Keyser was not part of the 4 teams that competed to represent region 1 for the state duals. It was Fairmont Sr., East Fairmont, OG and Tyler. East Fairmont backed out last minute due to kids being sick. Had Keyser been able to step in, they could very well have made the top two given their line up....

These numbers are inaccurate. Nitro (.44), winfield (.43), fairmont (.42), Hoover(.43) , shady(.43) all bigger than point looking at enrollment scores on the competitive balance formula, as well as the total scores also. Ripley comes in at at .43 enrollment score and have a lower total score than e...

If they keep the cut for AAA at 800, then just Point would move to AAA and Ripley to AA. If they move the cut line to 775/750 then Hoover, Nitro, Point, Fairmont, Winfield, and Shady all move to AAA. Year Dist District Schl School Type "Total Headcount" 2024 004 Berkeley 501 Hedgesville H...

I am sure there are plenty of examples that dispute my opinion, I will not argue that, but there are plenty of examples that support it. The point was that it is not a viable option to revise the qualification process for the entire state, just to benefit one or two people fighting for a 5th place ...

I know MatTime, I watch them, honest review, I think they're trash. I said it, my opinion and know others that share that opinion, hense why I'm looking at creating another one. Sponsors and backing is no issue. I could get into a whole discussion about MatTime but, I'm not here for that, I just be...

Thinking of doing a WV Wrestling podcast next season. This would be a weekly show, with real results, facts, and actual WV Wrestling talk. Will look to have guest, ex. Coaches, former wrestlers, former coaches, fans.....maybe have call ins and emails that will be broadcasted. Is there interest in t...

Devils Advocate. is being in a hotel an advantage? All the wrestlers together, enforced curfew, keeping a close eye on weight. A hotel close would mean more time relaxing and not spending 45 minutes on the road before and after. Other than being in their own bed the worst part would be travel to on ...

At no point is a wrestler ever permitted to wrestle more than one weight class up from the weight class that their actual weight permits them to wrestler at the time of weigh-ins. If WRESTLER A weighs in at 156.8 he/she is only permitted to wrestler 157 and 165. At not point since I have been invol...

Does anyone have the locations of the Regional tournaments for this year? I know one is typically in the same location, but the rest rotate between schools.

The young man is a senior from Roane County (Weight Class 126) i dont know if anyone has heard how he is doing yet,

Just asking for opinions here. If a coach physically contacts an official it is according to the rule book will be ejected. What about when the referee does the same to a coach. Is there a penalty? Should there be ? How about when an official makes such poor judgment a wrestler who says the f word ...

I have a different spin If it is a season award then it goes to Raike. Derek outperformed Gage at Fargo, Ironman, and Powerade. If it is a career award then we look back to last year when Gage whipped Derek twice. Either way both are very good representatives of WV wrestling. Granted there was a pi...

After the WSAZ has concluded and we have one month of wrestling left, who is the front runner for the Dutton Award? Names and why? First my reason why. Last year i felt it should have been Bartee. since he had a current season win over Quiocho (GQ) 2-1 at WSAZ. And he then went on to win his 3rd ti...

I will say I got excited with I saw this thread title. I was hoping there was some info or speculation of what the state tournament is going to look like after the 4A classification passes the trial period and is moved to all sports. Will there be a 4A/3A combo along with a 2A/1A? Will there be 4A t...

That is not currently in use for the State Tournament. It was decided that year that it would be attempted. But the year had already started so it was then decided to wait until the following year. (2021) 2021 the season was moved and shortened state tournament split and moved a couple times. It was...

Where did Bush finish as a freshman? He goes from not on the podium to second as a soph, then first as a jr, then committing to wvu, to beating some nationally ranked wrestlers as a sr. Was he just raw coming into hs or what. Just seems like he’s improved at an insane rate. I never saw Ian wrestle ...

Looking back through past years. And found that this year is the 75th annual State Tournament. Back in 1997 at the 50th there was a lot of pomp and circumstance with past champions and such. Anyone hear if this year is going to be the same? Or is Covid killing that fun too? I am excited to go back a...

I think they mean no large tournaments in season. But i could be wrong. My wife does say that happens from time to time.

since you are Saying "We voted" that means you can see the date the "voting" closes. Right?

Question 5)Will we go to an all class tournament? Answer: No Reason: There is money being made off each regional tournament . and the state tournament. Either one of these reduces the number of tournaments. Options that involve taking money away from those making the decisions will go no where :lol...

West Virginia needs a good, two day bracketed tournament in DECEMBER. These duals meets are becoming cattle calls with very little significant matches happening. We have the conference, regional and state tournaments in February. We have the Winner's Choice, OVAC, WSAZ, Brooke Classic, Braxton Coun...

The power of the forum! We did it!!! The 2021 State Tournament will 100% have some of the largest current AA teams added. Oak Hill, Bridgeport and Lincoln will all be in the AAA regions and state tournament. This is such a huge accomplishment I hear it may even have an impact on the regional alignme...

I hope it is a tie. Just so we can watch people lose their minds.

But seriously Assuming all 3 of the athletes above can make it through the season healthy and they accomplish what we all think they will, I could understand a case being made for any of them.

Upon the conclusion of wrestling weekend ending Saturday, January 12, my good friend "TrueSouthFanWithAnExcelSpreadsheet" asked me to share this information with the West Virginia Wrestling Family. Facts: 1. The biggest wrestling extravaganza within the WV borders was The Winner's Choice....
