Re: AA/A ranked wrestlers per region
Last year Herbert Hoover (Region 3) and Braxton County (Region 2) finished ahead of both Oak Glen (Region 1) and Berkley Springs (Region 1) in the State Tournament. So what's your point? It goes in cycles. What's your solution to "evening out" the regions? There's no doubt that Region 1 i...

To Answer the original question KDunbar said Fairmont Senior has never been a powerhouse of a program and people started going after him. But the guy is completely wrong. Fairmont Senior, as well as East Fairmont, and North Marion have all shown dominance in the sport. Wood County has the most state...

Re: AA/A ranked wrestlers per region
The whole point that a/aa region one is much tougher to qualify for the state tournament. I have seen no argument that disputes this. Actually I believe the point was to imply that wrestlers from R2, R3 and R4 are not as worthy of being at states as R1 wrestlers. That is the way it came off anyway....

Lloyd Christmas wrote:Heck region 1 had a ranked returning state placer not make the state tourney this year. Obviously he would have won some matches had he won in the blood round.

Re: New Classification
Some are gonna benefit from this new classification and some will Lose. Some won’t matter really. In my opinion, if the schools get classified the same as listed, then the only teams that benefit are the A@AA teams. Winning a championship becomes much easier, having taken away most of the better pr...

Re: AA/A ranked wrestlers per region
Yea teams are going to have to travel its just how it is, but what made region1 unbalanced in the first place was when Marion County went AA and all three schools joined. Then it got ridiculously unbalanced when Berkley Springs, Petersburg, and Keyser all joined later on. Last classification they sk...

Re: New Classification
Having multiple classes definitely diminishes things, look at VA, 6 classes and 6 championships per sport. How about reconfigure the way the current classes are and not allow schools to play the number games to fit whatever it is they want. I think 4 classes is needed in football, however I'm all f...

In March the SSAC is meeting to look into making Football and other sports into 4 classes. There's a great possibility they're going to keep the State Wrestling Tournament into 2 classes but with AAAA-AAA & AA-A. If this happens, it'll definitely change the landscape of wrestling. For Example, P...

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. And yes I'm saying the southern regions are weaker than hell

Re: Weight Classes
You're spot on. Losing the 182lb weight class puts a damper on a lot of potential football players wrestling. Honestly I don't understand why there isn't a weight class in-between 215lb-285lb, if you look in schools today they're more big kids than ever before. Look at high school football rosters ...
