I have seen what you are talking about. I can't speak for others, but I do not promote this idea. I think a big part of it is the wrestlers are more focused on protecting the decision win rather than risk it for a major decision or tech fall win. Part of this stems from a lack of self-confidence an...

I want some honest insight on what you guys think about our states best wrestlers being satisfied with winning a match against a mediocre opponent by a point or two? I'm not gonna throw any names out there because certain team followers would have a stroke and I'm the bad guy. I get tired of seeing ...

Independence has 5-6 JV wrestlers that could/should be ranked top 10 in the state. Honestly I think a minimum of 4 of those JV wrestlers get on the podium. I'm not gonna throw out any names but for those that know, well they know.

Does anyone remember a girl who wrestled in the late 80s through maybe the early to mid 90s by the Name of Kim Trusty? That girl was absolutely tough as nails. I'm pretty sure Jason Trusty was a younger brother or maybe cousin. I'm telling you, she could compete with the best in the state but she ki...

Coal City will be the place to be on the 9th. Mark your calendars

I appreciate that

If any team needs a 59 or 62lb wrestler let me know. We will be up Saturday and might as well make it a 2 day venture if possible. Any reply will be appreciated.

Pine is the real deal. Iron Eagles is doing a fine job at producing high level high school talent. Keep it up coach!

You don't put South and Parkersburg in different regions. that battle in the region is just as important as any other meeting. Regions do need realigned but you can not separate those 2. I do like the 2 region format with 8 from each region going. that will make for good regional tournaments. you w...

Not the anti-America singer, but the high school wrestling team. Wow!!!!! They were within 1 1/2 points of East Fairmont today at the Williamstown Rumble. These two will be fighting it out in region 1 in three weeks. Lusher making the move to 113 broke up the murderers row and stole some team point...

I recently looked this one up for another reason but I will throw it out here. 2010 Mike Cotterell of Logan High School won the 285 pound state title. The individual ranking dates were as follows for Cotterell: 1/6/2010 Unranked (UR) 1/13/2010 UR 1/21/2010 UR 1/27/2010 UR 2/3/2010 UR 2/10/2010 UR 2...

Do you remember who the top 4 seeds were at that class that particular season? 126-152 are generally very competitive weights

3 timers don't count lol. That dude always finds a way

Alotta these kids imo could be over ranked. Certain schools are either over or under or maybe even not ranked at all because of the particular school they represent. I seen south had a few kids ranked top 2,3, or 4 when the first set of rankings were released and now those same kids are ranked close...

Who was the lowest ranked or last Unranked kid to upset the field and win the state tournament? My mind has been spinning but none come to mind in recent years.

Yes, your constant nagging on here about state tournament byes helped recruit kids out of the hallways. That means my nagging makes a difference and brings change. I guess even more nagging is needed. No, it just means that you are pretentious enough to think that your nagging specifically made a d...

maybe I'm wrong again? What's new lol but has Leya been defeated this season at all?

Bearhugger, not sure Leya or the younger Whorton brother has lost to a wv opponent either? I know they lost in the state just not sure they have lost to a West Virginia opponent.

Had Conor Gibson lost a match to a West Virginia opponent?

:D I highly respect the coaching staff at Edinboro, but I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment. Basketball leagues have tournaments that last all day for several days in a row and I don't see basketball's numbers declining. At our former middle school the different sports teams took turns work...

Lol, I love a bunch who know how to push buttons. Some people never learn do they Frank and Hugger lol. I always respect my elders and the floor belongs to you old farts lol

Has anyone ever seen that demonstration where you tell one person a story and by the time it gets to the 20th person in the room it is way off, thats kind of how these threads get on here...lol The thread is how many pins this year..... pins only matter when your losing big and you get the big pin....

Undisputed king of pinning his opponents shoulders to the mat. Guinness book of world records.. Wade Schalles http://wadeschalles.com/about/

Look up the name of Wade Schalles.. Maybe spell check the last name for sure but I think that's right. Greatest pinner in the history of our sport.

Indy should seize the opportunity and sell tickets for 35$ a pop lol. The house on the hill would still sell out in an hour! Gonna be many Patriot fans in the house that night. Can't wait! Don't forget that coach Archer has a way of peaking his kids in February. Coach Archer is imo one of the best ...

Indy should have never been ranked anything but 1 even after the loss heads up in the dual. East had an upset at 138 that was a minimum 9 point swing and a huge pin at 182 on the verge of getting tecd so that's minimum 10 points swing. That was East Fairmonts night and a huge win. The fact is, Indy ...

I for one have seen both of these individuals wrestle and I think that ALlman is on another level. I'm not trying to take anything away from hart because he's great but I'll take allman 8-2 dec you just actually made me lol at midnight to the minute. Allman is a powerful young man but another level...

Let's go ahead and fix 113. A new animal has moved in the 113 Den and he goes by the name of Liam Lusher!
