The finalists for the 1950 State Tournament were determined in a regional tournament on March 10th at Weston where six
teams participated. After weigh-ins, the wrestlers were placed in a blind draw to determine pairings. The two finalists in each
weight then advanced to the State Tournament in Morgantown two weeks later. Fred P. "Chick" Weihl, principal of Weston
High School and WV Athletic Association Board of Appeals member was the Regional Tournament Director. Whitey
Gwynne, WVU Athletic Trainer and former WVU Mat Coach was the Regional Referee.
