Re: WVYWA Championships Agenda
Shouldn't the regional champ and 4th place from that region be on the same half of the bracket while 2nd & 3rd place from that region are on the opposite half? All of the brackets I have looked at have the regional champ and 3rd place on one half while 2nd & 4th are on the other half. How o...

Re: Interesting Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals matches?
170 Quarterfinals- Cameron Pine, Washington vs. Kaleb Simpkins Wheeling Park If Simpkins beats Berisford,I think they meet in the finals. That was a big loss for him in Region 1. This bracket is the worst in the tournament. There will be someone going home that would place if seeded. I don't think ...

Re: Last Man Standing aka Last Chance Qualifier
I am of the mindset that you have a wrestle off, and the winner is the starter. No exceptions. Every program i have been around has done things this way. I think playing favorites harms the sport. I will agree that the regional alignment is bad and will negatively impact competition at the state to...

Frank is buying everyone dinner. Be there or be square.

Re: 4 Byes in AAA
What you are talking about is organizing. That is smart. Perhaps some kind of town hall style meeting would be in order. Maybe during one of the many breaks at the state tournament since so many people would be there. I'm sure the hotel next to Big Sandy or even Big Sandy itself could arrange a roo...

Re: State Tournament Wrestling Pill
I believe the kids should be seeded. They work to hard all yr to let a blind drawn number decide who wrestles who instead of their accomplishments . We should have a seeding. It can be done either by coaches or a unattached group. Im not sure how to get it changed but if a petition would work lets ...

The pill operates on the “assumption” that for the most part all regions are equally talented. We all know this is not true.

Brooke Very tough indeed. Lacking WV schools though. There were 5 WV schools in attendance, 8 Ohio schools and, 5 PA schools.

Re: AAA region comparison
29 AAA teams, 68 AA/A teams. And I will wager that 30+ of those AA/A teams put no more than 8 wrestlers on the mat. Just looking at the raw numbers of how many schools are in AAA vs AA/A is deceptive. Look at the top of the AA list. Lincoln is the largest and has 7 or 8 wrestlers. RCB is the 7th la...

This is also the same issue that Region 1 had for the better part of 30 years or more. This is nothing new.

Re: 2 things out of whack
The answer is simple. Do away with the WVSSAC. Schools have to pay to be members of the SSAC. Each sport should create it's own governing board with the coaches as the directors. Now you have sport specific individuals governing each sport. Just walk away from the SSAC, membership is voluntary.
