Just interested in the seeds. I don't think anyone is putting the brackets out there. That's the Tim I've known for a very long time ... love that guy though!

Since Batavia had their see meeting last night, do you know why the seeds haven't been posted on Baumspage yet? Asking for a friend ;-)

No they have not. They met last year in the Regional Finals, but they normally don't schedule one another. Perhaps they can find a way to squeeze a dual in sometime in the next several weeks. That would be fun for both programs and their fans.

Couldn't agree with you more.

The rankings shown above for the Cincinnati area are just for fun. They have no bearing on anything, except that whoever is #1 at the end of the year gets some recognition. In the past several years, the final poll usually mirrored (for the most part) how the Cincinnati teams fared in the...

Yep, the SW covers a lot of ground ... the I-75 corridor from Dayton to Cincinnati, I-71 from Cincinnati to roughly the Washington CH/Wilmington area, and about everything inside that triangle, plus many teams East of Cincinnati.

Voting is not a great option, not even a good one, but it's better than basing current year playoff teams on previous year's results. Like I stated earlier, let the kids on the current year's team, in their current weights, in their current health, with the potential new additions, determine...

This makes perfect sense. I mean, if this were football, then the teams making the Final 8 of the playoffs this year would have been those teams with the most returning all-league and all-state selections from last year. Makes perfect sense, because we all know it's the best individuals that...

This goes way back to the early 80's in Central NY (between Utica and Syracuse) to a large high school tournament just a few days before Christmas. In a field of about 35 teams, this 2-day event featured some of the biggest/best teams in the state (Baldwinsville & Fulton) as well as several...

Go to a program (any Division) with a history of making mediocre kids good, and good kids better kids. Go to a program where he can make friends, and they will support him. Not much different than choosing a college ... go to the place that feels right.

I too apologize "WishYouWereHere" for my thoughtless retort. This damn COVID has us all wound a little tight. Anyone, I am really sorry you aren't having your competition this weekend. My Team is fortunate to have wrestled 3 duals last night and 2 more later today. I'm going to paint with a...

Oh, and to show me the errors in my ways requires facts, something a certain group of the U.S. citizenry seems to have a problem with these days. Take your time ...

Ok Skippy, in just a few short years (3 to be more precise), you'll have caught-up to me. Repent? Error of my ways? I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. Quit while you're already behind my friend.

Like everything else, nothing is perfect. In management just as in public policy, your time is always better spent focusing on what effects the masses, not the minute few. Are there Coaches lacking in integrity? Of course. But those are also the same guys who cheat on the hydration test...

Way back in the 70's and 80's when I wrestled in NY, it was always the honor system for duals. The kids could weigh in before Noon, and if they made weight, they got 3 extra pounds for the 'real' weigh-in just before the dual. I never once even heard a whisper of dishonesty. My Coach was a...
