I am confused by all this. Everyone should be rejoicing that Region 1 is so good. The conversation should be centered around on how to make Regions 2,3,&4 better. Bringing the bottom up toward the top is far better than pushing the top back down toward the bottom. Altering the qualification pro...

I think the toughest first round match of the whole tournament is #4 Haydn Spitznogle vs #5 Tucker Lilly. I think either of these guys could've potentially made the finals.

A/AA 106- Swingle vs Taylor (Swingle) 113- Price vs McKenzie (Price) 120- Davis vs Birch (Davis) 126- Walker vs Wood (Wood) 132- Ringer vs Hart (Ringer) 138- Pettit vs Andrick (Andrick) 144- Fortier vs Nichols (Fortier) 150- Spitznogle vs Preolitti (Spitznogle) 157- Freed vs Jarvis (Jarvis) 165- Bus...

Kid is a monster!

32 AAA Teams vs 67 AA/A Teams and you think it's harder for AAA kids to place at the State Tournament? Look at region 1 in AA/A and the # of ranked kids in that region.....you will have ranked kids, good, ranked kids, probably not make it out of the region..... you have select AA/A Schools that wou...

I too noticed this change in the rankings. I admittedly don't follow AA/A closely enough to have a good knowledge of most of the wrestlers there. Not because of any reason other than that I don't get enough exposure to many of them at the tournaments and matches I attend. I understand that the Indi...

None of this takes into account the fact that Region 1 will likely muddy the waters because so many good wrestlers from those schools won't score points at States because they won't be able to get out of Region 1. Those teams will place lower on the board at States because of this, but it doesn't m...

Good thing these are coaches polls and can't be taken seriously because "WOW". Single A Challenge gives you all you need for Single A. When teams are ranked high out of nowhere, drop out of tournaments, and don't finish ahead of the defending Single A Champions that have been on top all y...

Williamstown High School is hoping to host an all girls tournament this season. Looking at possibly Saturday December 30th. Most likely will be at least middle school and high school. Might add peewee depending on total interest. More details will be posted at a later time. If anyone is interested i...

I believe the thought from the other thread was to still have two state champions per weight and to have one team champion per division, for a total of four team champions. I would be in favor of the change. Adding more competition to the current AAA side would benefit everyone from a competitive s...

Things seem to have turned a little hostile. I think the poster was just expressing a sentiment that classes need to be divided a little more evenly based on numbers of teams. It's true that the large class division has half as many schools and it is true that the smallest schools have a much harde...

WV HS wrestling needs 4 divisions. You will still have your two brackets like now. The only difference will be it will balance things out much better. right now some AAA region brackets have 5 wrestlers. A/AA regions have up to 18 teams in them. You can look at the numbers and easily figure out how...

You are an all state wrestler if you are on the podium. I have never heard you are ONLY an all state wrestler if you are a state champion. That is absurd! Im not sure what school you went to, but every school I have been to or coaches I have talked to all say the same thing. You're only All-State i...

I believe the JV 126 from Huntington took 4th at WSAZ.

I have had a few teams still interested in our tournament this year. As we are already filled up with our 10 teams, if I can pick up 6 more teams we will change the format to a 16 man bracket. This will still give the opportunity to wrestle 4-5 matches in a day. If anyone else is interested in parti...

Pottstd, yes that is a lot of state champs and finalists that would be out of the tournament. But does that not show how lop sided A-AA is? At least half of the AA state champs could bump up and beat the AAA champs. So the way I see it, AAAA/AAA and AA/A bracketed tournaments would be better competi...
