The rest of the Claymont Wrestlers did not display anything close to that..by all accounts this was atypical behavior by the wrestler that was DQ. What are you basing the statement that Claymont Coaches don’t have any control??
I agree on the 175 match. Those two wrestlers have went after multiple times over the last few years. It is always a match that will not let you down. After the dust settles after every match both wrestlers shake hands and move on. Im sure there is much respect for each other when it is all said and done.
Both the 175 and 157 matches actually . Clear (157) wos the MVW
Was it though? I believe he lost a match at the hall of fame tournament because he couldn’t keep his cool. Seems like maybe it’s just escalated?
Wow that's crazy I've just always tried to give the Claymont program their props. That young man definitely deserves to be out the post season.
IV has only been in the league 6 years. Our 1st year in Clay won nd 2 years ago SV won. This is the first year we’ve been the biggest school in the league . We don’t have that kind of success in any other other sport though we are typically at least good at all sports. Since joining the league TV has more team titles than IV and Hiland is only 1 behind. I’d say IV is a perfect fit for the IVC.
You are correct, sorry! I had 165 & 175 backwards. Forgot our 175 was down to 165.
Interesting. Do these numbers reflect both boy and girl titles? If so it would be interesting to see these broke down by gender
I’m not sure. A guy that goes by IVC fan on twitter updates from time to time!
I get it that one sport doesnt dictate a schools league, but in wrestling they are the clear favorites.
A better option would probably be to add a few more big schools and give a big and small school title. It would be beneficial for all sports as well. Unfortunately, I feel like that ship has sailed with teams like Cambridge, Meadowbrook, Coshocton, Riverview, etc, probably no longer an option.
Rumor has it that the EBC is folding..if so Carrollton and Minerva would be a perfect fit. The big school division would look almost identical to the old Senate League.
Wont be the favorite for very long lol claymont is on a resurgence.
Seems like a lot of travel for them but other than that its a great fit.
Yeah considering claymonts 7th and 8th graders beat iv in a dual by like 60 points gtfo
Warner is getting this program back to where it should beIV has 5 real good kids wrestling club that dont wrestle for the school.maybe more.big difference from jr high to high school is if the kids stick around for there home school.if the coaching and a few other things dont get straightened out at IV then the IV program could take a hit.IVC is a good league,and leagues are hard to get in to.leave the league alone.school size doesnt dictate success.claymont was middle of the league in the ecol.hmm rememberYeah considering claymonts 7th and 8th graders beat iv in a dual by like 60 points gtfo
Numbers are up but jr high results don't mean jack crap. If that's the case then garaway will be loaded next yr as almost their whole team is 8th graders.Yeah considering claymonts 7th and 8th graders beat iv in a dual by like 60 points gtfo
My educated guess says half of them won’t be wrestling at IV next year!
Or your just hoping sorry as long as IV has a great program nobody is going to be knocking on stangs door anytime soon. Now I do agree the stangs program is on the up but no way IV wresters transfer over with the program they built. Honestly IMO I could see some claymont wrestlers transferring to IV.
I don’t believe any Claymont kid that is or has left went for their wrestling program? They did not leave for our coaching staff in wrestling lol let’s be real. They came because our the baseball and football programs. Plain and simple. Sounds like Garaway is gonna be competing for that IVC title tho with all those Jr.High standouts
We can revisit in August.
We will see about that one. Nobody gets in their own way like Claymont does. I can't tell you how many junior high mustang football teams beat Dover, Phila and us over the years only to result in 3-7 4-6 seasons. Hope the stangs can get something rolling. I miss the rivary. From the looks of things school spirit is at an all time low. Some major problems going on with the strength and conditioning program. But for now, hoping Coach Braun stays and keeps dominating IVC wrestling!Yeah considering claymonts 7th and 8th graders beat iv in a dual by like 60 points gtfo
No more travel than Carrollton and Minerva already does. Garaway and Ridgewood would be the longest hauls. Carrolton already plays Garaway in football. Minerva would add 15 minutes on their drive. SV and TV are 15 minutes away. Its 45 minutes to Claymont for Carrollton. Carrollton already travels 45 minutes to Alliance, West Branch, Marlington and Salem. IV, Clay, TV, SV, Garaway, Ridgewood, Carrollton and Minerva would be a perfect big school division for all sports.
Hope this isn’t true. He’s done a nice job and those would be some fun and intense duals in coming years
Dusty isn’t leaving. He will stick around just to make sure old sticky fingers Swaldo don’t try and weasel he way in. Because if Swaldo would get that job then you might see kids leave for other schools then.
Where’s dusty going ?
