Congratulations to Isaac Reed, 2011 WV State Wrestling 4th place finisher! Winfield did not do too bad at this year's state wrestling tournament. Chris Cochran (103), Isaac Reed (119), and Nathan Briscoe (145) all qualified to go to the "Big Dance" this year. Nathan had a tough draw and was not able to place at his weight class. Chris got the ball rolling for Winfield with a great match and a decision win over Josh Steffi of Capital HS. Isaac had the next victory win a decision over Andrew Stanley of North Marion. Chris had a tough time with then number one Lance Hill of Parkersburg South, losing by a technical fall. Chris had a better match against Cody Salamone of University but lost by decision. Isaac had a fantastic quarterfinal match pinning Kane Bender of Buchannon Upshur. Isaac's semi-final match was against number 1 ranked and eventual State Champion David Jeffery of Parkersburg South, losing by a fall. Isaac then rebounded the next day in the consolation bracket and defeated Dylan Marker of Capital by decision. In the Third/Fourth place consolation final, Isaac faced Alex Reimann of Cabell Midland. He gave it a good shot, but lost 6 - 0 against Reimann. Congratulations to all of the wrestlers on a very good showing. Team scoring was also pretty good with Winfield scoring 16 team points. Winfield finished in a tie for 25th place out of 39 teams, ahead of such teams as Parkersburg, Hurricane, and Riverside. Hopefully next year we will be able to bring more to the big event and increase our team score even more!

HS - Regional Tournament Results [Feb. 19, 2011]

The Winfield Wrestling team did well, but fell short of the goal to take 6 wrestlers to the state tournament this year. The Generals are sending 3 wrestlers to the State Tournament, Freshman Chris Cochran (103) took third place, Sophomore Isaac Reed (119) took third place, and Senior Nathan Briscoe (145) took fourth place. The other place finishers who came close include Junior Andy Patton (112) sixth, Sophomore Branden Eads (152) sixth, Junior Andy Ellington (160) fifth, Sophomore Gabe Briscoe (171) sixth, and Senior Jonathan Richardson (285) sixth. The team took seventh in the toughest region of the state, but the future looks bright with most of the team returning for next year. It was a bittersweet ending for some of our wrestlers, Senior Alex Bryant (140) had a tough draw and was not able to advance to the State Tournament, he was a good team captain and his leadership will be missed next year. Special thanks to all of our parents for their support this season, everyone did a fantastic job! This will be a busy week, so stay posted for more details.

HS - Bob Stover Classic [Jan. 30, 2011]


The Winfield High School Wrestling Team looked like it would have one of the worst appearances of the season after a disastrous preliminary round that left the Generals in the 7th position with a long road to travel. However, the team showed what they were made of, and stormed back becoming runner-up champion next to Clay County. Clay County dominated the event, but Winfield proved they were a top team. Although Winfield had no individual champions, they had several place finishers. Chris Cochran (103), Isaac Reed (119), and Alex Bryant (140) were runner-up Champions. Andy Patton (112), Greg Keller (125), Jonathan Shamblin (145), and John Richardson (285) took third place.

HS - Mike Ellis Invitational Results - [Dec. 4, 2010]

The Winfield Wrestling Team did well in their first action of this year's wrestling season. In duals action, the Generals defeated South Charleston 78 - 0, Greenbrier East 39 - 30, and Fairland, Ohio 42 - 42 on criteria of most matches won. After winning their pool, the team went to the Championship bracket, but lost to eventual tournament Champion McCreary of Kentucky 60 - 12, and took 4th place, losing to Hurricane 51 - 27. Chris Cochran (103) and Issac Reed (119) had decision wins against McCreary, and Jon Richardson (285) scored a fall. The match against Hurricane was closer than the score would indicate, but Hurricane is a very tough team this year. Our thoughts do go out to Caiden Durham who was wrestling in his first ever tournament, but suffered a season ending injury when he broke his collar bone. All wrestlers were very competitive this weekend, great job!


MS - Charleston Civic Center Results - [Dec. 4, 2010]


The boys did really well this weekend and finished 5-2. We just missed making it into the Championship rounds by a few points. Our team scored 327 points total and only had 248 scored against them. Garrett Keefer, Evan Fairchild and Bryce Humphreys went undefeated at 7-0. Noah Julian was 6-1. Jake Thompson and CJ Crumley was 5-2.
Special thanks to Zack Namey and Isaac Hudson for stepping up to the next weight spot and saved us some points because we didn't have to forfeit. It's a great start to the season and I expect us to get better as we go. I am hoping to peak right before the WSAZ's, which is the MS championship. We placed 2 kids there last year and as a team finished 18th in the State. I hope we can place a couple more and also move up the rankings a little bit. Congratulations to the boys and we'll see you at practice Monday.
