Team Polls - AAA / AA / A

From Bill Archer: Bridgeport will not be participating in the AAA state tournament due to COVID quarantine restrictions. The following weight classes are affected: 120, 138, 145, 160, 170, 182, 195, and 285. All Region I wrestlers will be bumped up where applicable, and the AAA Region I 5th-place finisher in each weight class will now fill the "F1" position in the respective brackets.

Complete updates will be posted soon, and corrected brackets will be forthcoming. Coaches will be given updated brackets at the state tournament.

Editor's note: While it's always heartbreaking for a wrestler to have to withdraw from the state tournament for any reason, it's absolutely devastating when an entire team has to withdraw. I am not ashamed to say that I am a praying person. I am sincerely praying for peace and comfort for these young men, their coaches, their families, and their fans. Please take a moment to do the same, and also thank God for His mercy. It could just as well have been YOUR team. Please do what you need to do to remain healthy for the next several days.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TICKET DISTRIBUTION:
Tickets for class AAA may be picked up by a team representative on Sunday April 18 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, and on Monday morning from 8:00-9:00. Teams will distribute the spectator tickets. AA-A tickets are being mailed to the school.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE CHANGES IN DIRECTIONS TO THE MOUNTAIN HEALTH ARENA!
From Bill Archer:
Due to construction there is a change in directions to Mountain Health Arena for the State Wrestling Tournament. The 10th street viaduct is closed.

For those who get off the 5th street exit:, go down what is a big hill until you see 8th Ave. Turn right.

When you get to 8th Street you will see the closed viaduct. Go two more blocks straight ahead. You will see the 10th Street viaduct on the left. Go under the 10th Street viaduct and stay on 10th Street until you get to 3rd Ave. Turn left and go 3 blocks. The Mountain Health Arena is on the right.

Attention High School Coaches: Check the Coaches Only area of the Forum and Vote/Comment on the second set (post regional) 2021 Individual Wt Class Rankings* as well as the latest 2021 Team Poll (which should be ready for voting later today). As always, if you need a username/password to get in this area, send an email to wvmat@outlook.com and we'll set one up for you.

Note that this is a special area of the forum to which only coaches have access. Also, coach usernames/passwords given for voting purposes are given as aaacoach456 or some such, and email attached to that particular coach's name come to me. That is so that coaches may vote anonymously - no identifying data is associated with these usernames. If you have access you have been using for a few years and are OK with it, that is fine.

* Individual rankings are totally independent of the pill, so for instance, a deserving wrestler can still be ranked #2, even if he is expected to meet the #1-ranked wrestler in the quarterfinals or semifinals.

From Independence athletic director:
Due to the restriction on seating capacity placed on us by the county health department and our county board we can only have 25% seating capacity in our gym. This was based on the number of wrestlers entered into the regional tournament this year. To keep this fair for all wrestlers we will allow each athlete two tickets.

AA/A Region II seeding meeting is tonight.

Disclaimer: We have already received word from AAA Region 4 that there are several weight class changes that will not be reflected in these rankings. There will probably be changes in all regions in both classes. We will release a subsequent set of individual rankings AFTER the regional tournaments.

Note from Bill Archer regarding state tournament ticket limitations: The rules we were given for now by the civic center, governor and WVSSAC - capacity is limited to 1180, not counting workers, wrestlers and officials.

FROM THE WVSSAC REGARDING THE 50% RULE:
Due to the ongoing pandemic, an already shortened season and after conferring with sports medicine
and the coaches committee the 50% weigh-in rule has been removed for the 2020-2021 season.

However, should a wrestler choose to wrestle at a lower weight class for the regional and state tournament
he/she must have weighed in at the lower weight class at least once during the regular season.

NEW EDITOR will be taking over soon. Stay tuned...
(And be patient. This takes time...)

Question: Is the correct sentence "This takes a while" or is it "This takes awhile?"
And is it Sentence or sentense?
And should I use "The correct sentence/sentense..." or "The correct phrase...?"
(By the way, does that last question mark go between the 2nd and 3rd periods, or after the third period?

Answer: Just write "This takes time."

Good luck editing

Update 3/11/20. It is now 10:38 AM. I just got out of bed and am checking this. I went thru my email last night (about 200 or 300 emails) (about 2:00 or 3:00 AM, before I went to bed), and checked all the email in my inbox, and the junk mail folder, and also the email that comes in the "coaches" and "scores" and "other stuff" folders, and forwarded the emails that concerned "wrestling" to the new editor. It should only take the new editor a few months to sort it all out. Stay tuned...

... and what's the difference between a sentense/sentence and a phrase... Attention students: You better know this. It may show up on your SAT test... (Updated 3/11 at 11:08 AM)

Which High School in West Virginia could do the BEST National Anthem?

Solo artist, chorus, how about chorus and band, or maybe CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA, maybe rock band, or barbershop quartet? Maybe something like a church choir or show choir?

Which school would have the BEST? It would of course be a judgement call, and judgement calls are unheard of in activities such as basketball, football, wrestling, baseball, etc. Right?

Maybe we can work it in somehow with the State Wrestling Tournament.

The State Championship National Anthem Singing finals could occur in conjunction with the Wrestling State Tournament in Huntington. Whatever the entry is, they would have to appear on the mat and be ready to sing/play in 5 minutes, and leave the mat when finished in 5 minutes.
See this and this and this, etc. (Note: Old-Timer's Disease may be at work here).

February 19 National Girls High School Rankings

National Wrestling Hall of Fame, USA Wrestling and FloWrestling are again partnered to create national rankings for high school girls wrestlers for the 2019-20 season.

Starting with this ranking, there will be 25 athletes ranked in each of the 14 weight classes, an increase from the 20 athletes ranked in each weight since the national ranking was launched in July of 2017. This was done due to the explosive growth of girls high school wrestling nationwide, as well as the expansion of girls state championships.

This ranking evaluates all girls enrolled in grades 9-12, and includes athletes from all 50 states. There are 21 states which sponsor official or emerging girls state high school championships, while many other states are also developing their girls high school program.

The ranking list will indicate what the athlete's ranking was in the January rankings.

This ranking reflects results from a large number of official and unofficial girls state wrestling championships, held all over the United States, so far this year. Official state tournaments already held include Alaska, Colorado, Georgia and Arizona. Among the unofficial state girls meets held across the nation were Indiana, Iowa, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Nevada, Kentucky, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina and Idaho.

There is only one new No. 1 ranked wrestler in the February 2020 rankings, Illinois native Korina Blades, who is a sophomore at Wyoming Seminary in Pennsylvania and is ranked in the 127-pound weight class. Blades joins her sister Kennedy Blades, who also attends Wyoming Seminary and is ranked No. 1 nationally at 164 pounds.

Coming up in the next ranking, expected to be posted by mid-March, will be official state tournaments in Maine, Arkansas, Missouri, Hawaii, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Kansas, California, Oregon, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and New Jersey. Other unofficial state meets to watch for results are Ohio, Oklahoma, Illinois and others.

After the next ranking, the major off-season girls wrestling competitions will be hosted. Athletes seeking to improve their ranking or break into the national rankings are highly recommended to attend the 2020 USA Wrestling Girls Folkstyle National Championships, set for the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado, March 26-29. This is the largest national girls folkstyle tournament in the nation, featuring outstanding athletes from across the nation. Talented and motivated girl high school wrestlers traditionally enter this event.

Projected publication dates for the national girls high school rankings are March 11, April 29 and July 1.

The staffs from these three leading wrestling organizations are working together to strategically publish this ranking throughout the year. The girls high school ranking will appear on the websites of all three organizations, and be promoted through each of their different media platforms.

The committee expects to publish its first National Girls High School Team Rankings in March, sometime after all of the state tournaments are completed.

Coaches, parents and athletes are encouraged to provide specific information about athletes and high school teams for the committee to consider. If you have information on specific girls who should be considered for ranking, please send it by email to girlsrankings@usawrestling.org

Memo from Coach Bill Archer, Long Time State Wrestling Tournament Director (48 years), former Head Coach Huntington High School, WV HS State Champ 127lbs 1966 Huntington High, Inducted WV Chapter NWHOF in 2007:
The City, County, Convention Bureau and the Archer Family donated over $21,000 to the State Tournament. The State Tournament profit to the the WVSSAC was $35,000. The rules clinic (not much) comes out of this too.
Wrestling was one of the few tournament events that did not have revenue go down last year.
Wrestling has had tremendous growth. If you can believe this, our first tournament we used the first mat side scoreboard, (if you can believe it - 2 sided), 4 mats, and we moved the partition that slides out at about 65 per cent of arena.
We are adjusting the seats this year to back for early rounds and moving them back out for Saturday matches, to pick back up the 600 seats for the finals.
Huntington High purchased the mats and clocks. Huntington High receives $1000 rent for mats and clocks. When we rented them before we had the clocks it was $ 6400.
These are the facts. I believe the WVSSAC has made this of public record.
This close to the WSAZ tournament with a record breaking 1400 wrestlers I am beginning to think am too old for this.

Memo from Robert St Clair regarding bracketing format change WSAZ HS: Again all 64 man losers will be eliminated and double elimination from 32 man on. This is the same format we ran in Middle School already.
I apologize for the late change, I didn't realize that we would grow this much in one year. We are looking at ideas to get us back to true double elimination in the future.

Washington Elite Opener: December 4, 2021
Washington High School will be hosting its second annual Elite Opener on December 4, 2021. All wrestlers will get 5 matches, wrestlers will be seeded 1st through 12th, then put into 3 pools of 4. Depending on how they finish in their pool will determine what placing matches they will be put into- example the top wrestler in each pool will wrestle for 1st-3rd and bottom wrestlers from each pool will wrestle for 10th-12th. All teams that finish in the top 8 will be able to return, and we will choose the best 4 that apply for the following year to keep the tournament tough. Results from 2019 are on track if you’d like to look at the tournament.
