comments: I have posted some lengthy articles this year so I'll try to keep this one short. Overall Cameron is as ready to make a run at the region and states as they have been since '94. Qualifying 11 wrestlers out of region I is the goal. With a little luck it will come to pass. Eight or more of them can score highly at states. At this point Oak Glen looks formidable as does Williamstown (in our region). Independence and Wirt impressed me greatly at Berkely Springs. States seem as close to wide open as they may ever get. Good luck to all comers.

About Tyler Hughes and the Haddox match. I would never put pressure on Tyler to even try to pin Haddox (should the score get comfortable enough to try) but haddox is not Wenmoth (as good as he may be). Tyler has never went out of his way to do the "team' thing and go for pins. Physically it has never been to his advantage nor did it lend itself to his style of wrestling. Desperate wrestlers do occasionally get pinned making that last ditch effort to salvage a win. This could happen to anyone. Let's just hope for an exciting match with good officiating where the official doesn't feel obliged to try to force both wrestlers to score twenty points each just to please the crowd. These matches are for the wrestlers not the spectators! Good luck to each and every participant. May you all remain healthy and have fun.

South (11) Huntington (7) Parkersburg (7) Herbert Hoover (6) Nitro (6) John Marshall (6) University (5) East Fairmont (5) Fairmont Senior (5) Wheeling Park (4) Ripley (4) Point Pleasant (4). Swami picked East Fairmont 8th behind University because he likes University better. You asked. Ain't I allowed to have favorites also?

comments: To 'Curious Mat Fan'.....
You ask the question.....how can a wrestler be at one weight class all year and move up at regionals. If you're referring to the 215 pound weight class you have your facts wrong. The top seeded wrestler has wrestled back and forth at 215 and 189 this year. In fact I've seen where he's defeated such wrestlers as Magnolia's Weaver JM's Wells ..... I've seen him wrestle at OVAC's and liked his chances at 189 but like them a little better at 215. I believe the latter will increase the team's chances.

comments: For EJ:
I hope this will answer your questions about AAA region 1 seedings. First Garvin and Humpfries(sorry if mispelled) have not wrestled head to head this year. Garvin was out of the line-up the night the two teams met. Hope that helps there. But this should solve all the questions. No coaches for Wheeling Park attended the seeding meeting on Monday so not all was discussed at the meeting.

From: To Answere A Question

comments: To the "one" that said that Riverside has beaten Hurricane twice so far this year in the 152 class. It is wrong. They have only wrestled once so far this year and it was right after Tornifolio got stitches in his mouth and was forced out of wrestling for a while. I think it will be a good class with good competition.

comments: Well first off to answer a question O'niel will definately have to wrestle 215 at states. Also if you look at the criteria for seeding Delbreaugh(sorry for spelling)of Williamstown has one up so to speak on Magnone for seeding. Although I don't approve of Cameron's move to put O'niel at 215 he does prolly have a better chance of winning it there.

February 15, 2001
comments: yes of course if he wrestles 215 in reagonals he must wrestle the same weight at state.

comments: How can u pick East Fairmont 8th come on they will most likely place hi at 145 place at 160 and send 4 to the finals and all with great shots at the title. When you add in some guys that win a match or two you have to have East at least 2nd South however will have shot at 5 champs with prolly 3 winning and with there region all there guys go and have chance to wrestle back and place but if East can get 10 down there it will be closer than expected. Also a good luck to all Marion Cty. teams at Regionals let's show Wood County what we're made of!!!!

From: Region I watcher
comments: I find it ridiculous that Vince Magnone of Weir received only a #3 seed in Region I despite a 39-2 record with with both losses coming to the defending state champ--one on penalty points and the other in a match which was 1-0 with a minute left. What is the criteria for seeding? Since Wyatt moved up to 215 a #2 seed should have been a no brainer. Please post this as I hope to generate serious discussion on the regional seeding process.

February 13, 2001
From: EJ
I am questioning how seeds for regionals were picked as a couple of weight classes seem out of place. first of all the 112 lb class in region 1 leaves Brian Humphries of Wheeling Park out of the seeding but he beat both Griffin Stipetich of JM and Jared Garvin of Morgantown. He soundly defeated both wrestlers in their head to head matches yet they were awarded seeds above him???? Also in the 145 lb wt class. Joel Gramlich of WP beat Dowler of Parkersburg, by fall, yet is seeded behind him in the Region. Someone really missed the boat here folks as especially in Joel's case it certainly affects his chances to finish second instead of third since he hasn't wrestled the Park South head to head and maybe could beat him in the semi. That also effects their potential seeding in state tournament. I am not real happy because the first seeding qualification should be head to head matches. Please explain how this happened.

From: B. Hughes, Assistant Coach
I would like to start out by saying congratulations to all Region I A-AA wrestlers on making this one of the most exciting years of wrestling I have ever seen. I also would like to take a moment (don't think me rude for commending my own team) to congratulate Tyler Consolidated High School on a fine season. It looks as though (God willing) we will have state qualifiers at 125,135,140,152, and 275lb weight classes. While this is no great feat for exceptional teams such as Cameron, Williamstown, and Oak Glen, it is a milestone for our small team which has only 9 wrestlers competing in the regional tournament ; which in my opinion, is by far the toughest region in the state. Tyler gets little or no recognition during the course of the year for our wrestlers' hard work and determination which is largely overshadowed by the outstanding acheivements of the larger schools.. I am proud of all of our boys..(oops and one girl). Give us another 5 years and we just may surprise some of these grappling giants! May all wrestlers be granted strength and safety in the upcoming regional and state tournaments.

comments: To the person commenting on the regional pick of Ryan Bird to be regional champion: that prediction came from "one" of the most talented wrestlers in the state show a little respect. If he says Bird is gonna win... well maybe he will. I was suprised to see the Keyser kid beat Bird Brid beat that kid twice earlier this year. He must have gotten alot better and Bird will beat Pruit at regionals you have my "super word".

PS- Go Chris Leach beat u know who in the fianls for me.
Editor's note: Information I have is that it is one day. Webster moved to III, leaving 8 teams in AA/A 2, which would allow a one day tournamet. Howver, double check with your coach or school official to be sure....

comments: OH MY states is getting closer but first we got regionals. South of course will be on top at both and yes I am biased but I realize the facts South is untouchable in the state. And again I am biased so I am saying a toss up between Casey Daggett and Aaron McCartney for MOW. Casey is good really really good he has skill and sportsmanship that is also what matters although some people have forgot that being a good sport does matter. The same goes for Aaron. Chris will beat Miller at States. Grogg will win states I am thinking him and Easter in the finals they have wrestled one another before keep your eye on that match it will be a good one. Then Conley I belive will be back so he will finish in the top although because he didn't wreslte for South last year he missed a little competition so I am not sayin first for him. Ryan will wrestle in finals against Stevens best of luck to both but I am rootin for Ryan I say he has it in double overtime. Bosley will win states. B. Pickens will have a good showing although I am not predicting a first place for him either. I say John Duncan will win state and he also may be a canidate for MOW he has class about him. I see J.J. in the top three I have to take in consideration he has been out for three weeks. I also am counting Dye up there he has shown a lot of what he can do this year he is a great wrestler look out next year for a State title for him if not this year. Nathan has it all to take home with him just as long as he wrestles like he can. Wright has stepped up some during this latter part of the season keep working Matt you'll get it. Chris Morrison has the potential to be first in the state keep your head up and wrestle hard make them wrestle don't tie up heavy weights love that you wrestle like you are in the 145 pund weight class you have the speed and the skill to beat any HWT in the state. Best of luck to all the teams. Go South keep up the tradition.

February 13, 2001
comments: So much to say. First off the hole thing about a parent from one school taping another team. That sounds like NOTHING to me I mean come on if your team is wrestling someone weather it is going to be a good match or not and you tape it is that not the same thing. So are you saying that both things are wrong. You can learn a lot from watching other wrestlers I know I am one you can learn new moves or you can learn new techniques on the moves you already have. You aren't nessecarilly scouting someone but but maybe learning from that wrestler or maybe you are wrestling and your parent tapes it then you have to wrestle that guy/girl at lets say states you watched the tape from the last time you wrestled him/her and you learn from your mistakes. Or maybe you are using it as a coaching tool for helping kids. So think before you speak. Secondly I agree mostly with Superman's predictions although for some I do not but that goes with the territory. South has a lot of potential some wrestlers on any team have there good days and there bad days some wait until the end to turn it up. Some of the predictions on here are unreal some people are just daydreaming about who can walk farther because they aren't talking wrestling.

comments: Im back once again kiddies with my latest installment of future happenings. I foresee South taking team title at states but not without a hassle from the rest of the pack. My prediction for OW will be Matt Miller that is if he survives the tough weight class of 171 with most of the competition coming from his region. cant leave out a few stars look for Bonasso Easter Johnson and Ripley to come through with a good tourney although johnson has his work cuz out for him he will pull his weight and be in the finals. Whether or not he wins is a foggy detail. Just want to say that jonathan Delligatti will come through with a great regionals and a great state tourney with a finals appearance once again against matt easter. I tried not to be too biased with my predictions for i am form the region II area and havent had the chance to follow as much this year as i have had in teh past couple of years. I wish all wrestlers good luck all teams safe travels and a great two weekends of wrestling.
Truly yours the SALAMI SWAMI.

comments: I would hope that all this talk of kids at the Junior level of wrestling who is bragging is written by kids. If any parent of our club is doing this i sure hope you stop. It is childish and imature. I am sure my good friend Mike Litton feels the same way. We have always ran a class act from Parkersburg . I have had the pleasure of coaching with Mike Litton at the Cougars for several years before taking over the Patriot Club. I have never known any parent boasting from the Cougars or the Patriots. So If you are a parent from our club you will be excused if i find out this childish act was done buy you. Kids have enough pressure on them with all the hard work and time it takes to be sucessful at this sport. Results in the WV Mat page should be enough to see who has won or lost.

comments: To Editor is there a specfic reason for not posting my region II predictions? I worked on them for over an hour I didn't do it for my health. They weren't trash talking I just called it like I see it.
Editor's note: Sometimes it is hard to read between the lines and tell if a contributer is pumping up a wrestler or poking fun at him. I've been scratching my head over some of your posts all season. The one you sent in earlier this season (I think it was you) referring to somebody as "Hannibal Lectre" almost got by me. Your contribution in question made reference to a wrestler as ...... John "Above Average" Doe........ This is clearly a dis, and thus leads me to suspect that your other sobriquets may be insults disguised as catchy nicknames. That's the way I see it.

comments: yo for the dude who said region 3 was going to be Warner beating Tornfolio at 152 is just plum stupid. Riverside's 152 has beaten Hurricane twice this year both time in the 2nd round with a pin. I predict that Cochran will take the region with ease or at least get 2nd. You shouldn't underestimate Huntigton at 152 either Look for this class to be a good class in region 3.

comments: Comments: It is time MS gets out of the "Dark Ages" and gets in touch with WV wrestling. "That Miller kid" is Matt Miller from East Fairmont. He is a two time state champion---look for him to make it three and he will probably be the OW at states in 2001. By the way MS that Miller kid beat Dagget in an exhibition match last spring. In another matter good luck to all the East Fairmont wrestlers at the Region II tournament in Keyser this weekend---you can win the championship with extra effort from each team member. GO BEES!!!!!

comments: casey daggett is an outstanding wrestle but his younger brother and nathan pickens are on dirrerent levels than casey. casey is on the level that most seniors in high school reach as seniors but chris daggett and nathan pickens are on that same level as juniors. chris will take millers 3rd state championship away from him and pickens will walk through the state tournament!!!

comments: To Region 1 observer I still have my money on Wyatt. I think Oak Glen is going to find out how good Cameron's good kids are this weekend. Oak Glen is still going to win the region but No one from OG is as good as Tyler Hughes Kupfer or O'Neil when they wrestle 100 percent except for maybe Noel. I predict that Hughes and Kupfer pin their way through the regionals. Also I predict regional victories from Brown O'Neil Kotson and maybe Casey Hughes. No one is going to touch Hughes or Stewart when they are juniors. If they both stay serious and improve I predict 2 years in a row undefeated for both of them. Casey is going to be in the hunt this year as a freshman and when Stewart gets healthy next year I predict that they may both win it as sophmores. That is my opinion though. I think it will be a good tournament this weekend and please don't be afraid to stop by and say hi if you see me at OG Saturday!

comments: A lot of great wrestlers have already been mentioned as the Dutton and Outstanding Wrestler award candidates but one name that has been omitted from the list is the best wrestler on the best team and that is Casey Daggett. Just ask his little-big brother Chris and Nathan Pickens who the best wrestler on the team is. Casey has beaten the best wrestlers from five states this year and his only lost was to a top rated wrestler from Ohio. Casey is being recruited by division 1-A College teams and will finish High School in the top five in career wins at South. A great achievement in itself. Stevens and Miller may finish with three state championships but the best wrestler this seasaon is Casey Daggett. All the way Case!

From: Youth wrestling coach
comments: I think it is great that Southern Mat Club submitted its youth results and I wish other youth tournaments would do likewise. Also I think the youth weight classes in the Wood County Rec. League should be adopted for the youth state tournament. A class every 3 pounds or so for the little guys is much fairer and less conducive to "weight watching" which is the bane of our sport. Right now the current system at states does NOT allow for a little boy to grow a pound or two over the season without moving up to a seriously different weight class.

comments: I would like to comment on MS's comments about "that miller kid" not to take anything from chris dagget he is a great wrestler but miller is the 2 time defending state champion in 171 and the #1 ranking should go to him until someone takes it from him. I guess we will all see in less than 2 weeks in Huntington.

comments: I really have no clue where MS has been. I mean "who's this Miller kid?" It is Matt Miller of East Fairmont! Remember a two time state champ. That is who Matt Miller is! Chris Daggett is worthy of a #1 ranking but right now he only has one state title...

comments: To Region 1 Observer
no one is going to run from Bellville. He might have claimed wins over O'Neil and Magnone but they weren't so lopsided that these 2 men will run.Wyatt was my practice partner in high school and I know that if he wrestles his "A" match Bellville won't touch him. Now that being said Bellville is still a very good wrestler and he has earned his #1 ranking but remember this without all the penalty points at OVAC O'Neil beats him. Wyatt won't throw a fit at regionals because of a questionable call and lose 3 to 4 points on penalty. Factor that into the mix and reconsider your thought.

February 12, 2001
comments: to Region 1 Observer:
Next time you congratulate someone do it with some class. You truly showed a lack of intelligence. i wouldn't be to sure about anyone fleeing to 215 either. I know Mr. Oneil would like another shot at Mr. Bellville. I bet the 6-3 loss at the OVAC (the one where bellville was awarded five penalty points from the ref) isn't sitting to good. The only win that matters will take place in Huntington.

comments: Can u believe it less than two weeks before States and things are just getting started. South looks poised to win region 1 while 4 solid teams in Region 2 will be clustered at the top and its anyone's guess. South will probably qualify 12 and with those sheer numbers they'll be hard to catch down at Huntington but if East Fairmont can send 10 and make 4 champs it should be close. .... watch out for John Marshall they may have enough fire power to sneak into the top but not if Nitro has anything to say about it. My top 5 for States.
1. Park. South
2. East Fairmont
3. John Marshall
4. Nitro
5. Huntington Hedgesville Fairmont Senior

Other than that they look pretty good however I will be releasing "Super Picks" for region II soon real soon.

I apologize for the slow start of the tournament; my only hope is that the wrestlers had good competition and the parents had a good show. To the concerned parent who thought that the tournament was a failure I am sorry for your unfruitful day and hope that my apology is taken seriously. All I wanted was to keep a great tradition alive. Your compliments about the Barnett family are all true and I do know that they are a first class act because I use to coach their son Aaron. Alan was a great mentor to me and my only hope is that I did not cause shame to their family. Again I apologize for your inconvience and hope next year you will be back. Thanks again to all who came. I am looking forward to seeing you next year.

comments: To-Youth Wrestling Parent
Your comments about the Heartbreaker Tournament this weekend are way off. It was an excellent run tournament after getting the matches started. For your informatin the people running the tournament are the very same people that have worked the Blizzard for years. The only people missing were the Barnetts and Alan Barnette was there for a while and complimented the directors on how well the tournament was going. We had many compliments on the tournament and very few complaints. The trophys changed because we are not the Blizzard and had to start our own tradition this year. If you are coming to a tournmant for the size of the trophy you are missing the point of wrestling altogether. It's what the trophy says not how big it is. Thank you to all the tournament directors and workers for the great job you did this weekend and to the youth wrestling parent I challenge your team to start a tournment and get the number of WV and out-of-state teams that we had this weekend and try to please everyone. You cannot make every parent coach and wrestler happy no matter how hard you try.

I have been around wrestling for years and I know for a fact that my son has been taped on several occasions. I know one parent that probably has more tape of my son than I do. That's something we all deal with. The team that complained also has lots of tape on other wrestlers. They should practice what the preach and quit being babies about the taping issue. Everyone involved with wrestling has a one time or another said to their child watch this kid you wrestle him next.

comments: After attending the 1st Annual Heartbreakers Tourney this weekend just a few comments to share. First this weekend proved how valuable the Barnette family is and missed. You truly knew how to put on a first class Tourney and your direction was sorely missed this year. It takes a class act to put on a smoothly run event and this weekend proved the point. People who only put on events with only monetary gains in mind never get the gist of what it's all about we truly miss the Blizzard.

comments: First all this talk about a Parkersburg South parent video taping the mcas tournament. First thanks for proving what I said earlier this season about South scouting their opponents. Second I don't see anything wrong with this. I would like to see a time when dual meets and tournament finals are televised so everyone can see them. It probably will never happen since this sport doesn't get nearly the respect it deserves. But when you start banning people from video taping for scouting purposes what about those who just want to have a good match on tape. I have some dual meets from my alma mater against teams outside their state just because they are great matches. Again I don't see anything wrong with video taping matches even for scouting purposes and mcas isnt the only place south has been doing this there also was the Winners Choice tournament. I'm also sure that there are other teams doing this and again I think its the intelligent thing to do.

comments: I say Jefferson wins the team title at regionals and wins the 119 125 130 135 152 160 and 215 weight classes. These are my predictions Jefferson #1 Fairmont Sr. #2 Hedgesville #3.

comments: My picks for the Region II regional wrestling tournament this coming weekend.
103: Bonasso(Fairmont Sr.)
112: Ballam(Hedgesville)
119: Drappo(Hedgesville)
125: Griffith (Jefferson) rumor is he is moving down to 119 but I don't see where half his weighins are at 119 if somehow they are then he wins 119 and Reynolds (Jefferson) if back wins 125.
130: Hess(Hedgesville) although Hawes (jefferson) could win it with Hess still nursing an injury.
135:Abshire(Jefferson)
140:Lord(Hedgesville)
145: Moats(hedgesville)
152:Hickman (North Marion)
160: tossup Osuch(Jefferson) or Durst(Martinsburg) I say Osuch.
171:Miller(East Fairmont)
189: Sternthal(East Fairmont)
215: Noechel (East Fairmont)
275: Satterfield (East Fairmont)

My picks may seem pretty obvious by looking at state rankings but I just don't see many chances for upsets. Except as stated 130 160 possibly 112 171 152 Anyway onto teams
1.Fairmont Sr.
2. Jefferson
3. Hedgesville.

Jefferson has been talking about upsetting Fairmont Sr. for the title but I just don't see it even if Griffith has enough weighins for 119 and Reynolds comes back at 125 I just don't see them beating Fairmont Sr. They may want to watch out for Hedgesville sneaking up on them for runnerup. Anyway should be an exciting and competitive tournament.

comments: Like to congratulate the eagles for winning their two duals last night against Petersburg and Frankfort. The eagles looked impressive and hopefully are not getting lethargic by the lack of state level competition that they have faced the past few weeks. Really hope that somehow they have kept up the intensity and are ready this year for regionals. Anyway good luck this coming weekend at regionals the potential is there to go far.

comments: I just got back from the Martinsburg-Jefferson-Berkely Springs tri meet. In matches of note "The One" Billy Barbour wrestled "one" of his best matches ever against number "one" ranked Devin Abshire losing a 6-2 minor decision and "Sir William" had Abshire on his back at the end of 2nd period but didn't score any backs because time ran out. I think everybody needs to consider "Sweet Billy B" "one" of the top wrestlers in the state. In another big match Travis Durst decisioned Rob Osuch 7-4 making "The Human Suplex Machine" the odds on favorite for the regional title. Also congrats to "The Rabid Wolverine" Sean Agoney for winning both his matches by Tech Fall. Finally I regret to say that Brandon Kolb and Joe Jackson won't be finishing the season.

This was the first open tournament for most of the team. Nick Woods place 2nd in 95lbs. Adam Ridler place 2nd in 90 lbs. Nick LeFever place 3rd in 110 lbs. Brandon Digman placed 3rd and Shane Belknap placed 4th in the 116 lb. class. Daniel Cottrill received 4th in the 123 lb class. Glen Tanner brought home 1st in his 155 lb. weight class. Kenny Hacker placed 2nd in the HWT division. These young men have been wonderfully coached during the school season by Stephanie and Bryan Montgomery and in the open season by Randy Woods. Congratulations Knights. Keep up the good work.

comments: is WEBSTER COUNTY going to participate in Region 111 this year?
Editor's note: The best information that I have at this date is that yes, Webster will be in AA/A Region III this year, according to the WVSSAC publicaton "The Interscholastic." Of note, this particular publication does not mention which region Hundred and Hurricane will be in, but it seems a safe bet that Hundred will be AA/A I, and Hurricane will be back in AAA III. Capital is still listed in AAA III, but they did not have a team this year. Webster Co attended the AA/A II tournament last year, but info from Region II for this year does not list them there.

Exact dates of some of the tournaments (Friday and Saturday OR Saturday only) are still up in the air. Reliable sources from Oak Glen tell me that the AA/A Region I tournament will probably be Saturday only, but may go Friday and Saturday. This will be decided at the seeding meeting next Tuesday. Similarly, reliable sources tell me that AA/A III at Clay County may go Friday and Saturday, but they won't know for sure until their seeding meeting Monday when the brackets are drawn. Eight man brackets can be wrestled in one day, but brackets with greater than 8 men cause problems in one-day tournaments. While most regions have greater than 8 teams, by the time all the teams with empty weight classes are accounted for and the brackets are drawn, it may turn out that a region with more than 8 teams might still have no more than 8 on a given bracket and thus be able to wrestle the tournament in one day (and save everyone $$$$ on travel and motel expense).

It is safe to say that AAA I (seven teams) at University will be one day. AAA II (ten teams) at Keyser is scheduled for 2 days as of this time. I have no word on AAA III (ten teams, several forfeits). Reliable sources indicate that AAA IV (ten teams) at Ripley will be two days. AA/A II at Berkeley Springs (8 teams) will be one day, and I don't know about AA/A IV.

comments: I was just wondering why Lou Thomas of PHS did get to wrestle as a freshmen. I know he went to court to get this. If you look at it realisticly there have been several wrestlers who wrestled of either PHS or South that could have won titles as freshmen but they didnt get the chance. Why cant South bring up someone? Heck then ya got schools like Independence who is only 10-12 they would have had some tough freshmen in the past if they were aloud. It just seems strange why the do this now. I personaly think that if a kid is a freshmen in an indivdual sport he should be aloud to compete even if the school is only 10-12. There are some years that these freshmen that are held down cause they are Junior High would have made teh difference in State Team titles.
Editor's note: There is no point getting in to this discussion here since we don't have all the facts.

I'm glad you've been following me but I think you need to learn how to read.....a little more carefully.

I give you my "super word" that I'm not from south actually I'm from the other side of the state. If I was from South why would I say Martinsburg would beat Hedgesville or brag about "The One" Billy Barbour ? who happens to be "one" of the most under rated wrestlers in the state.

comments: CORRECTION: The congratulatory letter to the magnolia wrestler mfor moving up to score the first points against Thomas Naylor this year is not correct. Several points have been scored prior to this match. The information was supplied by the announcer at a recent tri without being verified. Thomas has a few matches this year when opponents have scored escape points and also a penalty point was awarded as well (such as to cause his only loss by DQ). t is to the Magnolia wrestlers credit that he did move up and to score the takedown against Naylor. However the information given about this being the first points was in error. Naylor did in fact win the match by a pin shortly after the takedown was scored. Thanks

I like your predictions with the exception of a couple weight classes. I think you need to watch Noechel THIS year rather that compare to last year. He is in TOP form this year and has had an explosive turn around from last year. I promise you he is on a mission and NO ONE is going to defeat him in February. The others I think you need to look over again is 189 and 275. Look for big things from Sternthal and Satterfield. They have been very impressive lately and I think they will surprise many come Saturday night in Huntington. Other than those I agree with you especially at 171 with Miller complete domination.

With out a doubt Fairmont Senior's Matt Delligatti (Freshman) held his own against South's number one rated McCartney (Senior) last night by giving up one takedown and losing 5-0. Great job Freshman! I can't wait to see what you do at the 2001 states and over the next three years! It's gunna be fun. Pickens is in a league of his own at 152. Miller will defeat Daggett. Look for a Miller v Courntey State Final which will be very entertaining as usual. J Delligatti was pretty impressive over Grogg. Keep up the great work! "Noechel" is already printed on the 215 state championship award. Bank on it!

comments: As I promised my "SuperPredictions" for this years AAA state Champs!
Coming in at 103 Following in his Brothers Footsteps ......SAMMY BONNASO with a win over ...well everybody he is the "super" pick at 3.
112 One of the best technical wrestlers if not the best defending state champion MATT EASTER Grogg a serious condender but I give the "superedge" to the man with state tourney experience
119 I really like the way this guy handles himself at the states. Two years ago he pinned the defending state champion Alex Reed and teched the guy in the finals last year he beat former state champion Chris Johnson and had an incredible turn around win to retain his title. Big Reds MATT STEVENS dominant in every aspect of the game .... will handle Metz in a rematch and defeat another state champion Justin Stanley.
125 I have wrestled this guy on several occasions the first time he was so smooth he seemed to glide from move to move He's been under rated this year but none of the rating are gonna matter at states. CHRIS JOHNSON loses in the final to Alex Reed defeats Samples for the title loses to Stevens and in 2001defeats the "Bruiser" Matt Bosley....
130 This is a tight one to call Gibbs Kennedy Williams who will it be? I give the go ahead to KENNEDY hes a very strong neutral wrestler not real flashy but he gets the job done.
135 Lots of names here hard to pick which "One" it will be: Lane Duncan Muldrew Abshire ...is that all? Seems like I forgot "One" ... and I think everyone else has to. "The One" Billy Barbour should make his presence felt at states .... but the "SuperPick" goes to ABSHIRE dropping to 35 he already holds one win against "Sweet Billy B." After States The headlines back in Martinsburg will read "Abshire Defeats 'The One' in double OT"
140 I can think of four major contenders for the crown at 40 Ripley Mayle Ott Lord. Mayle is HUGE at 140 the guy must be hollow but he not consistant enough... Lord and Ott have both traded matches Lord winning the most recent at Winners Choice. But none of these guys have showed me enough to make them my "super pick" for 140 ROBBIE RIPLEY will make it 3 champs for Nitro as I name him the "Super #1 Contender" going in to states.
145 A loss to Flanagen in the finals 2 years ago a stunning set of losses at states last year but I give Moats the go no triple AAA wrestler has been beating him on points when they stuck him I don't think any can A cautious MOATS will defeat :George Mays and Sean Agoney to win his 1st State Title.
152 This one is a little more simple PICKENS defeats Schindler again with that little Russian Duck Under thing he does. 3rd place match should be a good one to watch pitting McDonald and Hickman.
160 Again another simple call DAGGETT's pure technique defeats the superhuman strength of " Travis Durst Wallace and Taylor.
171 This one is not as close as most people think MILLER will make it number 3 his closest match.....against Daggett or Courtney? It Doesn't really matter. Miller is the "Super Pick" for 71.
189 Very Simple nobody beats THOMAS at 89 at 71 he would be 4th at best but different weight class different story. Thomas uses brains to avoid 3 deadly opponents and is my "Super Pick" for his "Super Brains"
215 I saw "Super Star" Brad Davis put Noechel out without breaking a sweat at last years states thats why McCARTNEY will defeat Wells and Moales to claim his title.
275 Clay was runner-up last year to my man Heath put hes just big he doesnt know how to wrestle. My "Super Pick" Chris Morrison the wrestler from South will take Wellman and Satterfield this is folkstyle-wrestling not Sumo the win goes to the guy who can move.
