Will these matches be streamed anywhere for those that cant make the trip to the greenbrier? Should be some great duals and some very exciting individual matches! Per Greenbrier East's twitter it looks like the semi final pairings will be : AAA University vs. St Albans Spring Mills vs. Parkersburg A...

Oh please All you wheeling homers need to get over the fact that the state tournament is not going back there. The Archers and the army they have assembled do a better job than anyone else in the state can even think of doing and the state tournament will be staying in Huntington. Sorry about your ...

Alliance Top Gun I would argue all 4 of these tournaments are about as tough or tougher than WSAZ though. Mountaineer Match Up might not even allow for the best in each weight class to wrestle each other. I am heading to the Big Blue today. Based on history, it is good but it ain't no WSAZ. OVAC, a...

I don’t see a reason to water it down. 26 wrestling schools and the majority are partial rosters in A. We complained about byes in AAA last few years. Yeesh. I’d love to see that thread

To me, it has to be Peyton Hall (will be 4 x champ, ranked #5 @152 via intermat ). Also in the running would be Braxton Amos (Last years winner, will be 3 x champ, ranked #2 @ 220 via intermat) and Zach Frazier (will be a 4x champ). Discuss... "Watch out for the ringworm!" - Robert Mueller

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!

What compounds the sadness is the criteria for replacing the wrestlers. I agree that they should put in another wrestler but basing it on a winning percentages just encourages teams to wrestle weak schedules. How pathetic is it that you punish a kid for wrestling better competition? Before anyone g...

I’m wondering what seeding criteria they used? Definitely not what the have posted. Seems like I read a post about wrestlers and easy routes. Maybe we should look deeper into the seeding to see who doesn’t like deep water. Just out of curiosity who do you think is seeded incorrectly ? I know the co...

I don’t think anyone knows exactly why kids cut/bump. More importantly, calling a high school kid a coward to go be a champion is bold to say the least. Basically, who cares? If a kid is 3 in one weight and 1 in the other...go be 1. Duh. I don’t care about the eye of the tiger bull crap. Team scores...

Saw the score of the east Fairmont - ripley dual under the scores section. Does anyone have actual results to that ? Would like to see them.

Haynes is at Sissonville.

We've been told by the WVSSAC that the head official's explanation for why he didn't take more time to check the make sure the score was correct was because the Winfield coach kept adamantly insisting that the score was correct and that wrestling be restarted immediately. That's the official explan...

I got texts to check out wvmat. thanks for the morning smile ringworm. There are so many more reasons I wouldn't get father of the year. Awards are not part of Braxtons goals. His 7th grade year the tournament director for wood county tournament lobbied the coaches to vote for someone else for coac...

I have to finally ask...why did Indy not have a book with the score? Almost every coach has a stat person keeping the action for this exact reason. If a book contradicted the score table, perhaps it gets corrected.

So you believe that the Winfield wrestler would have been more aggressive down 2 points with 10 seconds left than being down 1 point????? The problem with this situation is that it was not a judgment call, it was a blatant mistake that a entire group of people, including the Winfield coaches, could...

Thank you Jenny for those stats! You do great work! I think Tim Amos explained that Braxton has given up escape points in order to push the pace and check an opponent’s conditioning. Braxton likes to set up 5 point or pinning moves from his feet also. He did not give up a takedown, reversal or offe...

I think this goes deeper than a wrestling match. I agree this should have been handled immediately by the coaches, officials, tournament director and the WVSSAC. Every adult associated with this situation has/had the duty and obligation to help and teach these young wrestlers how to become honest, ...

I continue to wonder how, during the match, the opposing coach didn't also help to correct the score. How can you knowingly put your athlete in a position where you know the score is wrong and not say something? Who would be ok winning like that? I just don't get it. WP1992, i am with you 100% !! B...

First of all I hope this post doesn’t get deleted like a lot of the other ones did about my son’s match. I have never posted one single thing on this forum and didn’t ever want to over this issue. I actually had to use a friend’s login because I could not get one approved this morning. My son was n...

So who is going to win AA next year? Going to be a lot of teams gunning for that top spot. Could be a dog fight.
Interested to hear everyones prediction on top 3 in AA next year.

Jordan Brueck just won the 5th place medal at 285! For him not to have been given this chance just because Weir is in Region 1 would have been a miscarriage of justice. Time for some changes. Awesome for that kid! Heavyweight is always the weight class where kids can make the biggest jumps and make...

Seems to me there is a lot of jumping to conclusions on this site. Without facts or first hand knowledge....Interesting!......well, par for the course on this site. same old, same old. What? Looks like they are all at the tournament with exception of a few. “Watch out for the ringworm!” Guy There S...

Have a lot complaint about regional strength and how we “fix” it. How many non-regional finalist made the finals? Meaning how many that were 3/4 in their region? I would guess below 3, meaning the pill and regions seem to work.

I believe one team lost 3 points for poor sportsmanship last night. As far as celebrations go, I saw nothing out of hand. It’s an emotional sport and they are kids. I have way more issue with an obvious lack of control of wrestlers for their losses.

If Simpkins beats Berisford,I think they meet in the finals. That was a big loss for him in Region 1. This bracket is the worst in the tournament. There will be someone going home that would place if seeded. I don't think you can call this the worst bracket. 160 Carman vs Hollie(CM) or Jayvon Hall(...

The coach that wins coach of the year should ALWAYS be the team that won the State Tournament. It has become a popularity contest or voting against the winner. Not voting for the winner is like giving the MOW to a wrestler that lost a match in the tournament. I am sure there are alot of different t...

WVDE has 153 various jobs listed and many counties don’t post there.
