Why would MP want to use their A team at the Exeter Blue / White duals? That is like Westtown basketball entering the WC Rustin Christmas Tournament - pointless for all involved.
Since they wrestled with their B team twice (including against DTown West) and then left, I will assume they had a conflict and had to leave early.

Someone from Downingtown or Malvern has to know. |
I know what happened. But perhaps I will wait for a Downingtown west representative (blast double). Or others to explain. Considering I always been a proud do Downingtown alumni wrestler Today was a sad day to be a whippet. Or should I now say wimpet

Now we wait for SUUUUP to apologize for talking out his rear-end.

Mo.
Nice comment from someone who wasn’t there I have no need to apologize i was there to witness the events. I left it open for an explanation. From a west representative. Never got one. Got an understanding for Slackjaw. Who wasn’t there. But he did have a good comment to leave it go and be big boys. That I will do. Just need to reply to your poke.
FYI. Big fan was right. Malvern A team had places to be. There was a big open house recruiting camp in the wrestling room at 4 pm Saturday. Glad they made it back in time. It was successful.

It’s my understanding that Lackawanna Trail would have had Malvern A first. They said the inevitable loss would affect their district team seedlings. This would be true for West too. Don’t know exactly but I know for a fact that Breese verbally told Nate that West would wrestle. I believe the train already left the station by then.

I pray/hope to God we did not dodge Malvern A. If proven, I might check the local listings for my 3 up and coming hammers

I heard Faith has open doors but don't expect a call - cause they don't recruit. Also, I can't imagine Coach Breese dodging anyone. He enters the toughest tourneys and I have never seen West back down. Might be the reason they are the only consistently relevant team in the DTown area.

But what do I know

Not sure what you mean by "relevant" but West has been to the duals 9 times since 2010 and East has been 8 since 2010 (including a finals appearance). Sure, west has been stronger lately but thats the way the cycle works. Sometimes there are more/talented kids on east side and sometimes west. 5 of those years since 2010 both teams were in the duals. Both teams are relevant, I would say. Or were you referring to Bishop Shanahan?

Looks like Malvern could've used that match against Downingtown. Choking against Beca? Not scoring for 5 straight matches?

Not a fair statement. Anyone that invested 5 bucks and a few hours of time got their investment back 10 fold. Every match was a battle!!! The intensity was exciting, words being exchanged, competitors pushing and shoving it was two hours of wrestling nirvana.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.†Teddy Roosevelt

I heard conflicting stories about Exeter Duals today. Does anyone know if Downingtown West refused to wrestle Malvern Prep or if Malvern Prep walked out of dual for unknown reasons. I was told there was a long break after third round, then a coaches meeting took place and then Malvern left with two more scheduled matches. That is all the info I have, I am not sure which other teams if any were involved.

Soooo, quick question.
In an 8 team bracket, if you lose the semi, you usually get the other semi loser for 3rd.
The Whippet must have followed a new format. Given this thread, I find it kinda suss.

You'll see a lot of bracketed duals tournaments only follow the bracket the first round or two and then just try to prevent repeat matchups.

Sorry lost respect for Malvern when they sent 5th year senior Harry/Henry Mauk out in PIAA events. They clearly knew he wasn't eligible but still entered him in PIAA events.
See how long this post lasts.

Wasn't that like a decade ago? Not sure what good bringing that up now does, unless you want another locked post.
