Against my better judgment, I'm going to reply to this post, mostly because i'll be posting a text that Bill Archer sent to me. First of all, I don't want to take ANYTHING away from the three coaches and the three young men who won the awards. I genuinely like and admire all three coaches, and the ...

Shockey showed a lot of heart the whole tournament. He struggled greatly with his knee in the semi final. No one would have blamed him if he didn’t wrestle the finals match. I’m sure the CM wrestler appreciated getting to have a finals match instead of receiving a forfeit.

Guard0544 please attempt to call me out while hiding behind a screen name or avatar. It’s obvious you disagree, but to continue to push this subject just shows your maturity. Thanks To those that understood my post and didn’t take offense. This is a forum for ideas and opinions, if you have an opin...

As for hurtful, his opinions and his choices for words are his to type and make. Like I stated I don’t have a dog in the fight, I asked a question, it was answered. Little snarky comments from someone my question offended doesn’t bother me. I gave you the accurate answer. The coaches vote by whatev...

This isn’t complicated. The coaches vote on it based on their own opinion of who was the most outstanding wrestler. Simple as that. If you fellas want a vote go become a coach and you will be able to vote based on whatever stats, metrics or theories you choose to adhere to. Somewhat hurtful Nothing...

Ouch. Tough one.

I believe Josh Humphreys pinned every state tournament opponent over four years in the first period except for one.

If true …That kinda makes one think he should have participated in some nationally recognized tournaments. Powerade, Ironman , Beast ..etc I once saw someone throw him to his back and get a takedown and back points on him. Possibly could have resulted in a fall but a rookie ref made a …questionable...

Andy Thomas was one of the most dominant wrestlers I ever watched. He's gotta be one of the best four timers. The Easter brothers were tough as well One stat that has to be a record is Zach Frazier was only taken down once in his whole high school career Braxton Amos, never taken down ever in his e...

Who took him down?

Giving up zero points in 16 state tournament matches is pretty amazing. I have to think that Cottrell is the only one to have that record? I can’t say for sure if he had any points scored on him because I wasn’t around to watch the matches…but Matt Ashley pinned everyone at his state tournaments wi...

He may not have been the first to do that.

KDunbar you are correct. Regardless of which region you are in the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the same region will be on the same side of the bracket and opposite of their regional champion. Additionally, if there is not a clear cut ranked #2 I believe the intention is to leave that weight clas...

It should be a simple process, just seed the 4 regional winners and if true #1 and #2 are in same region, they will automatically be separated. Just my opinion! The rankings are statewide and kids can shift around the rankings based on who they defeat at certain points in the season and what the op...

Its my understanding that if a wrestler is DQ'ed they have to sit for 3 matches? If this is true, I believe there was a wrestler from St. Alban's that got Dq'ed at Wsaz. His third match would have been against South which was cancelled. How will this affect him going into regionals? I thought the r...

#1 should be enough. Who is at fault if you don't see your regional opponents during the two and a half month season? I can understand injury and weight class change but coaches should make a valid attempt to oppose each other during the season, either at a local tournament, dual, quad, etc. Maybe ...

The state championship will not be determined by the number of individual champions but by the depth of place winners. And possibly by which team is healthy at the time. Many of the top teams still have some good wrestlers out with injuries. I imagine they all will be back for regionals; but will t...

All three tournaments are rigorous, but…the OVAC conference is the largest of its kind in the country. Some 50 member high schools with over 18,000 student athletes. The conference just added three large Ohio schools: Dover, New Philadelphia and Warren. Link to list of OVAC schools: https://en.wiki...

Jordan Allen comes to mind.

You're spot on. Losing the 182lb weight class puts a damper on a lot of potential football players wrestling. Honestly I don't understand why there isn't a weight class in-between 215lb-285lb, if you look in schools today they're more big kids than ever before. Look at high school football rosters ...

Everyone sleeping on Bradyn Lucas should be awake now . He tried to show you at OVACS he was the real deal and now he’s making sure everyone knows Well, after the OVAC he lost 12-3 to a kid in the semi final of the Brooke tournament and then Hurst beat that same kid in the finals of the Brooke tour...

You mean not one of the few people who posted on this thread that likely have their own teams guy picked to win? Come on. He’s ranked 1 for a reason.

He’s ranked #1. How much more credit can he get?

Everyone sleeping on Bradyn Lucas should be awake now . He tried to show you at OVACS he was the real deal and now he’s making sure everyone knows He’s ranked #3 going into the state tournament. I’m not sure why you all feel that’s sleeping on him. Clearly he was identified as being one of the favo...

Jones doesn’t seem to be gone. That’s his semi final opponent.
