I have enjoyed the discussions, debates, arguments and everything else that has gone along with engaging on WVMat. The 2019 season was my last. It is time to focus on wrestling here in North Carolina, learning the "who's who" and spending less time on the road traveling up to WV every wee...

Probably the same list that RealGreco claims to have

Never heard of him

Phone Parkersburg South they have about 12 to choose from. For inquiring minds, If you go to https://www.stedwardeagles.com/wrestling an...

NCAA also has a recovery week between conference qualifiers and the national tournament. WVSSAC gets crucified for doing the same between regional and state. The WVSSAC added the week for a very different reason than the NCAA does. Well, it is done for a kinda similar reason isn't it? I mean to get...

Big congratulations on 150 wons but how many state titles does he have? Scratch that, Congratulations Anthony If this was meant as a joke of some kind, I can assure you it was not taken as such.

Thank you

My guess is 1 and that is counting the host school

After 9 games South is # 1 in scoring defense again only giving up 8.56 points per game. Martinsburg played there last game Saturday and finished with a 8.60 scoring defense. I f South holds PHS to 9 points they will tie Martinsburg for #1. Any less than that and they will be #1 by themselves. :D :...

It does say individual sports but if you read the article it says that a school could chose to move up in one sport but not make all sports move up. The headline is a bit confusing. I could see some teams choosing to move from AA to AAA (Point, Indy, Fairmont Senior, Fairmont East, Bridgeport). AA ...

Thanks Kenny I tried to give some helpful hints of how we are doing so well and what works. But in life, you will always have people that are not happy with themselves. They are jealous of other people’s accomplishments or just did not make that first string line up when they were in High school. O...

My name is Corey McComas. I have been coordinating duals teams for a few elementary & middle school events. I just concluded assembling the WVYWA Elementary & Middle School teams that competed in the NHSCA National Duals in Virginia Beach on Memorial Day Weekend. I have done some other dual...

CrossFit is the best exercise available today for everyone regardless of what shape your in. All of my wrestlers are doing CrossFit competitions and wrestling 4 times a week that they are also required to wrestle in 3 tournaments a month!! We don’t sit around and wait til the first day of wrestling...

Our coaches will not win a match like that. You can't continue and you still toe that line and FF the match. An illegal slam is a judgment call and not one person from any county in the state that saw that match that I've spoken with thought the slam was illegal. Integrity! Well it seems as though ...

The "illegal" slam that cost Noah Adams a 4th state championship was terrible. So a wrestler performs an illegal move on another and that’s terrible call? That makes zero sense. Can’t have special considerations and rules for a special wrestler. Try again Disagree, kid wrestled the rest o...

Oh, and by the way, Coach Flynn has produced 38 All Americans and 3 different NCAA champions. Even coaching in the middle of nowhere, he has led Edinboro to five top ten finishes at the NCAA Division I National Championships, and 13 top 20 finishes. No other candidate compares who would possibly ac...

I have followed college wrestling and subscribed to publications like AWN and WIN for 20 years. Here is my read: 1. We can not hire an assistant without previous head coaching experience. The learning curve is too great at the D-1 level. Coach Mazey in baseball was a TCU assistant when hired by WVU...

West Virginia University wrestling is a sleeping giant. AD Shane Lyons is a Parkersburg guy who understands this. The WPIAL conference, by far the best high school wrestling league in the country, starts its boundary a few miles from the Coliseum. Why our wrestling coaches don’t lock down Western P...

I figured Amos would get outstanding wrestler this year since no one scored on him Are you certain no points were scored? No but I would say it wasn’t many..insanely talented He gave up 0 points. 0 take downs, 0 back points. Only points his opponents scored were when he let them up. 0 offensive poi...

160 happened back in Dec. Hinzman dec Gibson 4-2 in OT. Great match up though. Moler also beat Quiocho at regionals... things change in Huntington sometimes. I’m going with Gibson in the 3rd match.

Great match up though.

Happened at Powerade too and Hinzman won in regulation by decision

Braxton gave up 2 single escape points at Ironman and was unscored upon at Powerade. He also gave up a single escape point in the OVAC final. Unprecedented stats for a WV high school wrestler Letting them up isn’t giving up points. Either way it isn’t an offensive point like a take down or back poi...
