How is football able to happen and go on? I am sure the linemen still ram into each other on every play. You cannot tackle anybody from 6 feet away. I am not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with football being an outdoor sport and wrestling being indoors. At least that what it sounded like when...

I agree with Bearhugger. I think that some of the conference tournaments would indeed benefit by combining somehow. Looking at the scores, some conference tournaments only have 2-3 wrestlers in the weight class. Do coaches really want to waste weigh-ins when your athletes are not getting anything ou...

This is when the state championship proposal are up for renewal. Got this straight from the wvssac site: Sport ---------------------Location------------------Next Open Date Baseball -----------------Charleston ------------------2021 Basketball ---------------Charleston ------------------2020 Cheerle...

looks like another good tournament like always. like dunbar said point has a good chance to put 8 in the finals with 12 placing. looking at seeds and possible match ups i could see south with 6 kids at a shot at the finals. 4 kids with a good chance to place while the other 4 could score some valua...

I see on the front page that the high school seeds and list of other wrestlers are posted. Does anyone know where the middle school list is?? I know they had a seeding meeting for the middle school, so there has got to be some coach out there willing to share !!!

Usually the brackets for WSAZ aren't posted (inside the arena) or completed until after weigh-ins. This allows for scratches and rearranging the seeds if someone seeded is out due to injury, not making weight, etc. At least this is what they have done in the past.

That was last weekend. They are talking about tournaments occurring this weekend, before WSAZ.

Middle school results have been very slim this year. After looking at the teams involved, I hope someone post scores. Several quality teams attended.

I don’t see the big deal in posting scores. I always look when they are posted but I’d presume posting scores to be public isn’t a mandatory rule of the forum. Scores are for parents to scout the opposition and imo isn’t a necessity. Doc has a life but each and every coach does as well. Doc should ...

As I scroll through wvmat, it amazes me the lack of middle schools wrestling results. Sure, go to that page and you will see a lot of results. However, most of them are from the Clash that was held this past weekend. I am talking about earlier tournaments at the beginning of the season, like the Cha...

I'm sure Coach Smith will have them up within the next day or two. If you have never been to this tournament, it is a huge tournament that is run very smoothly. However, I can not imagine the time and effort Coach Smith puts into it every year. Results are always posted the day after to a couple day...

From my understanding, the wsaz intends to fill each bracket entirely. I've also been told that each wrestler is required to be affiliated with a school program. Yet i've seen the past wrestlers listed as "independent". Is there anyway for private club wrestlers to enter, not school affil...

The school is technically in Sutton. It is off the Flatwoods exit but the Walmart and other places off the exit has the address as Sutton. Just like Sissonville High School. The school's address is Charleston, WV .. but are they really in Charleston ????

Congrats young man!

The WSAZ is the greatest tournament in West Virginia. It is the "wrestling land of opportunity". The tournament director/staff force begin with a 64 man bracket. They open the doors for all to come until 64 men and women are tucked away into a bracket spot. In my heart of hearts, I truly ...

Brackets are not drawn until after weigh-ins. This is in case a seeded wrestler doesn't make weight or can not wrestle due to something else. Everyone in the bracket that is not seeded gets random draw by the computer. So it all depends on how you fall if are not seeded. If a seeded wrestler doesn't...

Not going to mention the school or the wrestlers name, but I was talking with a coach over the weekend from Region 3 in AAA. He has a wrestler that has won a total of 3 matches over the last three years (not counting forfeits) but is also a two time State Tournament Qualifier. This just didn't set w...

I just found it on the scores page. 12-13-18. Indy 46 Hoover 35 ..... don't know how long it has been up but its there now.

I agree, Point does an AMAZING job running tournaments and posting their scores. They aren't the only school as numerous others are just as efficient. However, it would be nice to see some of the lineups for these match ups. Especially Cabell Midland. Just wondering if they were missing anyone Satur...

This is usually a very competitive well ran tournament. I don't know why they don't post the results. It is very rare to see results on WVMAT from this tournament. It is a bracketed tournament so all it would take it a couple clicks on the software to upload results and send them in.

I do not know about certain teams trying to hide their scores for whatever reason, but I do know that there is usually a lot of good middle school competition early in the season and the folks running the tournaments fail to submit the scores. Then when "polls" come out, you have people co...

Date?

I saw somewhere they passed a rule stating that teams could move up a classification in individual sports. Wonder if any of the AA/A teams that have 17-18 teams per region are considering jump up to AAA where there is only 7??? Yea, I know that they would have to compete with South, Huntington, and ...

According to the WV Gazette today, all the county superintendents are meeting with Dr. Payne, head of the WV State BOE, Monday morning to discuss the teacher walkout. I'm sure after this meeting there will be news about the athletic events that are suppose to take place this week. I know that Kanawh...

I don't know if the tournament is canceled but I do know that Kanawha County Schools just canceled all their extra curricular activities for this evening. So any school that was attending from Kanawha County will no longer be able to attend.

Just learned that Kanawha County Schools has canceled all after school activities and practices. Don't know if this will affect schools attending tournaments this weekend????

Anyone know the results for this??

Team scores and Individual results are posted on the score page

The schools may be warm, but its getting everyone to and from school thats the problem. Raleigh county for example, is a pretty large county geographically. Although some students get driven to school, most ride busses. Some students get on their busses as early as 6:15 AM. Additionally there are l...

Kanawha County has been in school all week. I think they are the only county that hasn't closed one day this week.
