    Ranger Rankings - State Tournament

    Krebs and Skaggs are good but ranked above Sheffer. Can't see that happening.

    So what is next?

    I was told by your head coach the amount you made the year you hosted and I know it's way more than any other team has ever come close to making. Enough to fund a team for several years. I don't understand how much is needed to run a youth program. In our club the kids paid their own entry fees for every tournament except our own. We didn't charge gate fees but of course had a concession stand. Each kid was also required to pay a club fee of about $50.00 that covered coach's insurance(before USA Wrestling became involved), helped buy singlets and also covered expenses for kids who couldn't pay. We did not receive a dime from the school system, we raised all of our money by hosting tournaments and picking up trash on the roadways. It is very hard and takes a lot of time and patience to get parents on board but it is done in every program around the state if they want to have Youth teams.

    JCB, I am no longer actively involved in Youth but feel like your concerns should be passed along to the current President. I think your 1st two suggestions definitely need to be explored. Don't have a clue about the last.

    The Martin household will add $ 100.00. Where do I send the check.

    So what is next?

    When the Youth Assoc. was started I emailed every High School coach in the state asking for the names and #'s of their youth coach. NOT ONE coach returned an email. Before the 1st Youth state tourney I had gathered a list of youth coaches from every person I could find. Those that I had not heard from I personally called to make sure they had the info needed to sign up. I recall only talking to 2 or 3 of all the coaches I called. Ranger is right, we shouldn't have to spend all our spare hours informing the uninformed when they have every available resource they need at their disposal.

    Ranger, I have sent into this forum on several occasions the bylaws from the Youth organization which were also passed along to Kyle Goldsmith but they are MIA. Can you resurrect them and respost? Mlee is exactly right, as Youth parents move to Middle the same issues are rehatched that were dealt with years ago. The biggest mistake I made when writing the bylaws was having a new President every two years, too short in my opinion now to bridge the gap of parent/coaches moving from one level to the next. Ranger help the Youth coaches out here and find those bylaws. The focus from day one was always growth and numbers, nothing new there. The growth of middle school wrestling obviously stems from youth wrestling.

    That's terrible for Mason Smith, very tough kid and in my opinion best kid in the state at 98. We've all been caught and we can all get beat on any given day.

    Middle school state duels

    So dodging competition isn't a justifiable reason. Thanks for clarifying that. Ranger what are your suggestions on how to get the better teams to show up?

    Middle school state duels

    So, you don't think some of the better teams decide to be no shows so they don't see a competitor until state? Or is getting hurt, don't like the long drive, spend the gas money just excuses for again dodging an opponent. Qualifying for state duals should be considered an honor and an honor worth fulfilling. I would think a team not showing up should be banned the following year from being able to attend. If not then it's just another tournament.

    Who was there? I hope the Bearcats came through without any injuries.
  14. But then little goo wouldn't be the true state champ of 65lbs.
  15. You do realize that having rigid/set age/weight brackets some brackets could have over 64 kids? Pretty dificult to wrestle a 64 man bracket in 3 hours.
