Chase Miller from Glenvar beat Dawson Martin from Radford last night 7 to 2. It was a pretty good match. There are rumors floating around that Martin may move up to 215 for Regionals.

Thanks for the update on Pittman! And I like Bailey from Radford, curious to see what happens with their top 3 weights if Martin goes up to 215 since Davis and Bailey both did not wrestle last night.
In regards to 113, last years state tournament was almost a year ago. I am not using last years finishes as ranking measures as a lot can change in a year for kids. Vu has had a decent year but nothing that stands out and from what I have seen in person of both on NFHS, I personally like Miller than Vu right now. I am from the region 2B area but I have no ties to Strasburg, I can ensure you of that. Hence why I did not question the Dean "injury" as he was just sick and has battling some illnesses this season.
Team Predictions 1. Strasburg 2. Poquoson 3. Central (Wise) 4. Union 5. Radford
At the end of the day, nothing I say matters because these kids will settle this on the mat in less three weeks and I can't wait.
As you've heard before, there is no better high school state tournament atmosphere than the state wrestling championships!

Can you explain clevinger at number 2 at heavyweight? Is that weight so bad we just toss names in for fun?

You say your not from Strasburg, but your rankings always show bias towards them in my opinion. You have Miller at #2 at 113 yet there are two higher state placers Vu and Ventro that you have ranked lower without any explanation or justification that I could find. You asked about the injury to Marlowe at 157, but yet didn't ask about the injury to Dean at 120. I think that's because you have eyes inside the Strasburg room and already know his status. Yes they are likely to win the team title, but that has nothing to do with individual rankings. Paranoia-Self-destroya LOL

Y'all sleeping on some Richland's kids. They did pretty good at the duals. Might wanna go check out some of those head to head matchups. Phillips is one kid to look out for.
BTW, In response to the 4 kids from D in HWT when only 3 qualify just shows how deep D is in that weight class. Another reason we need to see 16 man brackets at state without byes. Doesn't make sense and never will to me. If the reasoning is not enough kids, they're wrong. If they think they are right, then cut State to 3 classes 1A-3A.

If you were thinking of following the Class 2 Region A tournament on Track Wrestling think again. Once again, Poquoson will not use Track for the tournament. They are using paper. I believe they are the only region in any class that is not using Track. Can you believe this in 2024.

You'd think there would/should be some complete standardization for running VHSL sanctioned events? Especially post season... 1. Should always be on track. 2. Results should HAVE to be reported. 3. Standardize this and your seeding job gets easier long term.

It’s $100-150 to run the tournament through track. I’m sure Poquoson is not short on cash to use track.

Last year Class 2 Region A placers received paper certificates.

A couple years ago there were no medals at Regionals for Region C. Our coach procured medals for our placers. He also bought a trophy when the team placed 3rd at state I believe one point out of 2nd. He deserves credit for that.
