  1. Slaughter me if u must for putting this out there but can we present the idea of canceling youth regionals to have state for middle school next Saturday and still have youth state the weekend after they already automatically qualify for state they'd just have a easier pass Into it but it beats the hell out if no ms state at all! Or having it close to march which I pray will not be a option

    M.S. State Tournament last season!

    i dont know,I was a young coach and the head coach has way more experienced on the mats and I learned alot with him as he showed me the ropes,BUT he was worse then I was on the mats controlling his self,and alot more, he even carried that manual around reading it to the refs as theyd take points from us for it is it really based on young coaches? its kinda hard to decide,I didnt see all these things happen in the hs tournament then or after maybe its just the learning base kinda like you have to be hit hard before it gets easy
  6. I dont really like looking into the past,but it was my 1st time coaching at the kentucky middle school state tournaments but,I was curious if what I saw is what happens every year at the state tournament. I was all over the place and everywhere I went their was some things that kept me in shock Parents wanting to fight coaches and referees Coaches going insane on the mat after their kid loses One or 2 refs in particular losing his patience with kids so bad he even starts taking off points on every kid and every team so far as in doing the same when the kid has an emotional moment and cheers for his victory,I could remember that one that took points away from our team just for RESPECTIVELY asking a question I'd like to keep going but that want help the situation,but what could we do better this year to make sure this isnt UFC FIGHT! it was put on VERY WELL AND RAN VERY WELL,I'm not for that forfeit and 5match rule i.g. flipping a coin YOUR THE WINNER option not competitive but also not in my control I hope this upcoming season is a new age and a new beginning

    Central H.S.-STATE TOURNAMENT

    Needs to be ran way better then what they did this year,there WAS NO REASON we shouldve been there from 8:00 thats when weigh ins started alll the way to nearly 5:00 with still not all the mats ,not being used. I appreciate Sambo Joe bringing his sport and his students to louisville to compete with us knowing that it would be an overly tough match up for any of his guys being that alot of the wrestlers who showed up were DECENT IN GRECO ROMAN BUT he spent way too long talking about nothing I hate to say up there in the meeting with everybody,its like this if your bold enough or brave maybe to try a sport the first day without knowing anything about it,you have to expect that it may not turn out the best for you ON THE OTHER HAND,anyone can teach or show you anything the night before or the day of,WILL A KID REMEMBER IT......high percentage says no!!! It was great to see such a large interest in the Greco and Freestyle matches,when folkstyle came around thats when the slacking truely began.... There were times when the table would stop working regardless of what they were doing,they stopped and took pauses while 3 mats werent being used with table runners AND REFS were there There were mistakes being made who was doing what styles on paper so you could be called up to a freestyle match when you have never even done it before.....get beat really fast teaching you nothing! then you may of signed up for folk and they didnt even write you down,you had been sitting there for 7hours straight and now they are givin g the run around about you not wrestling as well as they did when it was time to pick up medals EXHIBITIONS are matches that shouldnt be an obligation till matches that were paid for at registration were set or atleast done,everytime we looked up someone was challenging another kid and walking to the table and then they were allowed to wrestle right away,in all fairness im for that,that is what you call someone who came to work that day,if you can walk up bravely and be like hey man can we wrestle to learn alittle bit about yourself,regardless of weight,status or whatever,its comending in my book,but it shouldnt be a priority till the end of the tournament or somewhat in the middle had they stuck to the original plan they called out this mat folk,that one freestyle,greco and all sambo will be here,it probably wouldnt of been such a big inconvience to come to that day Thank You Coach Founder and Central for hosting this tournament and taking the time out of your day to do this,but whoever was runnign the tables over there was VERY UNORGANIZED.... as worst as "someones dad telling someone else's son,he wanted him to wrestle his son lol a time and place for this and that situation didnt turn out good AT all!!!

    Central H.S.-STATE TOURNAMENT

    now that youve mentioned it,I've set up things and so have others is anyone using them NOOOOOOOO and sorry I've been to many different kindve tournaments not just wrestling and when you sit there in your seat for 7 hours or hell even 4 to make it shorter for you it puts a wear on your body,why even compete by then,soooo lets say instead the kid gets out there and keeps warming up or roughousing around till he match comes up,also another bad thing,wasting energy If your not used to constructive criticism this sport WILL NOT WORK OUT FOR YOU!!! this post wasnt a stab against the hosts of the tournament or the the tournament in general because its what the kids needed,its just to better it next time so its convient for everybody

    A Long Time Coming........

    Everyone I'm a proud guy to sit back and watch something happen I've never been able to watch before. I've been wrestling since ONLY my freshmen year in 2002 at Central H.S. where we werent much of anything,barely any singlets,warm ups shoes or anything this was the year of Phil Baker,lol great guy and tough hvwt... Today Central has become a stronger program with wrestlers in the finals of ALMOST all the tournaments and even a recent runner up 2years ago at 140 Also I got to share a moment with my own eyes watching a fine season and year by trinity high school whom may be a private school here in louisville,but they are a Louisville Team this means in 6years their hasnt been a louisville team at Number 1 and win The title,I'm proud to be a wrestler from the area,its almost our own history as a city we can share with the county schools nearly always taking it. Last but not least a fine gentlemen and friend and partner in the room,Justin Davis has made a mark for our school with their being not a state champion since 2002 being Derek Sawyer who did respectively make it to the finals in 2003 falling short to a woodford wrestler in the end. Justin was also the 2nd State MOW EVER at eastern the last was in 1978....It was nice seeing all of these historic events happen this weekend,please feel free to be proud with me

    Thoughts from Middle School Tourney

    Their was a huge lecture in the meeting at state about how ashamed the guy who was hosting the tournament was and how we are setting an example for the kids,parents and future wrestlers I ask this....... How is a ref able to take team points away when a coach is simply asking about if his wrestler had a fair takedown scored,when yet refs DO MAKE MISTAKES,and so does the scorekeepers and table workers....and this was pretty much one ref who also thought it was important for taking a team point away from a young wrestler who was just cheering he made it to the finals,NOT COOL!!! In one match I had to run out on the mat because one kid didnt know he had a KIMOURA LOCK that looked like a headlock with not the arm but his elbow's pointing downward closed in like he was flexing,the ref waved me away till my kid screamed and popped his arm out of place!!!!!!! next!!! How are we proving that this sport is a good idea or competitive to take on when we have to flip a coin because of the 5match rule???? Maybe in a regular tournament that MIGHT BE a good idea but NOT STATE.... The only things I dont agree about is parents attacking coaches or refs or coaches attacking parents or refs,or coaches demeaning their kids in front of everyone but other than that,middle school state can use a few minor fixtures

    Most improved M.S. Wrestling team

    For starters the murton brothers were from A GOOD TEAM IN UM......OHIO,they came late in their high school years to lawerence county,had they been in woodford county high school then im pretty sure you'd think it was because woodford had a good team and the forum is MOST IMPROVED TEAM,those choices are definetly well deserved As Crosby who went from no guys in the finals for years,to this year when Coach Jackson took over having 3 or 4 in the semi state finals That shows me when a team is improving,not even that their coach is improving either,but the team is learning,individual doesnt have anything to do with it,when they are helping build each other in the room,thats how the team is built and improved
  19. I know with me missing the meeting that was ran about this subject really puts me in no bearing to even ask or debate the subject,lol BUT Why are we doing back to back middle school duals??? Is it not better to run it as an individual tournament since thats what the sport is all about. We had a team this year that maybe had 2-3 guys in every weight class almost,so that means the 2nd and 3rd string doesnt wrestle till the end of the year because they lose in wrestle off's,that situation doesnt keep kids interested in the sport,nor does it allow them to gain any experience,it was like A STATE DUALS ALL YEAR!!!

    Most improved M.S. Wrestling team

    DEFINETLY ELKHORN GUYS!!!! They had a really athletic team this year,all the kids were built up like my theory believed to be true stocky football players,and they all knew moves too,lopez sure did become a shocker at state,and he finished strong against the JC kid,noone I saw all year could hold up to him too much North Oldham Mustangs From one trophy last year to 5 trophies this year,was a tough and strong team this year,really tough room too I also thought Fern Creek and South Oldham were strong this year too

    Who most influenced me to wrestle.

    since I was little in elementary I always use to watch WCW and WWF at the time the biggest things when I was little I always wrestled my little cousins and anyone and everyone and even the bullies in school because I was always smaller than the other kids I convinced myself one day I'd be a Pro Wrestler for the scripted wrestling WWF,in 9th grade I went to Central and my Navy JROTC instructor convinced me to come in and after doing piledrivers and powerbombs like rampage lol,I learned and although had a hard head I became a man through wrestling, I then went to eastern and placed twice in the state tournament and even wrestled at two colleges,never even won a state title either,which I now enjoy and compete in mixed martial arts Dang what would I be today without that singlet and headgear? :?

    Everybody its Official

    The sport that was refused and denied its respect, the sport that was only known for tight spandex and grabbing on one another while all sweaty,has began to dominate something called MMA... It's truely amazing how MMA is beginning to show the greatest athletes in the world and their potential to dominate this sport....In figure a wrestler cant go into a MMA fight and just plan on wrestling,because you have the best stand up fighters in the cage or ring with you or maybe the best grappler on the ground,BUT FINALLY WRESTLING,lthough is aired on ESPN every year for the NCAA tournament and even those satellite channels for big dual matches with Big 10 schools,wrestlers are making the mark and people are finally saying DAMN,teach me to wrestle!!! You have to admit everybody it makes you feel really good inside..There are alot of wrestlers here in Kentucky that has actually even started MMA e.g. Robbie Browning(Bourbon County 04) Derek Sawyer(Eastern 03) and more!!
  23. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Open Tournament in Tom Sawyer park,the basketball gym Saturday Weigh ins and registration is 9-11 Begins @ 12 Many talented grapplers and even wrestlers will be there Anyone who wants 2 come even just to warm up,let me know I need some drill partners

    A good tournament for wrestlers...

    LOL.......Unless there are other E.P. Tom Saywer parks around,but this one is in Louisville,KY(Jefferson County) if you havent heard of it Right near Springhurst Blvd The best of grappling is found at this tournament,leads to good Greco Roman skills
