Tyler Consolidated High School

Silver Knights -- Wrestling


Tyler Consolidated came into existence in 1993-94, formed from Sistersville High and Tyler County. Coach Richie began teaching at Sistersville in 1985 and began a wrestling program at that time. Coach Richie retired in 2009 and left the program behind to a Tyler Consolidated Alumni wrestler Chad Snider. Coach Snider Wrestled for Tyler Consolidated and then wrestled for West Liberty State College before becoming the coach for 2009-2010 season. After the 2017-2018 season, Coach Snider would pursue a change in careers and Chad Deaton would then head up the program. Coach Deaton served as the head coach for the next two seasons and then handed the program to Coach Paden Morris, who was a standout wrestler for John Marshall High School. Paden became the Principal of Tyler Consolidated in the winter of 2022.

The program is now in the direction of Eric McKeever who has 24 years under his belt and has coached at the Middle School and High School level and also the founder of the Triple Threat Youth Wrestling Club in 2010 along with his father Wayne McKeever and brother Lance McKeever. Coach McKeever is a Tyler Consolidated Alumni and was an assistant coach at Tyler Consolidated from 1999 until 2009 under Coach Richie before he departed to Assist and then become the Head Coach at Magnolia High School leading them to a State Runner-up finish in 2017. During the existence of Tyler Consolidated's wrestling program they have had twenty-five state place winners, including two state champions.

Also, in its inaugural season of having a Girls Wrestling Team at Tyler Consolidated, Eliana Winfrey became the 1st female State Champ and became the 1st ever to compete at Fargo Nationals representing Team WV.
