Yes they have fallen off. Mainly do to coaching. Only had 14 kids come out for team. I don't think they have anyone under 126.Has West Branch fallen off that bad in wrestling? Only a few years ago they won something like 6 out of 7 nbc/ebc titles.
Carrollton took the crown last year and didn't graduate much. I believe Minerva graduated a handful of solid upper weights.Carrollton and Minerva will battle for the top spot. And there are going to be some very competitive weight classes during league matches.
I agree. They have a solid squad this year and a young one too. I could see them comfortably taking down Marlington, Alliance, and WB.It's a shame Canton South is gone, their program was just starting to really turn the corner
Isn't this his Freshman year? Last year was his second OAC junior high title I thought?I agree. They have a solid squad this year and a young one too. I could see them comfortably taking down Marlington, Alliance, and WB.
They also have a 200lb eighth grade phenom as well that has won b2b OAC titles and Tulsa nationals.
No, he is still an eighth grader. Jr High OAC allows eligibility starting in 6th grade. He will end up being a 3-time Jr High champ.Isn't this his Freshman year? Last year was his second OAC junior high title I thought?
That's remarkable, hope the Wildcats hold onto himNo, he is still an eighth grader. Jr High OAC allows eligibility starting in 6th grade. He will end up being a 3-time Jr High champ.
I was just looking at the results to verify and found it quite neat - in last season's state bracket he had two falls (0:08, 0:24) and two 15-0 tech falls. Scary dominance and really emphasizes your point or their program making a turn. If he stays CS will have a four-time placer at the least!
It is really easy to say things behind a computer screen and a username. The fact of the matter is you do not know what you are talking about. Have you seen a practice at WB? Do you have direct knowledge of anything related to the program? Do you know the current struggles that we as a coaching staff are battling? If you did, which you do not, you would know what is going on with the dynamics of the program and the district. You wouldn't know that because you are not involved with the program in any capacity. Whynot103 you say its mainly do to coaching? Feel free share your real name so we could see who is making bold claims that it is do to coaching. Once you share your true identity, I will welcome you into my program to show you what we have going on. To show you how we are rebuilding from the youth up. To show you that the future is bright in this program not to mention, the kids we have wrestling now are hard nose tough kids and we will come looking for a fight. We will not back down and these kids will give it their all. I am proud of this team and the work they are putting in and it is showing. So, what say you Whynot103?Yes they have fallen off.

If kids aren't wrestling for you it doesn't really matter what you do in the room, it's the outside the room stuff too. It's really not a great look to post a rant on an anonymous image board and might be part of the problem your program is currently facingIt is really easy to say things behind a computer screen and a username.

So, its ok for people to call in question what is being done and we can not defend our program, kids and staff. I wouldn't it say it was a rant. There is no emotion in anything that was said. Just asking for a person to not hide behind a screen. I would say it was more of an educational experience and sticking up for the kids, program and the district. As far as out of the room stuff too, you mean like taking the kids to Penn State camp, open mat opportunities all off season, taking kids to other open mats. Or other out of the room stuff like attending the kids other sports activities and building relationships in the hallways. You are 100% correct its is all about that. Its always about the kids and we have great kids at WB.If kids aren't wrestling for you it doesn't really matter what you do in the room, it's the outside the room stuff too.

As a Carrollton alumni best of luck to West Branch. I prefer when the conference is good and it's been way to often the last few years the top couple teams in conference are sleep walking thru the other teams. I also like to see the most possible state qualifiers from the conference as possible.So, its ok for people to call in question what is being done and we can not defend our program, kids and staff.

I think it's within the rights of a person to question why has happened to a program that has taken such a drastic turn in performance in a short time period, I also don't think you owe any of those people an explanation and that if you're confident in what you're doing and have a long term solution you're going to be ok. In the future though I don't think I'd post in this forum, it will only lead to more headaches for you and the WarriorsSo, its ok for people to call in question what is being done and we can not defend our program, kids and staff.

I dont know if that's a fair statement.Yes they have fallen off. Mainly do to coaching. Only had 14 kids come out for team. I don't think they have anyone under 126.
I swear I tried that
I believe it. It took a little exploring to find it.I swear I tried that
Thank you
Ok, agree, Carrollton 1 minvera or Salem 2 opposite is 3.Carrollton 43 Marlington 27
Minerva 47 West Branch 24
Salem 49 Alliance 30
Takeaways - Carrollton remains the league favorite, and the four man lightweight punch continues to reign. Marlington making a strong first showing for most improved. WB HAS the strength, yet as we know - not in numbers. West Branch won 5 of the 10 matches wrestled, but FF 4 weights. Salem won 9/14 and dominated 126-150.
Whynot103Ok, agree, Carrollton 1 minvera or Salem 2 opposite is 3.
Alliance 4, marlington 5 west branch last
So yes wb did win half of contested matches.
But 3 or the wins came against minvera first year kids. Also Minvera bumped kids up most 2 classes. Example Minvera 120 pins wb 132. And so on.
Other then 126, Minvera wrestle their 126 against wb coach's son lasted about 50 seconds. Now no buts they could have just bumped everyone a class. But other then 190 , 126 is Minveras best kid. S they left him there just to humiliate the great ones kid. Will happen against Salem and Carrollton for wb to.
