Re: The best 4 time state champions
It is unfortunate that Amos didn't get a chance to wrestle with that 2017 team. Their upper weights were ridiculous with Lambiotte (170 champ), DeLong (182 champ), Allman (195 4X champ), Haga (285 runner-up and future champ) and then add Amos....that is a crazy line up.

Re: AAA Predictions
Should be a very tight tournament. Coach Oldham always said the tournament was won during the consi rounds. South with 13 in the tournament definitely helps. It will be interesting to see. Some very good teams.

Re: SOUTH-PHS match predictions
Well Brent. My prediction is that Williams pins Scohy with 30 seconds left in the match to lift South to a 30 to 28 victory. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Tournaments- Dual vs Individual
I had an opportunity to coach a high school team 3 years ago. We went to a hybrid dual/individual tournament. There were 12 teams (two pools of 6 teams). We wrestled 5 dual matches on the first day. The second day was an 8 line bracket tournament. Based on the results from the first day, the wrestle...

Re: Individual Region predictions A/AA and AAA
Definitely a joke. I just figured we need to laugh a little more. I think it is going to be a great state tournament. Of course, I am pulling for South but I can't wait to see how it all plays out. A lot of good teams. As Coach Oldham always said, "State Championships are won in the consolation...

Interesting observation. In my mind there was nothing worse than getting put on my back and pinned. I didn't want to have to face Coach Oldham for one. Lol.

Re: St. Albans vs South
Absolutely! have seen the best of the best get caught and pinned. Kyle Snyder comes to mind. However, the rule of thumb should be " don't get pinned...ever." Don't even get put on your back! Realistically, it is going to happen, but mindset certainly has a big part in it. Conversely, Coach...

Re: States Format after next year?
How about this. Keep the state tournament the way it is for team scoring, etc., and state champions for the A/AA, and AAA. The following week, have the top four wrestlers from each weight class from the A/AA tournament and AAA tournament wrestle for an individual state championship. It will never ha...

Re: AAA P4P rankings
I think Covid has really disrupted a lot of things in many ways. Maybe as things open up, we will see more activity. I went to the Jr. Nationals in the summer of 82. It was an eye opening experience. I hope kids continue, and are able to take advantage of those kinds of opportunities.

Re: AAA P4P rankings
Can't say I disagree with the number 1 on the list. Very dominant in the state, and does well at the highest levels outside of the state. Fargo is a real good indicator of what kind of wrestler you have.

Re: South /PHS predictions
That's the match. 1981 - 1982 Season. I was the back up heavyweight for South at the time. PHS was winning the match 28-24. Our heavyweight pinned the PHS wrestler with 30 seconds left. South won 30 - 28. I will never forget that moment. They say it was so loud that people in the surrounding homes c...

Re: Which teams finish second in AA and AAA
Since nobody has responded. Huntington in AAA and East Fairmont for A/AA. Although, I think Huntington was very impressive at the regional tournament. They have a lot of very good wrestlers. South needs to wrestle well.

Re: Separation of single A and AA
Not that it really matters to me, but for the sake of suggestions regarding the A, AA, AAA classifications, here is my two cents. Maryland has 4 classifications. However, for a sport like lacrosse, they only use three classifications. They have a 1A/2A classification, a 2A/3A classification, and a 3...

I remember Armyman. I think that trip cost us $80 each. I believe we were crammed in vans for 12 or13 hours with no cell phones or Ipods. I also remember a lot of corn fields.

Re: Team WV 2016 - List of Wrestlers
I was fortunate enough to make the trip in the summer of 1982. It was held at the University of Iowa at the time. It definitely has the nation's best. I went 0-2 in the freestyle. It was a great trip and great experience. Good luck to the West Virginia wrestlers attending.
