I have been out of this sport for awhile now but this question is very misleading because to me EVERYONE that has ever stepped on the mat is a champion.

Well said Army…

I could not have said it better than that.
Wrestling is a young man’s sport and after 48 years of hard competition.. enough is enough for me.

These young kids can have it.

Hancock did not quit, he retire… it happens to all of us that gets old. Maybe, he had personal issues or problems, but it was his decision, so respect it. He earned it!
Hancock has accomplished more than most ever will and rightfully so. But to say he quit?

I was very impressed with Amos’s wrestling. Always attacking and moving. His hatred to lose and his desire to win is a great asset. I was hoping he could make the team at his young age. Many of us have tried but never was good enough line Amos currently is. I think he is the only one to ever qualifi...

Make wrestling a ONE class sport! Better competition and better wrestlers!

Good for you David! Guess you guys Are on the right track I am there most years,The years I was there, I let the state coaches coach, club coaches did their part in preparing the kids and I just sit back and watch. Good for you and for WV for producing so many AA. Hopefully the state can produce mor...

Chris I was not in anyway putting down the school I came from or any school for the matter. I am just saying that we need to make our state even more better. Both South and PHS are well known here at Clovis, Bakersfield and more from up North of CA where the powerhouses are in the state. But we are ...

These clowns don’t bother me at all because they have not done anything worthwhile for this sport that we love. They cannot get under my skin, because they are just kids. It is very refreshing to actually run into someone that knows what they are talking about. WV needs more people like yourself tha...

Thanks for all the negativism but I have to ask does it get tiresome to look in the mirror and think your a great wrestler that NEVER went anyone outside of WV? Can you and many others be positive about everything without being sarcasm? Wrestling is about helping one another, helping another team be...

I think this is great!!
I hope more WV kids start wrestling in Greco and Free all summer! These styles are more respected from all over the World and this would be a great chance to learn from great instructors!

Great!!
Good for the Wood County kids.. if that is your training regiment. Good for you! Hope to see many future Olympians come from WV as a whole!

Our regiment is working for US! We will have Olympians coming out of California! Bet on it!

Good luck on your methods!

Thanks Kenny I tried to give some helpful hints of how we are doing so well and what works. But in life, you will always have people that are not happy with themselves. They are jealous of other people’s accomplishments or just did not make that first string line up when they were in High school. On...

Matt official Great! Then do it your way! What point are you trying to make? We are trying to create future World Champions and Olympians. So far we have an NCAA champion this year!! This is OUR training regiment, don’t be so negative and just do it your way. Why should you care how and what we do? ...

Listen Everyone has their own opinion on what they think works I am telling you the end results. My club prepares kids for the Olympics and since including the CrossFit into our schedule has helped us tremendously! Let me explain in more detailed.. a match is 5 minutes. We train to go double that fo...

Corey..
I think what you are trying to do is GREAT!!!
WV needs to start spending more time competing in Greco & Free during the off seasons!

I hope the people who controls WV wrestling will help and let you do just that but ..... sigh

I wish you much success Sir!

It is helping my team become successful and I stand by it. I am in no way connected with CrossFit but if you look at the exercises that is being done. It is like your actually wrestling with no breaks in between sets. If you want to become a body builder than ok. But lots of reps without stopping is...

Lol Out of 67 All Americans in both Cadet and Junior divisions for 2017. 17 were from my club with having a former team members that were the NCAA runner up from Penn State and just getting our first club NCAA champion this year from Arizona. Your not going to get a rise out of me doughboy. Keep wre...

CrossFit is the best exercise available today for everyone regardless of what shape your in. All of my wrestlers are doing CrossFit competitions and wrestling 4 times a week that they are also required to wrestle in 3 tournaments a month!! We don’t sit around and wait til the first day of wrestling ...

It was a great event!
Wait until you get to the junior division ..
This is an whole entire division with even more wrestlers coming out!
What I mean is that most clubs don’t have wrestlers in the cadet age group but more in the junior div.

Great job placing in the cadet div.

JW
International wrestling is an entire different way of scoring in both Greco and Free.

The Table judge is the head judge and has the last say.

Glad to see some of WV wrestlers wrestling in Greco!

You still got to give it to the kid.. he did make it to the finals! Still proud of him.
Finally.. I got my first champ!!!

WV is on the rise .. who is next Amos?

This is fantastic for WV! I hope Haught wins and becomes WV first NCAA champ I am hoping one of my kids will win as well from CA..at 174... Valencia. I had one in the finals a couple of years ago but he lost Morgan McIntosh. These kids came up through the wrestling programs out here in Orange county...

Coach28 You are so correct in everything you have said! Look who runs wrestling in WV and who does all of this benefits? Two weeks before State?? Give me a break.. WV is one of the smallest states with 3 divisions and now you want to wait another week to wrestle states?? Instead of just complaining....

Thanks Army.. my last trip...my respects to you for your service. You are the tough one Rick. Gator thanks I need to get together with all of you this coming winter and share some laughs. I miss my WV people. Maybe I can shoot a buck from your bedroom window? My body is held together by duct tape an...

Ahhhh
John... now I know who you are.
Hope all is well...
shoot me an email

Coach 90
We must be very close friends because not too many people knew or even remember that I had that car!

I even forgot about it...lol

God I love and miss Joe Handlan Jr.
Love what he said in the news

Best wrestling coach period!

Thanks for the feedback but as I recall from the early 80's when I wrestled back there ... the lightweights were really weak as well But I don't think WV has the power or any single state for that matter to raise or change any weight classes But I agree with you about not having that big of a popula...

Can someone tell me which weights are affecting WV in filling?

Correct me if I am wrong, is it the light and heavyweights?
