comments: First of all I assume Werhle is wrestling 215 just because I think he has had trouble in the past making 189 and he is even bigger now. Also I believe South has a great team and that they will definetly be in the hunt as well as PHS. But in all seriousness if teams like Midland get everyone down to weight then they will be a threat as well. In the comments about the lineup for Midland none of those are correct except that Coffey is wrestling 215 for the duel with South and then dropping to 189. I think?

comments: I'd like to say good luck to the Calhoun County Wrestling Squad at the takedown tourney Saturday! Calhoun should have a great season with many tough contenders such as Travis McCartney Little Ramsey Buddha and Chris Morris racking up some points. Look for CCHS to have a top three finish this year at states.

November 20 1999
comments: In response to the comment asking about Stevens and George they will wrestle whatever weight classes they want these 2 boys are talented enough to wrestle any weight and win the state. PHS is looking good this year so watch out SOUTH!!!!!! Its time for the state title to come back to the north side where it has been so many times before in fact many more times than any other school in the state.

From: WVU Open
comments: I noticed after reviewing the results of the WVU open that Troy Letters (wrestling unattached) placed 4th. Thing is this is a college tournament and Troy is a JR in high school from Shaler PA. Shaler wrestles in the Brooke Tournament. If Matt Miller from EF wrestles 160 and Letters also stays at 160 at Brooke they could meet up. My prediction would be Letters by tech fall.

November 18 1999
comments: Ya i think a program would be good at Marshall it would give WV wrestlers another in-state school they can go to. With a fresh program alot of WV kids woudl have a good chance to particapate. Unlike WVU witch doesnt have many instate kids on the team for very long.

Jason is being red-shirted this year but is wrestling at 165lb weight class. He went 3-2 at the WVU Open beating the 4th place finisher from Maryland but losing in overtime in the cons. Will be wrestling next in the Penn. St. Open the first week in Dec. He is rooming with Zack Allen a H.S. All American 133lber from Kansas. WVU wrestling team lost one of their wrestlers in a traffic accident last Fri. morning. Eric Chambers freshman from Pa. was killed after hitting a deer on his way home. Please remember his family and freinds in your prayers. The WVU Wrestling team page is www.wvu.edu/~sports/wrestlin/

comments: Why would Marshall not have a Wrestling team? I know they cut it out b/c of tittle IX to make room for all the girls sports(basiclly)but w/ all the money the f-ball team brings in you'd think they could have a team. Plus there is a new pres. like lemaster said.

comments: I'd love to see a section of the site dedicated to Title IX. It has definitly been a killer of many wrestling programs... including the one at the college I attend (the program ended like the year after Title IX I believe). Title IX is incredibly misunderstood though. The problem is some colleges tend to use Title IX as an excuse and not in the way it was actually intended. For example my school is 75% male yet it got rid of a lot of male sports until there were just as many male as female (now we only have 4 sports per gender because there aren't enough women at our school to have more - a lot of female athletes already do 2 sports). This is a total misuse of Title IX. My school demands that there be a female sport for every male sport and sites Title IX as the reasoning but truthfully to comply to Title IX we only need for the sports to be proportional to the ratio of the student body so truthfully we're not in compliance with Title IX because males get discriminated upon - they make up 75% of the student body - they should have 75% of the athletics. So my school does not have a football wrestling or rugby team even though there is more than enough interest. Anyway that's my view on the subject. I think its a good law... if it was used properly... unfortunatly - it wasn't isn't and probably never will be.

email: comments: I have it from a reliable source that J. Wade Gilley the former Prez of Marshall said there would never be a team at Marshall as long as he was there. Well he's gone! Perhaps the new administration will be more receptive. There are some goo programs in the MAC and it would be a good fit and a low revenue outlay. Certainly Title IX has crippled wrestling programs through out the nation. It is not the law itself it's the way it is being interpreted. Instead of adding women's sports they are cutting mens. AND ... they are basing it on the number of participants. The football team has more members that all the women's teams combined. It was reported in the MU student newspaper that Dr. Gilley wanted to add Crew. Can you imagine rowing down the scenic Ohio past the carp floating belly up old tires and empty bottles. How idyllic! How stupid!!! When Marshall hires a new prez I think we as a wrestling community need to come together and forget all the AAA vs AA hard feelings, the Parkersburg is better than the rest of the world attitude, HHS vs Midland rivalry etc and BOMBARD the new prez with letters and e-mails in support of adding the program. The old saying is the sqeaky wheel gets the grease! Let's do some squeaking. Also the editor in chief of the Herald Dispatch was a wrestler and would probably publish letters to the editor. Let's get off our duffs and see what happens!

November 17 1999
comments: Could someone briefly explain what title 9 is all about for me..Thanx

Editor's note: There has been a flurry of interest in the TITLE IX issue, and I have taken a stab at putting up a TITLE IX information page (not that there aren't enough TITLE IX pages on the Internet already!!). I plead guilty to the charge that this page is wordy and perhaps obtuse. Unfortuantely, I don't think this issue can be properly addressed with a few snap pronouncements and catch phrases.

I tend to agree with our friend Talon that it is a good law .... if it were used properly. I also agree with Talon that many colleges have probably used it as an excuse to eliminate a non-revenue sport. I also can see that, regardless of the steps in the middle of the process, TITLE IX became law and wrestling programs started to disappear.

This is a complicated issue, and I am of the opinion that we in the wrestling community should not make the mistake of thinking that there are simple cures to this or any other issue. Does anybody really think that if TITLE IX were to disappear tomorrow that Alderson-Broaddus, Bethany College, Concord College, Fairmont State, Glenville State, Marshall, West Virginia State, West Virginia Tech, and Wheeling Jesuit College would suddenly reinstate their wrestling programs?

The last thing I want to do is give the appearance of being against female athletics. When I was in high school there were NO female sports of any kind. That situation would be unthinkable today, and we have TITLE IX to thank for it. But, like any good medicine, there may have been some unintentioned side effects accompanying this remedy.

There is a national petition drive underway regarding TITLE IX. I must confess I have a few reservations about the wording of this initiative, but others may not. Many wrestling fans may wish to get involved in this petition drive - others may choose not to take this particular tactic for perfectly good reasons.

At any rate, I have enlightened myself having done the page, and I hope others will be enlightened as well...

comments: It's good to see people reading and responding to the Forum. Thanks to Jim LeMaster for the insight into the Wvssac. However some of my statements could have been misleadimg if wrestling is only considered a seasonal sport. This is understandable from the scholastic point of view with a starting and completion date. Also the rules of athlete and county employed coaches contact outside of the season are covered by the SSAC. It is my belief that wrestling and the related strength and endurance training is a year-round commitment with the major gains made in the non-competitive parts of the year. This is the time we see the secondary grade athletes and kids from other clubs in our room. For many reasons youth clubs shut down after Jr. States and jr.high and high school seasons end. This is the time of year that travel teams turn up the pace and compete on the national level at AAU USA Eastern Nationals events. This is also the time that dedicated wrestlers continue their season beyond what is offered by their schools. Most of the previously mentioned coaches only offer off- season training. Wood Co. is succcessful because their travel clubs work nearly year-round and the majority of the Jr and high school wrestlers have benefited from that work sometime during their careers. We have enjoyed some strenuous workouts from these boys "cramming" before the season. Now that the younger wrestlers have been exposed to an intense work enviroment they will continue to work and learn at an accelerated pace." Success breeds success "is evident in this kind of training situation. In my opinion Wood Co. athletes would benifit from competng against other counties and even states (given the physical location next to Ohio). How many times can Joe beat Tommy without the outcome becoming predictable? Include Bob and John and everyone has a chance.

comments: Regarding Jr High/Middle School eligibility for open tournaments:
I contacted the WVSSAC today and a junior high or middle school wrestler may wrestle in youth tournaments provided that he gets permission from the schools principal and he cannot miss a school practice or wrestling meet to attend such a meet. This ruling also applies to swimming, cheerleading, golf, cross country, tennis, track, wrestling, and gymnastics. Go to the WVSSAC web site and click on eligibility and click on non school participation to read about this ruling.

November 12 1999
From: Jim LeMaster
comments: In regards to Chuck Easter's post of NOv. 5th. I couldn't agree more however a word of caution. According to the guidelines given to scholastic coaches by the WVSSAC it is illegal for scholastic wrestlers to participate in any events not sanctioned by WVSSAC or accept any awards other than those awarded at sanctioned events during the parameters of the high school season. It is even illegal to practice with a club team during the season. Several years ago one of my middle school wrestlers wrestled in a Holiday Tournament at Captial High school thinking if it was at the school it was sanctioned. Unfortunately it was not. I voluntarily self reported this to the WVSSAC and was able to maintain his eligibilty. It was also reported by a rival coach and I was just lucky that my call got there first! But ... that is an isolated case. Remember the poor softball player from Cabell Midland that was decalred ineligible because she played in a pickup game at a church picnic! that had sides changing players after each inning and where score was not even kept. It essentially ruined her high school season and caused a great deal of grief. Club coaches Be Careful! There are people out there who WILL report you. Unless your name is JR House they will make you abide by the rules. I think it is ridiculous that wrestlers can't compete when their school is idle during the time frame of the season but that's the way the rule reads! Chuck if you want more details than I can post on an open forum drop me an e-mail.

comments: I just checked out East Fairmont's updated website and am very impressed with the Bees' upgraded schedule. The Bees are wrestling in the Brooke Tournament this year along with the Nitro Tournament and wrestle in a quad with Ritchie Co and the Parkersburg Big Reds. In wrestling in order to be the best you have to wrestle the best and East Fairmont has definitely begun to do that. Look for East Fairmont to improve even more this year and for Marion County wrestling to continue to be among the best in the state!

comments: I wish that everyone would put the AAA/AA issue to rest I think that it has been thrashed around enough. Also Cabell Midland has several sophmores that did really well last year returning. Roman Hodges Jason Burger Jarred Diamond Ryan Frazier and Mark Childers should help out the team a lot this year.Good luck Knights.

comments: I would just like to say that I think that Ripleys team will be tough this year. They have several wrestlers returning in the lower weight who have a great amount of experience. I know that Coach Steve "tank" Sayre will have them ready for a top 5 finish at states this year. Coach Sayre is the man.
