There’s no question about how strong Region 1 AA/A is. There’s no sense getting all upset about it. The WVSSAC is not going to change. It is what it is.

The PVC Wrestling Tournament is going to take place this Saturday, February 3rd, at Hampshire High School. Weigh-ins are at 8 AM and wrestling will begin at 10 AM.

I always thought a two class bump allowance was something that could be looked at. It may give teams the ability to better fill all their weight classes for dual meets. Back in the day, before the 215 weight class, 190 pounders could wrestle 285, and many of them held their own there. Always fun to ...

Both Frankfort Wrestlers Kris Sherman (145) and Iryll Jones (120) surpassed the 100 career win mark. Very proud of these kids.

I would actually like to see the Single A class continue to grow to the point they can have their own class. Virginia has six different classes in wrestling, so they have six different state champions. I think it would be great for the smaller schools to have their own class and state champions. Let...

That would be cool if the WVSSAC would allow it.

Eight Districts and top four make it to regionals. Four regions and top four make it to States. One classification for States. Sounds like a good show where the true cream rises to the top.

Not gonna lie, WV Mat is the best high school wrestling site out of the wrestling sites for all 50 states. Bar none.

Frankfort High School is looking for opponents to come to FHS to wrestle next season. We have three open dates. We are at home on Wednesday, December 1st. We would like to make this one a dual or a tri. Currently we are seeking teams for this one. We are home on Tuesday, January 11th. If possible, w...

Please stay vigilant in following the recommended guidelines. We are very lucky to be able to have wrestling this season. Plain and simple: wear a mask indoors in public places and outdoors where large crowds are gathered, avoid large crowds and gatherings if possible, maintain six feet distance bet...

I like the three tournament setting as well.

now

With the way that basketball programs are realigned, the wrestling tournament is split between the AAA-AA-A class and the AAAA class.

Based on the newly released basketball configurations, it is not the AAA-AA-A State Tournament and the AAAA State Tournament.

I was but I wasn't being sarcastic. Considering I had four other wrestlers on my team who did not qualify for States out of Region 1 AA, but they crushed wrestlers in other regions in both AA and AAA who made it to states, there's no doubt the road to Huntington is much tougher for Region 1 AA. Chan...

Might as well just throw out the separate classification system and just have one class with four regions and eight districts (two per region.) Top four in each district qualify for regionals. Top four in each region qualifies for States. One State Champion in each weight class plain and simple. No ...

There are no freebies anywhere in AA/A Region 1.

Congratulations to Frankfort’s Noah Kiszka on getting his 150th career win as a Falcon wrestler today at the Petersburg Viking Smash.

Last night in the Backyard Brawl, WVU started four wrestlers who wrestled high school in WV. All four of them were from the AA/A class.

I agree with mscoach. It needs changed.

There are enough single A schools with wrestling to have a separate single A class in wrestling. There should be a separate single A class.

Congratulations to Frankfort 152 lb. wrestler Noah Kiszka for getting his 100th career victory over the weekend at the Fort Hill Super Duals Tournament in Cumberland, Maryland.

Sadly, it's just a monster that has developed over time, and it will not change anytime soon. It sucks, because schools like mine have no money allocated to individual team budgets. Financially, we only have what we earn in fundraisers and home match gates. Any checks the school makes out in the for...

Individual coaches set the standard for lettering. If it makes you feel any better, all six of my wrestlers earned their varsity letter. I told them about the sports banquet ahead of time. Only two of them came to it. Earning a letter just doesn't seem to be a big thing anymore. I remember when I pl...

Congratulations to Frankfort 138 pound wrestler Austin Pumphrey for earning his 175th career win as a Falcon Wrestler at the Petersburg Viking Smash on Saturday.

Frankfort High School is looking for schools who may be interested in coming to our place for duals, tri's, and/or quads. The following home dates are open for us: December 19, Jamuary 16, January 24, February 2, and February 7. If you need a weigh-in or two let me or AD Jay Hesse know. You can reac...

Congratulations to Frankfort 138 lb. wrestler Austin Pumphrey for earning his 100th career victory as a Frankfort Falcon this weekend at the Mountaineer Duals Matchups Tournament in Clarksburg.

Less than a month away. We are looking forward to a great turnout.
