Belpre at Parkersburg South, North Marion TRI. 1-23

How is Belpre going to stack up with pshs and north marion?

I think is going to depend on who is health from Belpre and who is not. Have one that got some test results back and his health has been bad for a reason. I have heard though his sickness is getting better and should be getting his strength back.
There is another on but I don't want to give away his injury so it is not looked at during the match if you know what I mean....

This is going to be some good wrestling, some of the best wrestlers in Wva. vs some pretty good wrestlers from Belpre. Tyler Cooper just needs 2 wins to get his 100th win, could happen tonight.
Go Eagles.

I'm not sure about N. Marion's 145, But I don't think Cooper is going to beat Andy Church.
North Marion's 160 Hinerman, is #1 in Wva.; is Packard 160 or 171?
Should be some good matches, but Belpre doesn't have enough depth to beat either team. Good luck Belpre, but Go Pats.

Packard normally wrestles 160 or 171 depending on who is in the weight class. He will want to wrestle whatever weight class has the tougher wrestlers NORMALLY.

Results?

The officiating was horrible, two of South's favorite sons were the officials.
Although it didn't affect the overall outcome of the tri, several individual matches were affected, especially the Phillip Wiggers vs south match.
South 59 Belpre12
N. M. 45 Belpre 28
Cooper didn't wrestle, Randolph wrestled one match. Carr and Waderker won both matches, Packard won vs South and lost 8-7 to Hinerman of N. M.

I'll have to admitt the refs seemed a little biased in the duels involving south, but did a pretty good job Belpre vs North M.
IMO, Wiggers got robbed.
