Also congrats to Lebanons Portia Campbell as being only the second female to ever win a weight class. The first happened last year with Kendi Dye of Richlands.

Did a Virginia High wrestler throw a punch on a Richlands’ wrestler during a match and wasn’t flagged for it? There’s a video floating around showing it but it’s hard to tell if it was intentional without seeing it live. Seems like this district meet had more than one controversy, lol! 
 

Good luck to all SWD/M7 wrestlers competing next week! Hopefully, it goes well and no drama!

I was there.  Didn't see anything like that. I can't see how an action like that was allowed to get by.  The fans got pretty loud and animated for several matches in the 3rd/4th and 1st/ 2nd rounds, but nothing out of the ordinary.  VA High ran a great tournament, very well organized and it ran smoothly.  Next Saturday should be very competitive also.  Both the SWD and the M7 have some really good wrestlers and teams.  Should be interesting.
