Update on State tournament All Sessions pass
Just spoke with the Mountain Health Arena Box Office. They will be open tomorrow starting 10 AM until 8 pm. Did not check on prices for single sessions tickets, but for All Sessions passes (despite their website listing the price at $45) the price at the box office will be $50. I didn't ask if they ...

Time is running out and a seemingly simple question for those in charge to answer remains. Is the cost at the gate/box office the face value price or since everything is digital, will there be the same fees added to the cost?

Re: High School freshman wins Edinboro Open
Well you are speculating but if he is roughly the same age as a HS junior then touting him as a freshman is misleading. If he was 15 in June or July of 2021, that would actually make him quickly approaching 17 in about 4 months or less. That would be the average Junior I would think and that was wh...

Re: High School freshman wins Edinboro Open
I found a video of him wrestling in the 16-U division in July of 2021. I think it is safe to assume that he would have been 15 years old at that time. If this is the case, he would be at least 16 years now, which is only one year older than most everyone in his grade. He could have started school a...

Well, right now there are 16 wrestlers in AAA and 16 wrestlers in AA/A or 32 combined total. How would you set up regional competition and how many from each region.

Re: AAA Predictions
We'll have to see what "upsets" occur that changes expectations. But I see it as a different 2 team race and with both teams performing about as expected (and without trying to guess what bonus points will be scored) I come up with only a single point seperating #1 and #2.

AAA State bracket pairing and the pill
Unless I'm mistaken, it appears the coaches committee in AAA was fortunate in how things worked out (that is if one feels the brackets worked out to be "fair" based on the pill drawn, which I personally do). Essentially, every weight class has the brackets for pill 3, which I'm assuming wa...

WV HS wrestling needs 4 divisions. You will still have your two brackets like now.

You can look at the numbers and easily figure out how...
