very likely shakeup in poquoson lineup, wont affect state predictions/rankings, will test confidence in teams overall confidence and focus. waiting to see how it plays out on the scales tomorrow.

After speaking to my Poquoson peeps sounds like an upset family after a wrestle off didn’t go their way. I highly doubt this affects their confidence or the scales! Looking forward to seeing them in Salem.

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. Cost prohibitive ....... I completely agree with you on that however; the VHSL is the exact opposite of Standardized. It is next to impossible to look up a rule. Its like playing Go Fish. As Far as Poquoson.. ITS TIME TO PICK A FIGHT!!! How many years are we going to allow them to pull this garbage? They should be ELIMINATED from ever being able to host a post season tournament! There is NOTHING gained from them doing this. They are only holding back the sport.

At this point in time you and your entire program look Horrible! This does nothing to advance the sport and only brings your motives and integrity into question.

Looking forward to seeing them in Salem. Don't believe everything you hear. Poquoson not known for its integrity, why would you think they would start now.

There is NOTHING gained from them doing this. They are only holding back the sport. From Nandua not Poquoson, but I have been fighting for years for it to be put on track. I keep getting told the Region AD's vote it down. This year I got told it cost too much money to run for "such a small tournament". Additionally, other teams in the regions have offered to host the tournament. Amelia County, Randolph-Henry, I have also said I'd be willing to host it. Poquoson wanted to give it up, sat in the meeting where the Poq AD said someone please take it from us, but the region ADs vote to keep it at Poquoson because they don't lost money hosting it there. So many of their fans pay to get in they break even/make money. They don't believe this will happen elsewhere.

warrior wrestling is exactly right. the only variable offering region A any sign of life or anything resembling respect is the team from poquoson. Before anyone has an aneurysm just look at the rankings provided by the western part of the state(experts) to which only THREE wrestlers are ranked out of all wt. classes from the. ENTIRE region A(besides of course poq.). I f you can believe that then you will agree with nandua coach that hosting the event would lose too much money as poquoson is the only team supporting the region at the gate. until the other teams have the support from their community beyond the 5-20 parents and sibs, it is not a viable economical option. if poquoson is supporting the entire region ( fig. speaking)then asked to pay for track doesn’t sound financially sound. if your team is worried about amelia or bruton you’ve got bigger problems than results on track.

Solid points but still should be on track. The real question is how many poquosan wrestlers will make it to states and how many will place? My guess is 8 place and 12 go.

I've had my fair share of issues with the tournament being held at Poquoson but I can wrap my head around the financial reasoning for it being held there. At the same time, it would cost $104 this year, assuming all 104 wrestlers show up tomorrow, to run the event on track (assuming it's still $1 per participant?). The amount of fans coming into the building for the event at $10 per person more than covers costs plus a little bit. In my opinion, fan experience in today's day in age is important. My wrestler's parents/fans/family who are traveling 2+ hours to the tournament (plus cost of bay bridge tunnel) want the track experience so it's easier for them to follow. Creeperish I know, but I read back to your comments about Poquoson tournament last year complaining about the lack of bout sheets for sale, if it's run on track, no need for bout sheets!

Creeperish I know, but I read back to your comments about Poquoson tournament last year complaining about the lack of bout sheets for sale, if it's run on track, no need for bout sheets! you’re 100% correct, as fan of the sport i like the track providing details of yr/wins/losses etc. it was not my intention to come off anti track quite the opp., i suppose my train of thought was towards those from across the state “needing” results. as for my ignorance to the fact it’s only 100.00( thought it was considerably more).my apology for doublespeak. i’ll clarify myself, i’m pro track and it should be used or at least have bracket sheets available to the patrons. poquosons poor hosting last year made the experience as a fan to follow teams and the wrestlers impossible. they MUST do better for the fan. however, i stand by my comment that if only interested in results as to thwart a prediction of state brackets is not a prerequisite to host. i will be in attendance so as a consolation to any concerned or just curious fan as my self, i’d be happy to pass on any info. everyone have a great and safe region tomorrow and good luck to your wrestler and/ or team

I did see Strasburg pretty much had their way in the 5 duals they had not sure if they lost more than 6 matches combined.
Colby Shaw took down Tyler Forbes 10-4 I believe in a match that wasn’t even close. Both look like they might need to get the conditioning up for the post season.
Strasburg looked solid in 13/14 the heavyweight seems to struggle but I believe is back after taking many years off
Central—Forbes and Lopez weren’t really challenged except for the Shaw match with Forbes
Clarke—Jacobson is a man on a mission they do have other kids that could sneak into state placement
Page, Mountain View, and Madison—could have a few kids up and down the weights that could advance like sacra from Madison
All in all next week at riverheads for regionals I don’t really see much changing other than adding some riverheads kids to advance to states
Sadly wrestling in the bull run and region b isn’t much outside of the normal power school that do well year in and out with exception of Clarke which is down in numbers. I think the 6a system is hurting Virginia as a whole as 1 and 2a school with exception of a handful struggle to fill 10 weights

That’s why Strasburg wins! Hold that thought for states
