Braxton County has a more promising line up returning next season than in previous years.

It is time for BC to enter the WSAZ.

Coach Williams, a constant contributor to the forum, has his son Jordan Williams enjoy an undefeated, state championship year at Braxton. Congratulations to him on a great season! Will get to see him another year!

First time in school history that we had 3 finalist and 4th is the highest finish in school history.

Unfortunately our 195 suffered a high ankle sprain 3 days before states and our 120 suffered a broken/dislocated thumb two days before states or we may have finished higher. To their credit, both of those young men tried to wrestle through their injuries and both won a match.

I can not speak on our schedule. WSAZs is still a long way off. You never know...

Thanks Gator. I am very proud of him and his accomplishments this season. To his credit, he is already back in the weight room looking towards next year. He will also be competing this year at VA Beach and probably TOC.

Do you think your weight classes from 60-HW can maintain their weight for next year? All our underclassman aren't they?

Yes all are underclassmen. I wouldn't dare to try and predict weights for next year.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but couldn't help but think that if we didn't have the extra week for all the other wrestlers to get over their injuries and skin infections, then these two wrestlers would have been perfectly fit to wrestle in the state tournament that they have been using the previous 31/2 months to prepare for. Oh well.

The fans have spoken. Coach Beane needs to pull the trigger and bring the Braxton County wrestlers to the WSAZ. BC just had its 4th highest state finish in school history. The majority of the talent is coming back. Williams will be a senior. The WSAZ has the capacity and should welcome CB &BC (Coach Beane and Braxton County).

No hijack to it. I already thought the same thing, but was keeping it to myself.
