Reclassification vs The WV State Duals Qualification
Regional tournaments happened in February and the top four teams to compete for a chance to compete at the 2025 State Duals Championship were identified. With the proposed regional realignment, this creates some reworking and possible conceding. Fairmont Senior is going from AA/A Region 1 to AAA Reg...

Re: AA/A ranked wrestlers per region
It's been easy for a school like Indy or Point (mainly Point) to dominate at states because they send their full line up every year compared to whomever is the best school in region 1. Region 4 is Point and that's it, literally no one else at all. Ouch. I guess i will chime in. But before anyone sa...

Re: Reclassification
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...

Re: AA/A ranked wrestlers per region
They've never been balanced, if Point Pleasant or Independence were in Region 1 the last 10 years, I'd love to know how many wrestlers they would've brought to Huntington year in and year out.

Before the semifinals happen, Pill 2 or Pill 3 should have been selected for AA/A 132. Pill 2 or 3 would have put Lamb and Minor on the same side.

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.

Re: Region 1 A/AA
I attended AA/A Region 1 on Saturday. 1. I was probably the only person in attendance that was not affiliated with any of the participating schools. 2. The level of competition surpassed any event I attended this past season. The only exception might be the WSAZ but it is very close. More to come.

For the sake of this topic, there are two kinds of wrestlers. Perhaps a small minority makes up a third kind. 1. Wrestlers who begin the season in the weight class that they finish the season in. 2.
