What are your matches to watch?

Bearhugger wrote:Strike or work stoppage?

Strike, but athletics are to continue on.

For the first time since the latest regional realignment, the Coalfield Conference Invitational will also provide a preview of AA/A region 3. Once the smoke clears Saturday night, pull out Greenbrier East and Princeton, you will have your predictive AA/A region 3 state tournament qualifiers. Who wi...

SINCE THERE ARE ONLY SIX PLACERS IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT, HERE'S MY TOP SIX IN EACH WEIGHT CLASS 106 1-Dolan-SM 2-Lyles-Hunt 3-Miller-PS 4-Slack-Riv 5-Cochrane-JM 6-Yost-Bke 113 1-Easton-PS 2-Slelek-WP Carman-JM 4-Williams-SM 5-Curry-Hamp 6-Haskins-Rip 120 1-Johnson-PS 2-Simpson-Uni 3-Donahue-PHS 4...

And there are your winners and losers aacoach33! BearHugger suggested a possible improvement to a great tournament, and improve other up and coming tourneys! But of course you always have those "Monday Managers" remind me of the jerks in Washington! Our country is in a mess for the same r...

Mr Gator, I am also a firm believer in the rankings system and other than not having the last name (Hart/Warden/Snuffer/Adams/Bolen), gator is my favorite name in high school wrestling. “BUT” I’m with popajoe, and JW 100% on this one in believing these rankings are (for the most part) obserd. Hugge...

What middle schools does this include other than IMS?

I thought they would at least give the competition a one week head start...

This is getting absolutely ridiculous, and there are a lot of grown adults (im guessing) on here that should be ashamed of themselves. This topic has now become a witch hunt and led to personal attacks on referees, and now the staff and team at Winfield. Enough is enough people. Yes, the refs messe...

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. This is the same coaching staff...

And those couple teams points don't mean anything to that team

FYI. ---. I'm NOT the Head Coach of any program. You have no idea about coaching I can see that. To think a team like South or Indy can win titles without a good coach is not an intelligent quote. It takes hard work to get kids talented enough to win more than they lose. Give credit where credit is...

Region 2 at 113.

Region 3 at 106, 220 and 285.

Lets just leave this all as is.

How could this be?? "A" is supposed to be only schools not filling teams and "watering down wrestling"

With all the complaining on here I doubt they do them.

Then don't participate in the discussion. Your comments fuel the discussion. If you feel it mind numbing, If bearhugger starts a thread, don't read it, don't comment on it, leave your numb minds comments to yourself. Save us who enjoy the discussion your negative views, or snarky comments. AGREE!!!!!

YOU want the second best wrestler from their own teams to compete in the state and regional tournaments tournament, meaning the BEST they could ever do is second place, meaning that YOU are the one who wants to normalize "striving for second place" . :lol: Nice underhanded jab at yourself...

GEEZ!! ⬆

Hiring the wrong person for the job is bad also. Varsity kids from schools A, B, C, D, and E winning a trophy and "JV" kid from school F that beats all those is someone getting a trophy that shouldn't have.

I have only been around this great sport for 11 years. In my opinion I see more athletes going to camps and clinics to learn and improve. I in no way could be an official. Officiating mistakes will even out when called fairly which is done most of the time. There are occasions that I've saw that are...

Amazing isn't it that Huntington has gotten 7 state championships Grass 3, Allen 3 and Lanham 1 out of Milton's program and ... Milton is the feeder for Cabel Midlands. ... Just sayin' Unfortunately Huntington isn't the only school doing this. Hats off for a couple young men staying home and winnin...

If you knew they were OH kids, then why didn't you say something? I assume they could have been removed from the tourney if it was true. Would not have done any good. Few years ago high school roster was shown at scratch meeting with kid in bracket that was on roster. Little bit of discussion then ...

I agree with everybody on here. Malematmaid is the most rude person ever on here. He hardly ever has anything nice to say about anybody, even his x team mates. He must be mad because he is a senior and was still on the b team, and then he even quit that. He definitely needs to be banned from mat.co...

With only one point separating PHS and University, and both schools having wrestlers in the 3 remaining weight classes, this could shape up to be a nice story heading into state tournament #2. Oh yes, a race for 2nd place. How amazing of a story :roll: This comment is ridiculous. A race for the sec...

mscoach64 wrote:the entire AAA tournament should have been postponed. there were only 2 options: 1. all wrestlers disqualified. 2. AAA postponed.

Exactly! Sounds to me like there should be some investigation into how it got this far and some coaches held responsible.

Bump

I'm sorry but I've held this is for to long an it's comments and attitudes like this that show character. Of course your talking about Noah Adams. And he is a fine wrestler and probably one the best that will have ever come out of West Virginia. Yes it was a shame as to what happened to him his sop...

Along with putting the regions back the way they were what about also moving some of the bigger AA schools up? Seems as having 3 classes is outnumbered so find the dividing line to have half of wv schools in AAA/AA and the other half in AA/A? Just a thought to put out there. Probably done been menti...

Oh wait that already happens.

OR say they moved but really didn't!
