I saw one noticeable one from this weekend, at 113 11th ranked Ashur Jones (McCracken) over 2nd ranked Gage Fowler (Christian) 6-4 in sudden victory. Christian won by criteria over McCracken with the dual tied 34-34.

I could be wrong? But I think Lauren Walton was the 1st female to ever Win Dixie Nationals... Not sure? But either way.. Congrats to her and Bryant Been for winning Dixie! Way to represent for KY! My son took 4th, I will take it.. Last time it was a DNP.. So Ky is getting better all across the state! Honestly we all need each other, I root for any KY kid that competes out of state to do well.. That's the only way to get better.. Iron sharpen Iron.. The tougher we are on each other.. The better KY gets..

#KentuckyStrong #300 My son and his teammates compete in Nuway individuals competitions and other AAU. and some that don't do track... Like TOC and flow... Nobody is skeeered of competition... To suggest Ky kids don't go out of state to compete is not a fair statement ...But I agree it is unfortunate we had a NUWAY tournament in Kentucky and we didn't have a team to represent... Maybe next time.. I never heard about this event until now.. It is what it is.. It would have been fun to see how Ky did tho.

Yes I am confused too!

Definitely a bit of bad luck for CJ this season. The kid looked great over the summer. Fortunately, this isn’t the first time in his life that he has faced adversity, and it definitely won’t be the last. Whether or not he is able to return to the mat, he has already learned a lot of the lessons that wrestling has to offer. Sometimes, the better guy doesn’t win. Sometimes, you outwork everyone and it still isn’t enough. Sometimes, life just isn’t fair. Whatcha gonna do? Cry? Stop living? Nah. Keep pushing. Keep grinding. Come out a better man. The sun is going to rise. Tomorrow will happen no matter what. Keep your faith, hold your family close, and everything else will fall in place. Best of luck to everyone this season.

I think you should do some research on Track and Flo and you will see theres alot of KY kids branching out to bigger out of state tournaments with 32 man brackets l for one take my son to as many big tournaments as possible, looking for better competition... to say we are scared of 16 man brackets is Ridiculous

I just didn’t feel like paying $45 for another card (NUWAY) for my wrestler and then purchasing another coaches card cause my USAW card isn’t good enough and then entry fee and then I’m in it for about $150 for one tournament. Especially since I already have to pay all that for a USAW card for my wrestler to compete here in Kentucky.

For the record, I am currently speaking with OHWAY’s Director about the process to get KYWAY going. This is another opportunity, just like USA Wrestling, for our kids and for wrestling to grow in the Commonwealth. At the NUWAY individual state-based tournament, out of 323 wrestlers, only 6....yes, 6 Kentucky wrestlers participated, to my knowledge. Either way, we will grow!

I think KY wrestlers were scared to wrestle there! brackets were bigger than 16 man and we all know we can’t have that!
