AAA Region 2 Seeds Review
Holy smokes. Braxton Amos works out with a landmine now!!!!!!
Re: AAA Region 2 Seeds Review
Are skin checks mandatory this year, what with the two week break between the Regionals and the State tournament? I thought the WVSSAC outlawed them this year and that was the purpose for the delay.
Re: AAA Region 2 Seeds Review
Whats more when you look at region 2 and 3 combined there are 35 wrestlers who will qualify automatically because of 4 or less in their brackets. In region 4 in several weights there will be a wrestler(who won't qualify) who would be a state placer in the 2 region 8 qualifiers format. I just don't see the downfall of such a format.

I'm not saying it is right, but the 35 wrestlers you mentioned above would say the downfall would be the wrestlers their schools are not sending to the State tournament. Others would assert that these schools not getting to send wrestlers to the State tournament would be a detriment to their maintaining a wrestling program. That is why some have advocated sending everyone, including JV wrestlers. That leads others to suggest participation medals. And it goes round and round.

I just want to clarify a JVer wouldn’t get a participation trophy unless he happened to earn it among other wrestlers in the state in his or her particular weight class if that day ever happens, to allow JVers to participate in states.

Oh, I was referring to previous sarcastic comments about everyone getting a participation medal. I actually thought the participation medal was just a joke. However, if a JV wrestler ever gets to wrestle in the State tournament, let's give them the actual medal/trophy they have earned and deserve, without any asterisk.

Alright
Beerhugger and anyone else who wants to have jv wrestlers in the regionals and state tournament. U now have my permission. I still don't agree with it. But go ahead and do it. Just don't bore me with this talk next year about it.
I lean up against the wall
I see it all
I prefer chino one to BBQ and slaw.

The bye week between regions and states would be a great day for a JV only year end tournament. It would give us fans something to hold us over.
