    Attention High School Coaches: Check the Coaches Only area of the Forum and vote/comment on the third set of Individual Weight Class Rankings and Second Team Polls, all of which will be released Friday morning, January 27. If you need a username/password to get in this area, send an email to wvmat@outlook.com and we'll set one up for you.

    A couple of notes:
    1. This is a special area of the forum to which only coaches have access. Also, coach usernames/passwords given for voting purposes are given as aaacoach456 or some such, and email attached to that particular coach's name come to me. That is so that coaches may vote anonymously - no identifying data is associated with these usernames. If you have access you have been using for a few years and are OK with it, that is fine.
    2. We are changing the team poll voting this year. Coaches will only be allowed to vote on teams in their own classification. This prevents, for instance, a coach from one of the AAA schools from voting an overall "agree with WVMat" vote when he has never even seen any of the Single A teams in action.

    My apologies for being MIA the past few days. Some of you know that I work at the OVAC tournament, so that (and rankings) pretty much consumed the past 4-5 days. This morning has been consumed with compiling WSAZ seeding information for 29 wrestlers on my team. After I drive from Wheeling to Parkersburg and get settled in at home, I'll tackle everything I've put aside. High school scores will get first priority.

    AA/A Region IV 106 4th place Blake Henry, Wahama out.
    - Mason Bailes, Nicholas County, fr., 17-11 moves to F4. (No 5th-place finisher from Region IV, so Bailes got the nod because he has the best record among the available 5th-place finishers.)

    As of Monday, February 28, no wrestlers have withdrawn from the tournament. Below is a note from Bill Archer regarding 5th place regional finishers:
        I have had several calls about bringing the 5th places and to go by last year this is what I can tell you.
        I only remember one person not making weight and I don't think anyone was taken out for other reasons. So with the 5th placers coming this year odds are 108 to 1 they won't get in tournament.
        Bill

    MEMO FROM NORTH MARION ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL JARED MILETO REGARDING THE BIG 10 TOURNAMENT
    Principals,
    After consulting with a few of the conference officers, the decision has been made to make the Big Ten Wrestling Tournament a one-day event. Speaking with Coach Hays the start time will be pushed to 8 AM for weigh ins and skin checks.
    JV participants will need to be dropped from the tournament due to the one day. Again, we will still utilize the cards to gain entry. If any further action is needed, we will reach out and make everyone aware.

    Thank you,
    Jared Mileto

    Attention High School Coaches: Check the Coaches Only area of the Forum and vote/comment on the first set of Individual Weight Class Rankings as well as the first in-season Team Poll, all of which will be released Thursday morning, January 13. If you need a username/password to get in this area, send an email to wvmat@outlook.com and we'll set one up for you.

    Note that this is a special area of the forum to which only coaches have access. Also, coach usernames/passwords given for voting purposes are given as aaacoach456 or some such, and email attached to that particular coach's name come to me. That is so that coaches may vote anonymously - no identifying data is associated with these usernames. If you have access you have been using for a few years and are OK with it, that is fine.

    Memo from Coach Bill Archer:
    Hey WVMat fans- Let's see if we can help one of our own out. George Keeney cast a very big shadow in West Virginia wrestling for over 50 years.
    We spend a lot talking about High School age kids. George's grandkids do not have anywhere near enough money to support what they need.
    Officials, Coaches, Parents and Fans let's help some kids that need it.
    Bill Archer

    P.S.
    Yes-we have introduction of former state champions at the 75th Annual State Tournament.
    Waiting to see where situation with Covid is.
    I have been told the tournament will not be separate again. Really hard for us to get kids out to work for both tournaments. As of now, food will be allowed to be brought in the back.
    Wvssac paid $21500 for meals for kids, officials and coaches last year.

  • Thursday, April 15, 2021
    Team Polls - AAA / AA / A

    From Bill Archer: Bridgeport will not be participating in the AAA state tournament due to COVID quarantine restrictions. The following weight classes are affected: 120, 138, 145, 160, 170, 182, 195, and 285. All Region I wrestlers will be bumped up where applicable, and the AAA Region I 5th-place finisher in each weight class will now fill the "F1" position in the respective brackets.

    Complete updates will be posted soon, and corrected brackets will be forthcoming. Coaches will be given updated brackets at the state tournament.

    Editor's note: While it's always heartbreaking for a wrestler to have to withdraw from the state tournament for any reason, it's absolutely devastating when an entire team has to withdraw. I am not ashamed to say that I am a praying person. I am sincerely praying for peace and comfort for these young men, their coaches, their families, and their fans. Please take a moment to do the same, and also thank God for His mercy. It could just as well have been YOUR team. Please do what you need to do to remain healthy for the next several days.

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR TICKET DISTRIBUTION:
    Tickets for class AAA may be picked up by a team representative on Sunday April 18 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, and on Monday morning from 8:00-9:00. Teams will distribute the spectator tickets. AA-A tickets are being mailed to the school.

    PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE CHANGES IN DIRECTIONS TO THE MOUNTAIN HEALTH ARENA!
    From Bill Archer:
    Due to construction there is a change in directions to Mountain Health Arena for the State Wrestling Tournament. The 10th street viaduct is closed.

    For those who get off the 5th street exit:, go down what is a big hill until you see 8th Ave. Turn right.

    When you get to 8th Street you will see the closed viaduct. Go two more blocks straight ahead. You will see the 10th Street viaduct on the left. Go under the 10th Street viaduct and stay on 10th Street until you get to 3rd Ave. Turn left and go 3 blocks. The Mountain Health Arena is on the right.

    Attention High School Coaches: Check the Coaches Only area of the Forum and Vote/Comment on the second set (post regional) 2021 Individual Wt Class Rankings* as well as the latest 2021 Team Poll (which should be ready for voting later today). As always, if you need a username/password to get in this area, send an email to wvmat@outlook.com and we'll set one up for you.

    Note that this is a special area of the forum to which only coaches have access. Also, coach usernames/passwords given for voting purposes are given as aaacoach456 or some such, and email attached to that particular coach's name come to me. That is so that coaches may vote anonymously - no identifying data is associated with these usernames. If you have access you have been using for a few years and are OK with it, that is fine.

    * Individual rankings are totally independent of the pill, so for instance, a deserving wrestler can still be ranked #2, even if he is expected to meet the #1-ranked wrestler in the quarterfinals or semifinals.

    From Independence athletic director:
    Due to the restriction on seating capacity placed on us by the county health department and our county board we can only have 25% seating capacity in our gym. This was based on the number of wrestlers entered into the regional tournament this year. To keep this fair for all wrestlers we will allow each athlete two tickets.

    AA/A Region IV seeding meeting will be Friday morning.

    Note from Bill Archer regarding state tournament ticket limitations: The rules we were given for now by the civic center, governor and WVSSAC - capacity is limited to 1180, not counting workers, wrestlers and officials.

    FROM THE WVSSAC REGARDING THE 50% RULE:
    Due to the ongoing pandemic, an already shortened season and after conferring with sports medicine
    and the coaches committee the 50% weigh-in rule has been removed for the 2020-2021 season.

    However, should a wrestler choose to wrestle at a lower weight class for the regional and state tournament
    he/she must have weighed in at the lower weight class at least once during the regular season.

    NEW EDITOR will be taking over soon. Stay tuned...
    (And be patient. This takes time...)

    Question: Is the correct sentence "This takes a while" or is it "This takes awhile?"
    And is it Sentence or sentense?
    And should I use "The correct sentence/sentense..." or "The correct phrase...?"
    (By the way, does that last question mark go between the 2nd and 3rd periods, or after the third period?

    Answer: Just write "This takes time."

    Good luck editing

    Update 3/11/20. It is now 10:38 AM. I just got out of bed and am checking this. I went thru my email last night (about 200 or 300 emails) (about 2:00 or 3:00 AM, before I went to bed), and checked all the email in my inbox, and the junk mail folder, and also the email that comes in the "coaches" and "scores" and "other stuff" folders, and forwarded the emails that concerned "wrestling" to the new editor. It should only take the new editor a few months to sort it all out. Stay tuned...

    ... and what's the difference between a sentense/sentence and a phrase... Attention students: You better know this. It may show up on your SAT test... (Updated 3/11 at 11:08 AM)

    Which High School in West Virginia could do the BEST National Anthem?

    Solo artist, chorus, how about chorus and band, or maybe CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA, maybe rock band, or barbershop quartet? Maybe something like a church choir or show choir?

    Which school would have the BEST? It would of course be a judgement call, and judgement calls are unheard of in activities such as basketball, football, wrestling, baseball, etc. Right?

    Maybe we can work it in somehow with the State Wrestling Tournament.

    The State Championship National Anthem Singing finals could occur in conjunction with the Wrestling State Tournament in Huntington. Whatever the entry is, they would have to appear on the mat and be ready to sing/play in 5 minutes, and leave the mat when finished in 5 minutes.
    See this and this and this, etc. (Note: Old-Timer's Disease may be at work here).

    February 19 National Girls High School Rankings

    National Wrestling Hall of Fame, USA Wrestling and FloWrestling are again partnered to create national rankings for high school girls wrestlers for the 2019-20 season.

    Starting with this ranking, there will be 25 athletes ranked in each of the 14 weight classes, an increase from the 20 athletes ranked in each weight since the national ranking was launched in July of 2017. This was done due to the explosive growth of girls high school wrestling nationwide, as well as the expansion of girls state championships.

    This ranking evaluates all girls enrolled in grades 9-12, and includes athletes from all 50 states. There are 21 states which sponsor official or emerging girls state high school championships, while many other states are also developing their girls high school program.

    The ranking list will indicate what the athlete's ranking was in the January rankings.

    This ranking reflects results from a large number of official and unofficial girls state wrestling championships, held all over the United States, so far this year. Official state tournaments already held include Alaska, Colorado, Georgia and Arizona. Among the unofficial state girls meets held across the nation were Indiana, Iowa, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Nevada, Kentucky, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina and Idaho.

    There is only one new No. 1 ranked wrestler in the February 2020 rankings, Illinois native Korina Blades, who is a sophomore at Wyoming Seminary in Pennsylvania and is ranked in the 127-pound weight class. Blades joins her sister Kennedy Blades, who also attends Wyoming Seminary and is ranked No. 1 nationally at 164 pounds.

    Coming up in the next ranking, expected to be posted by mid-March, will be official state tournaments in Maine, Arkansas, Missouri, Hawaii, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Kansas, California, Oregon, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and New Jersey. Other unofficial state meets to watch for results are Ohio, Oklahoma, Illinois and others.

    After the next ranking, the major off-season girls wrestling competitions will be hosted. Athletes seeking to improve their ranking or break into the national rankings are highly recommended to attend the 2020 USA Wrestling Girls Folkstyle National Championships, set for the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado, March 26-29. This is the largest national girls folkstyle tournament in the nation, featuring outstanding athletes from across the nation. Talented and motivated girl high school wrestlers traditionally enter this event.

    Projected publication dates for the national girls high school rankings are March 11, April 29 and July 1.

    The staffs from these three leading wrestling organizations are working together to strategically publish this ranking throughout the year. The girls high school ranking will appear on the websites of all three organizations, and be promoted through each of their different media platforms.

    The committee expects to publish its first National Girls High School Team Rankings in March, sometime after all of the state tournaments are completed.

    Coaches, parents and athletes are encouraged to provide specific information about athletes and high school teams for the committee to consider. If you have information on specific girls who should be considered for ranking, please send it by email to girlsrankings@usawrestling.org

    Memo from Coach Bill Archer, Long Time State Wrestling Tournament Director (48 years), former Head Coach Huntington High School, WV HS State Champ 127lbs 1966 Huntington High, Inducted WV Chapter NWHOF in 2007:
    The City, County, Convention Bureau and the Archer Family donated over $21,000 to the State Tournament. The State Tournament profit to the the WVSSAC was $35,000. The rules clinic (not much) comes out of this too.
    Wrestling was one of the few tournament events that did not have revenue go down last year.
    Wrestling has had tremendous growth. If you can believe this, our first tournament we used the first mat side scoreboard, (if you can believe it - 2 sided), 4 mats, and we moved the partition that slides out at about 65 per cent of arena.
    We are adjusting the seats this year to back for early rounds and moving them back out for Saturday matches, to pick back up the 600 seats for the finals.
    Huntington High purchased the mats and clocks. Huntington High receives $1000 rent for mats and clocks. When we rented them before we had the clocks it was $ 6400.
    These are the facts. I believe the WVSSAC has made this of public record.
    This close to the WSAZ tournament with a record breaking 1400 wrestlers I am beginning to think am too old for this.
    Bill Archer

    Memo from Robert St Clair regarding bracketing format change WSAZ HS: Again all 64 man losers will be eliminated and double elimination from 32 man on. This is the same format we ran in Middle School already.
    I apologize for the late change, I didn't realize that we would grow this much in one year. We are looking at ideas to get us back to true double elimination in the future.

     Barnesville Invitational still accepting entries. See note from Coach Abbott below:

    The wrestling season is quickly approaching and I would like to invite your team to participate in the 2022 Barnesville Wrestling Invitational held on December 16-17. This is a very competitive early season tournament with many top-ranked (returning state placers and state champions) wrestlers from, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

    I understand that many teams may have their schedule set for the season, however, if you would like to only send your top wrestlers to this event, this would be an excellent opportunity for them to have some early season competition to use as a measuring tool for the remainder of the season. This would also be a chance for you to see if our tournament is something you would be interested in next season.

    Currently, we have 22 teams committed and an estimated 8-10 ranked wrestlers in each weight class (based on weight class predictions for this season). I am contacting the top wrestlers in each weight in all divisions in Ohio and Pennsylvania to invite them into the tournament as well. Each season wrestlers from this tournament will place in their respective state tournaments.

    I have a projected list of returning wrestlers I can share if you are interested. Contact me anytime through this email or via cell (740) 359-7456. Don't miss this great opportunity for your wrestlers.
