VHSL State Tournament 16 Feb 2024 Results

[BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717]

If you get updates for Class 1 and 2, and if Abingdon or Carroll County do some good stuff in Class 3, please post results. I have trouble finding wrestling results. If you Lonesome Pine homies find Results, please don't skimp out on Region C. Thanks in advance.

[BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717]

At about 4 pm on Friday the 16th at the end of the quarterfinal round and heading into the semifinal round for Virginia's Class 2. Teams scores so far are

1. Strasburg 75

2. Central Wise 69

3. Poquoson 67

[BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717]

Heading into tomorrow's (Saturday the 17th) championship rounds. The current Team scores are as follows...

Class 1

Grundy 108, Rural Retreat 66.5, Galax and Grayson tied at 54, Parry Mcluer is 5th at 41, and Eastside is 6th at 39.

Class 2

Strasburg is 84, Central-Wise is 69, Poquoson is 68, Union is 4th at 54, Richlands is 5th at 40, Glenvar 6th at 35, VA High 7th at 31. The move up to Class 2 for Riverheads is looking like more than they bargained for as they set at 12th right now in the team standings, but unless they have a great day tomorrow, it looks like they might have been better off staying in Class 1 with Grundy because they are nowhere close to the top 3, or 5, and not even in the top 10, and they were supposed to return a pretty good group.

Class 3, Christiansburg is 7th, Abingdon is 21st.

Conclusions...as most suspected, Grundy wins (will win) another title as their lead is pretty much too wide at this point and Strasburg repeats again as they will widen their lead in the championship rounds over Poquoson and Central. In Class 3, it's neck and neck with Staunton River and New Kent as suspected and that team title in Class 3 will likely go down to the wire.

I will post individual achievements from the coverage area after the Championship team results are in tomorrow afternoon unless someone else posts them first.

Congrats to all local teams.  Grundy with that many left is expected and of course, stands out, but that's Grundy.  Central Wise is the one that kind of jumps off the page at me.  9 left and of that 9, 8 of the 9 are the semi's.  That's alarmingly impressive and around the state in wrestling circles, most thought is was Strasburg and Poquoson followed by Central and the rest.  It appears that's not the case.  Again, credit to all teams who have done well like Union, Galax, Richlands, Grayson and more, but Central really surprises me.  I knew they were good, but.....dam@.

I still don't think he was 100%. An ACL is tough to recover from.

[BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717]

Class 1, Grundy wins another title. Grayson County barely nudged ahead of Rural Retreat for a 2nd place team finish. Galax was 4, Parry McCluer 5, and Fort Chiswell 6th. Eastside was 9th and Holston 10th.

Class 2, Strasburg repeats, followed by Poquoson 2nd, and Central Wise finishing 3rd. Radford 4th, Union 5th. Richlands was 7th and Riverheads finished 9th.

Class 3. Staunton River repeats as state champs just like Grundy and Strasburg did. New Kent was 2nd. Christiansburg finished 6th.

Curious so I watched video.  Both scored a takedown.  One got unsportsmanlike for nearly taking potters head off.  Potter gets an escape to make it 4-2. Later gets a warranted stall call.  Kid from central should have kept shooting, he was getting in and snapping potter down easy at times. End of match.  Boring almost,  but hey not bad for a one-legged wrestler.  Gas tank looked OK for potter late in the match nearly thrown but recovered. Looked like a good match-up but potter has been in too many battles not to survive. Looked at bracket, central kid had a great draw to get to the finals. He had liberty and Southampton kid. Potter's side had Strasburg, potter, and radford. Bet a few 157s/175s are wishing they'd stayed 165 now. Looked better than the 4-0 match in regional week earlier.  Wish the 2 were Jr's. It would be a good rematch next year a couple more times.

And people want to say combine 1 and 2? Could you imagine how hard it would be to get out of 1D/2D? Sheesh! A&B would love that because they're still getting more kids while d would be leaving better kids at home, again.

Central had i think a 120 freshman I think 120 no one was giving much of a chance that won it  Also a hall kid made it to the finals.  I thought he out wrestled Potter but anyways his dad a a 2 or 3 time finalist for Kelly back in the day

That would be better than forfeits and the caliber of wrestling overall.  After the top 2 in most weight classes there is a pretty decent drop off it seems.
