157 stung as an upset for the Lions. Minerva pinned Carrollton HWT at TopGun, now the results the opposite.
Wow, Norris with a big OT win. That weight is shaking out to be one of the tougher in their district.
 
Wow! Lots of negative things to say on this post. First, I am not a former Warrior or any EBC school, I'm a Fitch graduate from a long time ago, that moved to South Range in 2002 and helped build a wrestling team as a start up program. I have always respected the West Branch program and the rich history of wrestling out there, in fact, they were one of the models I looked at when starting South Range youth program. As the former High School coach, I have met Coach Dorris at EOWL meetings but don't know him personally at all but the trash talking is way overboard. What all fans have to realize is the amount of time, effort and commitment these coaches do put in for very little pay. It's way more than practice once a day, coaching on Saturdays. Scheduling, early release from school, hotels, meals, entering criteria in tourneys, bussing, league meetings etc,,,,
Every school, regardless of division will experience rebuilding years. Look at Canfield, Beaver, Fitch and now South Range (who won State Duals just two years ago) they all had great teams recently and now are in rebuilding years. Obviously the bigger schools with more kids can possibly rebuild faster but it takes time and effort, especially for D2 and D3 schools, not trash talking. Rather than crucifying the guy, go HELP him if you think he needs it. Remember it's pretty easy to criticize from the cheap seats, not so easy to offer a helping hand. Just food for thought. They will be good again, just taking more time than some of your expectations. Just food for thought.

I agreed with you 100% of the way through, until you said they will be good again. With the current coaching staff, being around it for years, I assure you it will not. But yes, maybe you’re right. They just need help. Some additions to the staff. Maybe the bashing did get out of hand but there does need to be change.

I totally respect this post. And you are absolutely right in so many areas. It does take time and commitment, as rebuilding isnt easy. But often times essential. And I do not believe in personal insults or hitting below the belt. Its not necessary, nor productive. The responsibility is huge and should be respected. However, West Branch has been blessed with some really strong talent, former athletes, alumini, and more that wanted to help; and still do; to make a difference more than not. As to why conversations were initiated years ago, when many of these young men were still in Middle School or in the Youth. Some conversations were had and some never fully accomplished. And many of those who dedicated themselves to our kids and the program were shut down or shut out. I believe the intent was pure and for the good our kids, the program, and community. Losing just one who bled green was enough and cause for attention. Losing more is an emergency; Considering the commitment, dedication, and passion put forward for years. Many families have invested so much into this, not just for self or for our own. But for each other’s and the future. No one wanted the name, they just wanted to pour into the kids and the program. What should have been a coming together became a nightmare!
I cannot speak for how people choose to address their concern, but I can only imagine that the level of frustration is so high when no one wanted to see this, they felt their voice was not valid, or they felt forced out. The level of respect that has been shown to some who simply voiced their opinion or eagerness for change has been disappointing. And now we got ourselves a big mess! But like I said before, if the love for the program is there and the passion for our future. Put pride aside, and handle business, whatever it takes to see growth and unity! Cuz right about now, thats what its going to take!

So, to quote my name, here we go. To clarify, I am not 103 nor am I 1997, as I am so often accused of being. So, now that this out of the way. Can someone please verify? That the WWE coach, not only a few weeks ago, trash talked the middle school kids for their loss, in which the youth coach went to the super attendant about, which nothing happened. But then the same WWE Coach yesterday, confronted a former wrestler who was a pre-ranked kid in the bathroom of the school, because he was making fun of the program and the coaching staff which is why he did not even come out for the season and would rather focus on football. When this happened, he called his mother, which called the school, and they did nothing about? Even though he (said WWE coach) has a history of doing, which why he is no longer at United (look it up, its facts). He is in his position because the HC wants his little yes men. I really hope not only does the super attendant, the school board but especially the AD do something about this. The program is in shambles everyone sees this and their record over the past 3 years reflects this(this may be the first year in 25+ years they don't have a state qualifier). My hope is the AD, gets over his ego and reputation and makes the right decision, as twice now he has appointed jokes of a coach, so they don't look successful, when the board actually hire a coach from a well prominent family with a rich wrestling history to replace him when he retired and was overridden, please do the right thing now!!!

Superintendent* lol.

Jack had a good season ahead of him. Alongside younger Wayt. I think at this point there’s not much else to do or say. I’ve heard from a friend of a friend that we can expect some coaching adjustments next season.

Forgive me for using names. I only do so due to the two not being on the team any longer. Let’s just hope our 126, and 215 can make it out.

gotcha on the spelling lmao, I'm street smart not book smart, lmao spelling doesn't mean much, but the Dorris's fb message much about my grammar. Pretty sure I'm more successful though. At least according to my life and bank account, just a point of view, most people don't want me to go away, and my marriage is solid. lmao, yea I just went there. 1997 not sure who you are but sure we could be friends lol.
 
Sectional Finishes :

Carrollton - 1st at Claymont
Salem - 1st at WB
Minerva - 2nd at Claymont
Marlington - 3rd at WB
Alliance - 6th at WB
West Branch - 11th at WB
 
So how many are going to Columbus next week? Am I crazy for thinking we could have close to 15 kids across the league get out? Carrollton should get 4, Salem possibly 3, Minerva 2 or 3, Alliance maybe 2, Marlington 1 and there's a bunch of kids across the league that are probably one match out and are totally capable of pulling the upsets

Carrollton gets 106, 113, 126, 138 comfortably.
Salem should get 175 but have tough draws at 138 and 144 where they’ll need to each steal a top 10 win.
Minerva has nice runs to the finals at 120 and 175, whereas 126 and 132 will need upset wins.
Alliance should get 190 and 285. Their 165 had a nice top 10 upset this past weekend that he’ll likely have to repeat in order to go.
Marlington has favorable odds at 113, and winnable “upsets” in the air at 106, 126, and 144 as their next best chances.
West Branch unfortunately will not need hotels.

I think 10 is a healthy number. I’d say the ceiling is 15. Marlington had a great District Tournament last year. I think one way or another they find a way to get two out.

No first team 215?
 
I believe they just take the 13 best guys based off record and head to heads. No weight class accommodations.

113 did not have a representative as the best guy in Snair (Carrollton) wrestled up at 120 for a few duals and suffered a loss to first teamer Mueller (120) from Minerva. Bean of Marlington who is down at 113 for post season was at 120 for a majority of the season but also suffered a loss to Mueller up at 120.

132 did not have a representative as the best guys here were moved around in duals for Minerva and Carrollton and canceled each other out. For Minerva you had Brocklehurst (Lost to Cy. Burt of Salem - Beat Childs of Carrollton), First Teamer Norris (Lost to Stanley of Marlington - Beat Pidgeon of Carrollton), and McCrobie (Lost to Carman of Carrollton, Jezek of Salem - Beat Dorris of West Branch). For Carrollton, Childs (Lost to Brocklehurst of Minerva) and Pidgeon (First Team - Wrestled at 126 and 132 before deciding on 126 for postseason).

215 did not have a representative as you had no undefeated guys. Hang (WB) beat Hall (Marlington), Patchin (Salem 190) beat Hang. That spot seems to be replaced by two undefeated 175's (Stecker of Salem and Dietrich of Minerva) that did not wrestle in the dual due to lineup adjustments.

I don't like it
 
Snair is not at 113?You know what...don't matter much.League is becoming a memory for the most part.No rival's outside carrollton-minerva.

He was majored by Minerva. Likely hurt his bid to get first team up against the other one loss guys like Norris and Pidgeon who both had 2 point losses.
I don't like it
I’m 50/50 on it. I wouldn’t have been a fan of one of this years 215’s receiving first team over Dietrich or Stecker.
 
Marlington 2 SF, 4 Consi
Salem 2 SF, 5 Consi
Alliance 4 SF
WB 1 Consi
Carrollton 4 SF, 5 Consi
Minerva 3 SF, 3 Consi

33 total remain. 15 SF and 18 Consi. I still think 10 is a healthy number looking at some of the SF matchups but Alliance despite a patchy last place finish in the league has a great chance to come out with at least 3 SQ!
 
Alliance with four qualifiers at 144, 165, 190, 285 - all in the finals. Awesome to see some spark reignite in Alliance. Salem has 175 in the finals - 138, 144, 150 in blood round. West Branch has 215 in blood rounds. Marlington has 113 in the finals, 106 and 144 in blood round. Carrollton has 106, 113, 138 in finals, 126 going for 3/4. Minerva has 120 going for 3/4, 132 going for 3/4, 175 in finals.

League is currently at 13 going to Columbus, with 6 in blood rounds. Salem and Marlington will go head to head at 144 for a bid. I’d slate this postseason as an over performance thus far. Just great to see.

Salem wins at 144. Sends 2 through. Marlington loses at 106 as well and only gets 1 through. West Branch loses as well.

14 guys have ticketed their spot.

Unfortunately they only do 14 first teamers. Got to have some credibility to the first team though. Correct me if I am wrong but I think all not first teamers listed above had a loss in EBC this year. No way to make everyone happy. Undefeated guys get the bid simple as that. Not to say Snair isn't better than half the first teamers. Just how it goes
