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...

He is incredible. Hitting a belly to belly throw in the state finals against a very good wrestler. He is something special for sure. All I can say is WOW!!!

Does anyone know which weight class will be first tonight?

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.

Was it just me or was that one outstanding round of wrestling. Competitive matches every where I looked. Can’t wait for tomorrow night and the Main Event of the evening!! Rea versus Hall part 5!!

Is there a link or any way for us to follow the results of tonight’s action?

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.

The last paragraph of that article states that the girls sectional tournament and the state wrestling tournament will go on as planned.

As Michael Buffer would say, “LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!

There are many very good potential semi final matches. Here is my short list: 106: Casuccio/EF vs Smith/Point 113: Whorton/EF vs Perdue/Indy & Moore/Oak Glen vs Hodges/Grafton 132: Rea/Weir vs Taylor/Indy & Hall/Oak Glen vs Flint/EF 145: Davis/Berkeley Springs vs Ward/Winfield. Hugger that ...

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.

I stand corrected Hugger. I must’ve skimmed the matchups wrong. 106 Boyers over Houser
113 Whorton over Hodges

106 Boyers over Smith 113 Whorton over Perdue 120 Laya over Smith 126 Whorton over Lusher 132 Rea over Hall in an instant classic!! 138 Pumphrey over Cook 145 Hart over Ward 152 Harvey over Munday 160 Gibson over McCune 170 Moore over Patterson 182 Daniels over Frampton 195 Moomau over Kump 220 Sham...

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...

Congratulations young man. One of my best memories was watching you and my son wrestle in the regional finals 2 years ago. Good luck next week.

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...

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...

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.

It's the most emotional sport going ! There will be blow-ups. Some excessive ! Wrestlers are wired different. Nowadays ,,they back talk, say no, and sorta do as they please. Back in the day it was,,, YES SIR, and you did as was asked of you. No questions ! Now ,, you have good senior wrestlers maki...

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

My kid had a 1000 matches before HS, 159 in HS and another 100 plus in college so I have seen a few questionable calls. Not once did I ever complain about a ref. The only time my kid ever complained about a ref to me was after losing a close match in a big tournament semi when ref awarded the other...

Thanks for the info. Didn’t see it on the Frone Page.

Is the Kanawha County Championship being held this year?

Are the results to this going to be posted?

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.

I wasn’t trying to cause anything by saying Lanham was elite. I was just trying to emphasize that Lanham has accomplished a lot here in WV. In my opinion he is in the lead for next years Dutton award. He has a great resume in this state. There is way too much negativity and bickering on this site. I...

Football? Sorry, I was talking about a state WRESTLING tournament. Flatwoods, yes centralized. How long until this sports complex is complete?? Who do you think is going to fund this project? Even if there are LEGITIMATE answers to these two questions, let's try something different for until then. ...

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.
