Re: Win with class lose with class
No words can describe how bad it was last night. The kids wrestling after the incidents were the ones that suffered. I’ve followed the state tournament over 20 years and never dreamed I’d see anything like this. Needless to say this may be the last one I attend. I was very saddened by everything tha...

Re: Sportsmanship
If a celebration is genuine and based on pure emotion then I have no problem with it. But sometimes it can border line show boating. That’s when I don’t like it.

Re: State superintendent meeting with county superintendents
Look at this situation from another angle. Now teammates and fellow students can come to the tournament to root on their peers without missing class.

Since we are exactly one week away from the semi finals I’d like to know which matches have the potential to steal the show Friday night. Some of the best matches I’ve seen have been in this particular session.

While that story is interesting. I could go either way on a dirty move or a brilliant one. BUT... What does that have to do with the Pill? I'm sure there was a regional runner-up that was miserable about it a week later but did it change the outcome of the state tournament. (other than perceived po...

THe Love of this Sport.
I’ve been involved in wrestling my entire life. As a youth wrestler I had the privilege of wrestling greats like Steve Higgins and Rob Archer. I’ve made numerous friends through the years thanks to this great sport. When my son reached the age I made sure he chose wrestling over basketball because o...

Re: Region IV A/AA Predictions
I’m not sure if he’s 45 or 52 but I wouldn’t leave Ward from Winfield out. Shamblin from Sissonville at 220 could also pull the upset.

If Ward from Winfield stays at 52 I would say Ward and Harvey will be a good one.

Re: AA/A 220lb Rankings
This class is wide open. I think Gavin Shamblin of Sissonville is a serious contender to win this class. He is really coming on going down the last stretch of the season.

Sad. This was one of the most underrated tournaments of the season as recently as 2 years ago. I remember seeing some great matches there. It’s a shame last years fiasco at the states reshuffled everything. Not to mention their great breakfast at Williamstown.

Re: Favorite Venue to watch wrestling in WV?
I wouldn’t mind Wheeling if football wasn’t already a mainstay there. To have another state tournament that far away from southern West Virginia would be tough on us.
