Re: Martin Luther King Jr. Day - January 16th
Nice job making a mockery of a civil rights leader that was murdered. You do this because you couldn't make the variety team when you were in high school. I have read this. The variety team is hard to get on. They have a variety of good wrestlers. It is tough to get on the variety team! There are a...

Oh yes! I've watched him over the last couple years. Watched him at Virginia Beach this year, right after he crushed it at Flo Nationals. Great kid!!

Re: For the success of WV wrestling in general
In my experience, two people that are of equal skill and talent go head to head....the physically stronger kid wins. Period.

Re: For the success of WV wrestling in general
I agree with the lifting weights off season. I run a program during the summer for kids, usually have about 25-30 kids. For the kids under 13-14, it's body weight oriented, sand bags, tire drags, etc. The older kids do the old school tire flips, sled drags, rope climbs, box jumps, etc... Plus we lif...

Re: 120 AAA by Region
So there will be at least 2 open slots in this weight class for the State Tournament. So the 5th place finisher from regions 1 and 4 fill in, and now you have a full bracket. I have read the State Tournament thread, and what I find sickening is all these excuses and maybe's, and what if's that are t...

Re: Board Shorts/Compression Shirt vs Singlets
I have also competed in several BJJ tournaments in the no gi division, where board shorts and rash guards are being worn. The issue of fingers or toes being caught is a non factor. The shorts have no pockets, for that reason, and they are relatively close fitting, and the material they are made of i...

I agree!!! I took my son there to compete, it was his first experience at the tournament. It was a great experience. He got a chance to see it all come together and make sense.

Re: AAA 106
I thought something must have been up with Wood for the 4th place finish in Regionals. I have seen him wrestle a few times this year, and he is a strong kid. I am sticking by my belief that this weight class is up for grabs. I think we are going to see some names that are not being considered as hav...

Re: Bold predictions???
not sure about McCormick at 106. He was a placer last year, and was a favorite to start the year. He has only wrestled like 12 matches all year, hasn't wrestled since before Jan 7th. With the competition so close in the class, that could be an issue for him. I guess that's why they wrestle the match...

Re: Bold predictions???
I don't think that Byrd at 106 is a huge dark horse pick. I saw him at MSAC, and he looked solid. He handled Haskins with ease in the finals. Physically strong for the weight class and moves well. Region IV 106 will be interesting. Smith, Holt, Bowen, and Talbott all in the Top 10. 106 is a good cla...

Re: Coming Out of Retirement
The reason numbers are down is due to the sport being too hard for today's kids. Mommy and Daddy cannot buy your way to the podium, it actually takes hard work and dedication to be good. The politics of the sport don't mean squat in a wrestle off, so even the poorest kid had the same shot at glory t...

Re: top ten
Is McCormick, 106 CM, staying there or bumping to 113. He has a slew of scores at 113. Same question of Martin from South. Is he staying 113, or bumping to 120. I saw him at Wheeling against Stuebenville at 120.
