The same idiots that ran the state tournament last year aka the WVSSAC.

I am unaware of the Federal government sanctioning any sporting event. Sounds like someone fed you a line of bull. Video can be used in high school sporting events, WVSSAC just doesn't allow it. Two years ago Alabama started experimenting with coach's challenges and video replay in some of their ex...

I can recall a young official who started out at a very young age and was only wanting to give back to the sport he grew up participating in and loved. After about 3 years he folded to the pressure. Not from any wrestler or coach, but from parents and fans. He was a very nice and quiet young man an...

I am on the side of this extra score keeper approach. for video I think we have to look at a) how much would it cost to implement? (Video camera with immediate playback, multiple angles, Monitors) b) when is it available to be used? State Finals, Semi-Finals/finals? the entire state tournament? Eac...

The WVSSAC has plenty of excuses for a lot of things, unfortunately none of them are valid.

Agreed. Fact: Ward won the state title. “Watch out for the ringworm!” WV Mat Moderator Disagree, Ward was incorrectly awarded the win, he DID NOT win it. I wonder what the opinions of the two officials and the two table scorers are now? Well at least we know what the state rules interpreters opinio...

10 seconds remaining would not be the point in the match to consider. It would be the point where the score was first incorrectly reflected...early in the 3rd period. Would you wrestle more aggressively knowing you were down by 3 points? As opposed to thinking a single take down would tie it up? I ...

The schools may be warm, but its getting everyone to and from school thats the problem. Raleigh county for example, is a pretty large county geographically. Although some students get driven to school, most ride busses. Some students get on their busses as early as 6:15 AM. Additionally there are l...

Is there a fourth????

I can only think of one, Noah Adams.

Three man Dutton Award race?

Heck let's just give every team a participation trophy.

Personally I would prefer that the winners and placers awards be improved ... I think the individual champs deserve more than a small plaque.

Agree, waste of time.

Did not give up a single point in either Greco or freestyle.

Noah Adams is a Cadet Pan-American Gold Medalist in Greco-Roman.

Noah Adams advances to the gold medal match with a 9-0 technical fall over Christopher O'Toole of Canada.

Independence's Noah Adams will represent the United States in the Cadet Pan Am games in Peru, July 1-3. Leaving June 28, Good luck and safe travels.

Congratulations to Noah Adams. 195 pound NHSCA Junior National Champion !

Jacob Hart Seventh Place at 170 pounds
Alex Daniels Second Place at 220 pounds
And the CHAMPION at 195 pounds Noah Adams!

Disagree

In the 152lbs AA final, there was a point awarded for an illegal hold. The amount of time from when the hold was applied to when the action was stopped was too long. A point was awarded but the time was not restored. Whereas I was watching the wrestlers through binoculars, I didn't see the ref's po...

So true

I always thought that middle school coaches voted on it.
