should be an interesting year.

Re: Life After Wrestling......Includes Wrestling.

Wonder if I could get his bride-to-be to explain to my wife how it works :roll: LOL. My wife is good except our anniversary falls on Dec 12th which is almost always a wrestling weekend. This year I am good since it is a Monday :)

Re: AA/A 126lb Meat Grinder

I agree. I noticed a few classes that could be real interesting depending on who moves into or out of them. If nobody moves out of AA/A 170 then there will be 5 seniors and a junior all returning that placed 1-6 and that isn't even taking into consideration who may move into the class from 45 or 52...

Re: Coaching Position

@RickyAPT Cabell county doesn't show any coaching positions on their website so you will probably have to call the central office about them. Most coaching positions are posted in June and July and either filled then or left unfilled if they are assistant positions unless the HC insist that they rep...

Re: WVU signee

I understand where you are coming from and agree that it makes no sense that WVU didn't recruit a single WV wrestler. By the same measure, did any high school coaches make a call and promote their wrestler to him? A HC calling and saying "You gotta check out this kid on my team!" and sendi...

Re: WVSSAC

Just a thought, but perhaps we would have more kids getting athletic scholarships if they could have access to more coaching in the offseason if they desired it. There is a reason why children of coach's often excel at their sport. They have unlimited access to coaching anytime they want it. The WVB...

Re: WVSSAC

According to that article the "year round access" measure barely passed the WVSSAC by a vote of 54-53, so I am not sure how much the SSAC supports a year round coaching system, but it appears that they are at least more open to it than the WVBOE is. Along with letting the SSAC know how we ...

Re: Board Shorts/Compression Shirt vs Singlets

I don't like the loose-fitting shorts.

Wearing looser clothing in pra...

And what about a few wrestlers who are entered as independent and have their fathers as coach? Will they be allowed a pass since that is the wrestler's coach?

Re: One coaches perspective of this weekend's WVYWA tournament

Three bands are not nearly enough. It should be based on how many kids qualify. Because with 8 mats and a team with a lot of kids could be up on multiple mats, but I agree with your point on the bands. I don't see why not. 3 bands = 3 coaches. There was only 8 mats at WVYWA and two of them were mid...

Re: One coaches perspective of this weekend's WVYWA tournament

I think coach passes are a good idea. I like what they do at the Mason-Dixon Conference championships. They give you a neon colored wrist band like the kind you get at the hospital that you have to rip off to remove. Give each head coach an allotment of 3 and that is it. You gotta have one on to be ...
