Comments about ‘Wasatch wins 8th straight crown’

It was an exciting tournament. Delta gave it a good shot but Wasatch came through in the matches they needed to win.
Next year should be another fun one.

Wasatch won it's 6th straight crown, not 8th. It is their 8th since 2000, but Delta won in 2002.

Congratulations to Wasatch and Coach Sanderson. He is a class act.

What a great finish in the 3A race. Powerhouse Wasatch had a surprise push from Delta, which made the finals more interesting. My son and I kept totaling the scores after each final, seeing Delta keep a lead in the early matches. But Wasatch's strong tradition and strength in the upper weights proved to be too much for Delta. But it made for an exciting finals. Overall, the state meets in all classifications provided some of the best wrestling in years as it crowned many multiple title winners and several among the best in the whole country. Wrestling in Utah continues to improve and compete with the country's top elite wrestlers. Good job to the dedicated wrestlers and their coaches for all the time they put in to the sport. Also, good luck to those wrestlers who move on to the Senior Nationals; make Utah proud.

I agree it was excititng and dramatic! Delta came in with a GREAT team and top wrestlers to make this a memorable tournament.

Congratulations to all of the wrestlers at State! It was fun to watch and very exciting! Great job boys.

Actually it was the sixth straight and 18th overall. Good job to the Wasps for keeping up TRADITION! I'm proud of you guys!

It's six straight I believe, not eight. It's been nice to be a Wasatch fan over the last couple decades, but Delta looks VERY good for the next 5-6 years, at least. Look for them to be Utah's best team regardless of class next year if they keep working this offseason. The future looks bright Delta. Uintah has a lot of good young wrestlers too.

EnE Smith playing big to get his second. Props man. Same with all the W boys. To bad we had two guys meet at 71 or else the P fam. would have likely named another Champ to list. Next year, no worries

Wow! Tradition, that's a lot of championships! Coutney, we miss you!

Wasatch recieved over 50 points from 2 wrestlers that placed 1st and 2nd in state at 5A last year. Both took state this year for Wasatch and one of the 5A wrestlers cost a Wasatch kid a state title. Without their help this year Wasatch would be third. Say what you will it gives them an advantage fair or not.

Uintah has 23 Wrestling titles not 22.

Delta- 26 State Championships*
Uintah- 22 State Championships
Wasatch- 18 State Championships


* Known to be a whiner, remind everyone of the past and fight among themselves

Most of the State Championships was in 2A with why Wasatch and Uintah were 3A

Meaning of whiner. What does whiner mean? whiner synonyms, whiner antonyms. Information about whiner?

Delta has all the peices in place. Lets see if they step up or remind everyone about the past again??????????

Again, Wasatch has also lost two kids that placed in 5A this year and a two-time 1A champ that would very likely have won 140 in 3A this year if he'd been through the Wasatch program, probably even as is. It goes both ways. This is just whining, poor sportsmanship, and worst of all, jealousy and bitterness towards a team who's been pounding you for nearly two decades.

hey 5A, want some cheese with that wine?

Actually, most of the championships Delta won in the 2A were while Wasatch was still there. Wasatch had horrible teams when they moved into the 3A! Shortly after is when they came on strong with the Sanderson boys

at the time they won 2a championships they were 2a size so good argument there. Without they sanderson family wasatch would be mediocre and not have as many championships. and just so you know, you sounded very unintelligent in your post with all your asterisk and synonym stuff.

To 5A Help:

That Wasatch boy at 171 had just as much right to that state title as the other boys in that weight class and division. It wasn't Shafer's fault that it happened to be his own team mate he had to wrestle in the finals. He wrestled tough and earned his 2X state championship title.
Your post might as well of said that every champion took someone elses title away. Give me a break already with the jealousy and crying.
There were not any comments or crying when Shafer won the Rocky Mountain Dual, or his 4th Region Title this year.
Have a little class people.

Why would wrestle fan say that delta fights among themselves. I am from delta and i have no clue what he is talking about, as far as i know everybody gets along fine with everybody. Delta has all the peices in place to be dominante in wresteling for along time, and the best part about it is that all the kids are FROM DELTA.

I am a nuetral person on this story, and it sounds like you are the ones with no class. The delta fans are simply stated what they feel goes on at wasatch and you guys are firing back like there really is something going on, and it bothers you other people know about it. I was up at the wrestles this weekend and i heard numerous people talking about the move in's for wasatch not just delta people.
