If you notice that your wrestler’s name or year in school is incorrect in the regional bracket, please have the head table correct it before the tournament is complete.

The more accurate the information is ahead of time, the less we have to change later! Thanks!

Yes, we will do a new set of rankings after the regional tournaments! The state tournament seeding meeting is at noon on February 19.

Since the front page takes a while to refresh depending on how cooperative the server is, I'll post the updated WSAZ seeds here. I received the go-ahead to post them from Robert St. Clair at 8:40 a.m.

I'll be updating the State Duals page today (Tuesday, January 24). I just have some other higher priority responsibilities to handle this morning first.

Some of these rankings are off., I’m not sure how to let the people who do the rankings know. Wrestler are not ranked who have beat ranked wrestlers several times already this year. Hi! We're happy to receive input regarding head to head wins and losses; however, they must come in the form of offic...

Fixed the link. They were pointing to last week. AARRRRGGHHHH!

Also fixed AAA 106.

The latest rankings are up, even though the front page hasn't refreshed to show today's "What's New" announcement.

Congratulations to Kase Stewart of Wahama, who registered his 100th win at the Grafton Duals!

If a middle school doesn't have wrestling how do we get a independent wrestling into the tournament? I heard from both Bill Archer and Robert St. Clair regarding this question, and here is the answer: All wrestlers must represent their team/school and be on the eligibility sheet per WVSSAC rules. W...

Update: Issues have been resolved! After updating the forms submission pages with the new weights, it appears to NOT be working as designed. (Bear with me as this is the first time I've had to do this since taking over for Doc.) To submit scores, please send them in an email to wvmat@outlook.com. Y...

From Bill Archer: Ron Mauck died on Wednesday. Ron spent recent years working with older people. He would always tell me stories of the people he was working with at every Hall of Fame dinner. Ron was THE MAN in running wrestling tournaments. We still use his time schedule for the state tournament t...

I am! Thank you! You are a man of your word.

And by the way, the new grill looks great!

Normally I don't have time to read this forum (unless someone asks me to monitor or remove something), and rarely do I post unless I'm posting in the coaches' forum or answering a question. I simply don't have the time. In this case I'll make an exception. The future dates through 2026 have been lis...

106

Ha! I'm a little slow. I just noticed the 8,675,309. Classic song! It was popular when I was in college. (Yeah, a long time ago.)

And I promise not to let the Dove chocolate melt in my jacket pocket this time. LOL.

Sorry, Mike - just now saw this. He has 29 pins on the year.

For the record-as I have stated many times, wrestling in West Virginia did not begin when you became interested. The first time I was on the rules committee 1973, if they have the notes from the meeting they would tell u that I brought up seeding the state tournament (1973). It makes no sense to me ...

Oh yes, I plan to put them up there. I just hadn't had a chance to. I promise you they'll be up, probably tomorrow.

AAA Region IV brackets are posted now, and yes, I made sure the link is working.

Sorry about that. I fixed them.

AAA Region IV is posted now too.

Sorry about that! I fell asleep and woke up to several texts letting me know that the brackets were not loading. (I had uploaded them to the wrong directory and forgot to check the link.)

Please refresh your browser on your desktop or phone, wherever you're trying to load it.

This is such devastating news. Gator lived for wrestling and for his family, especially Cayden. Gator may have gotten into some spirited debates with adults here on the forum, but when it came to kids ALL OVER the state, he loved those kids like they were his grandkids, and he was always so full of ...

Coaches, A decision has been made to move the Single A to one day, teams have expressed concern about traveling Friday due to the ice. The decision has been made to move to Saturday. Weigh Ins will be at 7am, if your team is going to be late just call me 304-299-0450; we will wait. Wrestling will st...

Mike, you’ll notice that the last names are listed for the Preston wrestlers. I can’t speak for Coach Reed personally, but I’m sure he was just going by what was given to his stats person. You wouldn’t believe the number of score books that list a wrestler’s first name instead of last. Trust me, the...

Hi! Could Coach Shane Cook or someone from Sissonville Middle school please send me an email at wvmat@outlook.com to let me know you saw this forum post? I have some questions about the middle school scores that you submitted early this morning (Sunday, January 9).

Thanks!
