GOO: question for you: What schools did all of the "no longer exist" schools on your list become? Who is Owensboro's one champion?

For those of you who said it's not a money grab by the powers that be explain why we weigh in at 9 a.m., start wrestling at 10 a.m. but finals do not start until 5 p.m., after placing all 8 wrestlers. It's 100% of money grab, rob from the coaches, force everybody to stay there all day so they can make more money on concessions. Seed the tournaments in the worst way possible, so they can then say "See you ask us to seed it, We did and you're still not happy" This is stupid and ridiculous, with absoulutly no common sense injected to the tournament. It is been made patently clear that they do not give a crap about our sport, they just want to get it over in time for basketball to start next week, where I guarentee no coach will have to pay to enter and there will be food to feed their coaches. Am I bitter, yes our sport deserves so much more it terms of respect.

Forcing any coach past #3 to pay is clearly a money grab by those in charge. Which I could almost live if they would have used some semblance of common sense in seeding the Semi-States. It is clear however, that they couldn’t give two craps about the wrestlers, coaches, or fair and equal competition. Money is their only motivation. Highly disappointed with the powers that be.

The seeding is absolute garbage. Preference given to record over common sense. Multi-time State placers seeded below a State Qualifier. Region runner-up seeded below the 3rd-place finisher, multiple times. One weight class the 1 through 4 place finisher (Region 1) all seeded above the 1 through 4 placers (region 2). Stupid. I agree with seeding, but it feels like they did it in the worst possible way, just to say “see we finally seeded it and you’re still complaining”

That's because unlike some of the coaches in the region. I update our records every week. Why hide, it will all come out in the end. js.

J.T. Adams did not lose to Richmond. That is a misprint.

Now I just have to figure out who to contact to get that changed.

No.

So, will the state reconfigure the regions or just add the 3 Bullitt, St. X, Trinity, and DeSales to another region? Will we still have a 32 man bracket? I know no one knows the answer to these questions right now, just wondering out loud.

I agree with this except for the doing away with the 2 lbs. Instead of doing away with the 2 lbs. let's go back to wrestlers having to make scratch weight one time to qualify for the weight class.

Against. Keep the weight classes as they are. If it is not broken, don't fix it.

Christian County Invitational: December 23rd, 2020 These teams are the teams that attended last year’s tournament or have shown interest in this year’s tournament. Possible 2020 Varsity team: 1. Anderson Co, KY 2. Beech, TN 3. Caldwell Co, KY 4. Calloway Co, KY 5. Cape Central, MO 6. Cheatham Co, TN 7. Christian Co, KY 8. Fort Campbell, KY 9. Hopkinsville, KY 10. John Overton, TN 11. LaVergne, TN 12. McCracken Co, KY 13. Memphis University School, TN 14. Northwest, TN 15. North Hardin, KY 16. Ohio Co, KY 17. Paducah Tilghman, KY 18. Taylor Co, KY 19. Trigg Co, KY 20. Union Co, KY Tournament Schedule: (All Times are Central Standard Time) December 23, 2020 Varsity 6:30-7:00 a.m. Open Scales 7:00-8:00 a.m. Weigh-Ins 9:00- 9:30 a.m. Coaches Meeting 8:00-9:00 a.m. Team Warm-Ups 9:30 a.m. Wrestling begins If interested in getting in our event, please email me at robert.burnham@christian.kyschools.us

You would be able to make it a stand alone event. It would run on a Saturday rather than a Sunday, so no matter where it was loacated parents would have Sunday to recover. Instead of having 2 or 3 champions per weight class you could have one true champion. It should be K to 6th grade. Run it the first week of March like some wanted. You would get wrestlers from all over the State. For those of you who say "we would lose wrestlers to Spring Baseball, we already lose wrestlers to Junior Pro Basketball. Either way we are going to lose wrestlers to some sport, but we would gain many from Western Kentucky. Wrestlers who wrestle in both elementary and middle school would be able to participate in both tournaments, instead of choosing to stop wrestling halfway through middle school regionals. It just makes sense to seperate. The Middle School wouldn't need a huge stadium for its Championships. The biggest thing is the elementary would get their own Saturday to wrestle. Having one true champion would allow each weight class to wrestle on a full mat rather than a 1/4 or 1/2 mat. Of course this jm2c.

So instead of 2,3, or 4 champions per weight class have one. One big bracket, one champion. It will run faster and the Finals can be a big deal. jm2c

But they do it in Tennessee, with a 32 man bracket, so it's not impossible. They have a system that factors in Head to head, Common opponents, previous placers and so on. It could be done, the powers that be just don't want to. js

So let's turn the Louie B. Nunn parkway area into a region, Adding Wayne, and Taylor County. Especially if South Warren starts as soon as it is saying it is. That could bring back Barren County. You could move the Owensboro schools back to Region 1, move the 3 Bullitt County schools to Region 2 and combine the rest of the Region 3 and 4 schools into one region. Either way realignment is going to have to happen. We are definitely fast approaching scenarios where every region will have to be two days.

I noticed a team from Western Kentucky has wrestlers in the tournament and did not bother to compete in the Region tournament. I guess the rules only apply to some not all. js

How about this: this is all just hyperbole, silliness (see the above ridiculous statement above), and does not really matter as neither wrestler will be competing against each other. Now pound for pound both Merritt and Russelburg could be in the discussion, as should Micah Ervin, Thomas Deck, and Spencer Moore. Looking forward to some great matches at Region and State in the coming weeks.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's a lot of wrestling that will have to happen before Christian and Johnson Central meet, if they meet at all. I'm sure Trinity, St. X, Ryle, Woodford, Simon Kenton, etc all, will have something to say about who wins State Duals. Just looking forward to a great day of wrestling.

How about separate State tournaments as well? At one time the MS and youth State tournaments were going to moved to the 2nd week of March. How about we keep MS state at its current date and move youth Region to the first week of March and make Youth State the 2nd week of March. I'll bet you would see an increase in participation. js.

Big School Region 1 finds out who qualifies on Saturday.

The Region 1 qualifier wasn't before Christmas. It has never been before Christimas. It has always been the last week of December, after the 2 pounds has been given. If someone one in Region 1, other than Christian County or Fort Campbell wants to host the Qualifier have at it. One more thing to consider: most of the other teams in Region 1 do not have multiple coaches so, sending teams to multple places tends to be difficult. js

They did not. Fort Campbell or Christian County have hosted it every year since JV State started. We let all of the Region 1 coaches know the date at the Region meeting in September every year.

PABacon: We were at Fort Campbell today for the Region 1 JV State Qualifier and the Fort Campbell girls tournament. More girls competing today, than boys, sorry you missed both, but now at least you won't have to make the choice as you had to compete in the JV qualifier to go to JV State.
