Re: Is this for real???

So here’s the thing if wvssac awards him the championship they just opened the door for instant replay even though rules state the officials can’t look at video. Right or wrong when the match was over he did not win. Now anytime a wrestler can show video of a missed or bad call and can dispute the ...

Re: Parkersburg’s Jared Haught (VT) in NCAA finals

Noah Adams stands a good shot at getting the job done. The 3rd place finisher beat Noah 3-2 this year and the call was iffy. Noah stands a good shot to get the job done.

Re: 1st 2 time AAA Most Outstanding Wrestler

What is the record for winning states at different high schools. Has anyone ever done it at 4 different schools. Who cares if he attended 30 different high schools. It’s about the kids and as adults we should all understand that it’s about the kids. Josh is one of the best and I wish him best of lu...

Re: Alex Hart

It really comes down to integrity. If you walk into a mom and pops shop and pay the lady for 5$ worth of merchandise with a 20$ bill and she gives you 95$ dollars in change, do you keep the 95$ or do you walk back in the store and say mam I paid you with a 20$ so you only owe me 15$?

Re: Individual Rankings

I would do rankings the Monday after the state tournament. Rankings are an opinion and overrated. Let the young men decide who is who on the podium. I promise you the results will outweigh the rankings. Zero controversy, zero opinions! These young men will rank themselves in Huntington!

Re: Favorite Venue to watch wrestling in WV?

Personally, my favorite venue was the old Huntington field house. I also like the old WSAZ format better than the new. They would turn all the lights off and spotlight the finals matches. You had 2 mats, one for high school and one for middle/junior high. I can still remember the smell of the place....
