Unless the rules have changed in last couple of years; the answer is yes. However, you can’t be coached by your MS coach, can’t wear school singlet, and can’t miss a school practice or scheduled meet to attend the open event. Happens all the time.

You know it’s getting close to the best season in sports when Bearhugger’s rankings debut. Thanks for all your hard work. Us WV wrestling fans are fortunate to have someone like you.

Any underclassman, not named Wright, that are possible P5 prospects? Anyone WVU should be looking at? The frosh from University? Kehler I think Brothers from WS? Even tho he’s a jr. Macaffee? 126- McAfee- St. Albans; 10th grade 126- Andrick- Point; 9th 145- Felix- University; 10th 152- Jackson- Spr...

The bottom bracket of 132 is insane. 3 former state champs, and 2 others whom have wrestled an accumulated 3 years of state tourneys and placed 3rd all three times. Jones has looked as good or better than anyone. I don't think Hardy has been beat this year. Felix just took down 2 of the 3 former cha...

Cabell Midland
1) Jason Ward (2 x Champ, 2nd, 3rd)
2) Evan Thompson
3) Adam Whitmore
4) Jared Walters

I am not positively sure this is true as it is second hand info; but it did come from a person whom is connected to Parkersburg South Wrestling. Drumroll...I was told that Amos didn’t consider WVU, because WVU never offered him ANYTHING!!! I was flabbergasted. Amos may be the best wrestler to ever c...

Big upset by Zoey Salmons (CM-9th) over Samantha Miller (PS-12th). Great job Zoey.

You obviously spent a lot of time on these rankings. Thanks for giving us something to debate!

It is not as easy as a coach just deciding the team is going out of state. There are other deciding factors. 1. Some schools simply will not allow athletic teams to travel across the state border. This can be because of a county policy or it can be because of restrictions placed by their liability ...

I’ve been to a Wisconsin for a football game. Prettiest campus I’ve ever been too. If you don’t mind the cold, it would be a fantastic place to go to school. Congratulations Braxton. I’m sure most people on here will follow your career closely and be rooting for you regardless of whom you wrestle for.

WV wr...

Anyone know of any HS teams that are planning to attend the WVU team camp? Thanks

Congrats Braxton. He is a GREAT wrestler and from my understanding just as good of a person. While, I don't know him personally; my son seems to like writing him and asking him for various advice regarding wrestling. Braxton, who has never met my son, always takes the time to answer his questions. H...

Outside of the first hour of the first day, I thought it was well ran. Some people complained about the announcer but I think it gives more of a “big time” atmosphere. I also agree that the kids like hearing their name called. Most people I talked to thought it was a well ran tournament, but you are...

Region 4's can be found at:

Anyone know how to find Region 1 or 3?

I’m really looking forward to the 90 lb weight class. Simon, Carpenter, and Woyan are all excellent. Going to be interesting to see who comes out on top. 90 and 110 may be the most loaded weight classes. Hinzman and Sams at 155 is also a match I’m really looking forward to. I also think that these Y...

I could be wrong about Blenny and Point. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

I want to congratulate my son, Jackson Stewart from Barboursville MS, on winning his 100th match on Friday at Blennerhassett. I’m very proud of you. Keep up the hard work!

Anyone heard anything about Dylan Cottrell and Adam Bicak coaching Cabell Midland HS Wrestling? That’s the rumor down here and I heard Cottrell has it on his Instagram. Can anyone confirm?
