I see that Gage Wright is wrestling in the 256-wrestler bracket at 170. See results on high school thread for WV wrestlers.

Very solid results. Six wins and two 1-point losses by Peyton indicates he’s right there with the best.

3x WV state champ and rising high school senior Gage Wright of Parkersburg South announced on
@mattimewv that he has committed to Virginia Tech.

FloWrestling reporting that high school senior to be Rune Lawrence, a 3X PA state AA champ (currently ranked #8 at 195 including graduating seniors) from nearby Frazier HS 30 miles south of Pittsburgh, has announced on social media that he has committed to WVU. Lawrence is the #13 ranked recruit ove...

I assume you’re asking following this April 7 announcement on SoonerSports.com: NORMAN — University of Oklahoma Vice President and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione announced Wednesday afternoon that head wrestling coach Lou Rosselli has resigned. Rosselli, who was hired at OU in 2016, led the Soon...

As an alumnus, there is nothing I love more than to discuss WVU sports. But with a 13th place finish in the Big 12 tournament and only one All-American (8th place finisher), I have no reason to believe that year 6 of this coaching staff will yield any better results than years 1-5. I hope the new AD...

Cardinale finished 8th as WVU’s only All American. Announcer said he is in WVU Medical School, which makes this all the more impressive. Congratulations.

I thought the call in the semifinals match giving Humphreys only 1 not 2 points (which would’ve forced the match into overtime) was just plainly wrong.

Nevertheless, an incredible tournament by Josh. Congratulations!

Have all of our WVU qualifiers now been eliminated by Friday afternoon? Not even one All-American this year? WVU still has Killian left in the tournament. He’ll face Ungar of Cornell in blood round to guarantee another All-American finish. Spencer Lee got stuck in the semifinals by Purdue’s Ramos. ...

Finishing in 13th place of 14 teams in the Big 12 tournament is alarming, to say it politely.

I hope our qualifiers bounce back in the NCAA tournament.

West Liberty University had four All-Americans in the D-2 national tournament (Cole Laya - 125, Vincent Scollo -133, Alec Cook - 165, and Ty McGeary-national champion- 184). WLU finished in sixth place in the team standings with 55 points. Layla was a 3x state WV champ at East Fairmont. Cook was a 2...

An incredible accomplishment! Congratulations.

AA/A and AAA state finals matches are up on YouTube. Search WVSSAC.

I’m not sure if this has been publicized elsewhere, but if not, it should be.

The lack of a livestream is unacceptable and the WVSSAC needs to step up. The OVAC finals are streamed live by John Marshall High School students. Surely our state tournament deserves as much. Come on WV high school principals— demand a little more for these kids that work so hard.

If so, can someone post a link? Thx.

From the Tribune-Democrat. This would be a nice WVU recruit in a few years. EDINBORO – Competing against collegiate wrestlers, Bishop McCort Catholic freshman Jax Forrest captured the title at 125 pounds during Sunday’s Edinboro Open at PennWest Edinboro. Forrest mowed down unaffiliated Gannon wrest...

Keep in mind the last time wvu and fsu(formally fsc) wrestled , 1977, fsc kicked wvu’s butt. Local matches are great for fans and programs. I was at this match and fsu had about the same amount of fans that wvu had. Yes the 133 was not expected but that is why you wrestle. Sometimes someone just ge...

All three tournaments are rigorous, but…the OVAC conference is the largest of its kind in the country. Some 50 member high schools with over 18,000 student athletes. The conference just added three large Ohio schools: Dover, New Philadelphia and Warren. Link to list of OVAC schools: https://en.wikip...

Big win for Coach Flynn and team at arch rival Pitt before a packed house. Jordan Titus whipped #1 Cole Matthews at 141 to get the upset train rolling and Peyton Hall came up with a clutch pin at 165 in front of a couple of bus loads of youth wrestlers and fans from his native Hancock County. But it...

This Sunday, January 8, 2023, 2pm Pitt’s Fitzgerald Fieldhouse.

Ty Waters was the champion at 152# and and Shawn Taylor finished third at 160#.

Excellent tournament for both of these future Mountaineers.
