Really aaacoach18?

Look at the numbers, you must have benefited from this somehow.

I don't think it is good for the sport! If we as fans do not speak up to the decision makers about this.

I noticed several wrestlers with losing records will be at State tourney and several others with winning records will not be there. I know records and rankings do not mean everything but this regional alignment needs addressed for the future of this great sport! I will be calling SSAC; ADs and princ...

I don't care what teams you support this region is travesty to see so many quality wrestlers not make it to states. This is sad but some excellent matches to watch.

Region 4 weight classes 113;138; 145 and 152 all I can say is wow and Shame this region alignment will have several good ones not make it to states

Not Accurate polls! Do more Homework

HERE IS A SHOCKER, " LIFE ISN'T FAIR." Quit bitching and whining to get the so called system fair, that is not how life works. Get over yourselves and let the KIDS wrestle everything is going to be ALRIGHT! You read these comments and it falls right into give everybody a trophy mentality....

Good idea!

Gator wrote:4 are ranked #1 outside of region 4. Just to look at the toughest weight classes, 138, 152 and 160 stand out to me as being a dogfight.

Agree with Gator!

Need to look at it objectively for the long term. Not just this season. Ask yourself can it be better for the sport and the student athlete. The state tourney should be a reward for the most talented wrestlers! Sure there will always be a wrestler on the bubble of the tourney but what an improvement...

If we had two regionals it would be something like 164 wrestlers in one region and 160 in the other. Good stats you provided. Probably not many byes either, some schools would qualify more of their team too for team scoring at the states and the better chance of getting the top 16 wrestlers at the s...

For consistenty in the future years it should be 2 Regionals and top 8 go! Year in Year out it would be the way go! Lots of luck to all the wrestlers! I don't necessarily disagree with you. I'm all for simplification. I am only referencing what is going on right now. Thanks for the reply this is ju...

I line the idea for the wrestlers, more the better for the long term of the sport!

Sadly revenue probably does matter but not sure about how things may balance out if schools do not spend their money for the costs of the regionals it may be a good sell for ADs and the SSAC to look at.

Well if you look at the total number of wrestlers per region it is 81 compared to 88. They only differ by 7 kids total for 14 weight classes and there will be 4 representatives from each weight class from each region. We will have to see what Region I and III look like before we get too involved wi...

If there was just two regionals in the state (North-South) and the top 8 go onto State that would possibly eliminate so many byes for certain schools!

For now it's hard not to give the bye to the number one seed!

CAN THERE NOT BE A RULE CHANGE ON FORFEITS? MAYBE A MAX OF THREE FORFEITS A DUAL? OR CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF POINTS FOR FORFEITS IF THERE IS MORE THAN THREE FOR A TEAM? I THINK A LOT OF TEAMS FACE SHORTAGES DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS (injuries, lack of participants, flu season etc..) BUT IT MAY BE GOOD FOR...

HOW ABOUT POSTING THE RESULTS?
CANNOT GET THEM ON LINE WITH THE GAZZETTE.

Several top ten match ups with this dual; any chance of posting the individual match results?
Two fine programs also!

Yes he is! SV has some good ones

Thanks sounds like a close dual, be nice to see the individual results too.

I would like to see a few more weight classes, and maybe look at the scoring on forfeits differently.
lets grow the sport!

Any scores or results of the dual between Huntington vs University?

Did they have a Dual match?

Is there a list of teams participating in this tourney?

Several and I mean several good wrestlers will not make it to states from Region 4 and this is a shame! (Also region 1 in AA) Sure would be nice to see two regional's and the top eight go on to the state, sure would make State tourney have a better chance to have the better 16 wrestlers in each brac...

WOW!

South looks solid when they have their lineup, looks like Indy was down a couple starters too.

Whats happened to Huntington's lineup looks like several forfeits

What time are the matches Hunt vs Indy and South vs Indy?

How about Frank or Gator? Until at least bearhugger moves North

Any one knows of teams that have wrestlers injured and out for the season?

Anyone know who may be changing weight classes as Regions approach?

Is this a dual or are there any other teams for Tri or quad?Does both teams have their full line up?
