Re: Bearhugger is out
I have enjoyed the discussions, debates, arguments and everything else that has gone along with engaging on WVMat. The 2019 season was my last. It is time to focus on wrestling here in North Carolina, learning the "who's who" and spending less time on the road traveling up to WV every wee...

Re: At Large Bids, Rankings, Etc
NCAA also has a recovery week between conference qualifiers and the national tournament. WVSSAC gets crucified for doing the same between regional and state.

Re: Moving up?
It does say individual sports but if you read the article it says that a school could chose to move up in one sport but not make all sports move up. The headline is a bit confusing.

Re: Controversial Matches
Our coaches will not win a match like that. You can't continue and you still toe that line and FF the match.
