We are trying, honest. I have deleted countless posts and blocked many IP addresses. Please continue to report stuff. Not sure how much Doc can be on here with his health issues, Gator is on vacation, and ... I am leaving for my beach house next week for the fall season - plus my wife had a bad fall...

Doc's family has set up a Facebook group called "How's Doc Doing?" to provide accurate updates to those who are seeking news on his progress. His son, Nathan, just changed this group to public. His wife, MaryKay, said "rumors were flying like crazy" so they decided that was a goo...

Re: Updates for states 2
That is what I meant about the continuity of the staff, and you are spot on. Next season will bring another change from what was posted on this forum today. I hope some of the young coaches will step up and be in it for more than a year or two.

Re: Updates for states 2
I did not see his comments as reflecting on Milton's program in a negative way, at least I hope not. I think he was saying that there does not seem to be the continuity of coaching staffs at Cabell Midland and the kids do not come out or stay out. I was in a position to know if any rampant recruitin...

I have stayed mute on this topic because I have no dog in the fight, nor skin in the game ... however to say that South's large coaching staff is not relevant because the head coach makes all the tough decisions is just not in line with my observations.

A few points ... 1. Doc has a great deal of time, energy and his own money invested in WV Mat 2. In today's litigious society and crazy court rulings, he must protect ( not coaches or programs as some think) but his website and his own skin ( no pun intended.) 3. You really would not believe some of...

Enormous # of matches on records
Checking out the AAA brackets and seeing kids with over 65 matches on their record. They could not have gotten a lot at regionals because the brackets were not that large (Bearhugger made sure I knew that!

Instead of reducing to two regions ... Let's work together to attract more wrestlers to this great sport and fill four regions with full brackets.

Re: AAA Region 4 matchups and seeds.
Here's an example Hinzman, Holley and Lanham all in the same class ranked 1-2-3. Think about the poor kid who draws the 3rd place guy from this region and thinks "Well, the kid was third in his region ... how good can he be?" LOL.

Re: Region IV ranked wrestlers
But single elimination with follow the leader at least partially solves that. If the guy who beats you wins you are still in, if he loses you are out. So if you get an unlucky computer draw against a monster and he wins his next match you get another match. We did this at WSAZ for a number of years.

Re: Region IV ranked wrestlers
I take an opposite view ... Let everyone wrestle at State. If we can do the WSAZ Invitational with way more than twice as many wrestlers (counting middle school as well) in two days with 64 man brackets and even pigtails off of those) then ... Surely we could do the state in three days. Just do away...

Maybe it should have been -9 but the ref said -7 and at that point I just wanted to get my kids out of there safely and was praying none of our parents and their parents got into it so I was not going to argue the point. Maybe the ref had not awarded them all when he stopped the match, I don't know....

It can happen that a team ends up in negative numbers. At a tournament Ky when I was coaching middle school a 20+ years ago, (15 weight classes in Ohio middle school then) we beat a team 90 to -7! It was an Ohio school that will remain unnamed. We won the first six by fall. (we usually had good litt...
