Check out what's going on as UVA, Va Tech & ODU hit the mats for their first official practices

Staunton, VA resident Christian Pyles took Ryan "Snakes" Blake under his wing this past week for a behind-the-scenes look at what's going on in Charlottesville, Blacksburg, and Norfolk as the regular season gets going this week.  Each coverage is full of candid interviews, great action on the mat and a look at each program.  

October 9th - Christian & Snakes caught the 'Hoos final preseason practice of the fall where the entire team runs to the top of Humpback Mountain just outside of Charlottesville in Rockfish, VA.  Other highlights include Nick Sulzer & Jordan Leen scrapping, interviews with Coach Garland, Coach Leen and former world team member and new assistant coach Keith Gavin.

October 11th - The Flo boys' visit to Norfolk caught some awesome on the mat action and interviews over the weekend.  Returning AA Jack Dechow, top 10 ranked Chris Mecate, 2-time Jr Greco world team member Kevin Beazley, VA native Brandon Jeske and the rest of the Monarchs are poised to continue to climb the ranks and put multiple guys on the podium this March.  Be sure to check out the technique shown by assistant coaches Alex Dolly & Kyle Hutter.  Awesome stuff.

October 13th - On their final stop in the Commonwealth, Christian & Ryan catch the Hokies on the back end of their fall break.  After their top-8 finish in March and with 10 individuals ranked in preseason polls, the Hokies aren't going to be sneaking up on anyone this year and they wouldn't have it any other way.  This coverage is full of hard drilling and live goes.  Veterans Devin Carter, Joey Dance, Zach Epperly, Nick Brascetta and Ty Walz are joined by stud freshmen Solomon Chishko and Zack Zavatsky.
