I saw it at the theaters. Great movie!! Not strictly about wrestling. Quite a few F-bombs make this a rated R flick. Good wrestling back story.

Yes there were lots of things we could have done better. Next year we will have more refs. There will be youth wrestling taking place in the Large Gym on two mats while the older kids will wrestle in the small gym on two mats.

The story of JV State. Years ago I constantly asked coaches about putting on a JV State tournament. I got no real responses as far as anyone saying that they would put it on. Keith Smith sent me an email and told me to go for it since I kept asking for it. I thought it would give those guys that are just not there yet something to shoot for at the end of the season. I picked the weekend with State Duals because that is the least busiest weekend of the season (check the master schedule) and also because we wrestle the weekend after and are not able to host it then. I figured this date would be best for the other 70 teams not at the state duals. Are some of the top JV wrestlers missing out because of this?? Yes but the majority of JV wrestlers are not and these are the kids we are trying to reach. Eventually I will be attending state duals and then someone else can take on JV State. Maybe the KYWCA would like to make it something of theirs eventually. Any other questions?

Still waiting on regions 5, 6, 7, and 8 to turn in their results. This event was cancelled last year. We are expecting a great turnout this year with lots of young wrestlers ready to compete for a JV State title. A flier is attached. Any questions get back at me.

www.matstats.com is what I use. I pay yearly but I like it.

I met Dan back in 98 when we played football at WKU together. He was always an awesome guy. I would give him rides back to Louisville during the weekends and we had the same classes together as we both were studying to become Physical Education teachers. Last year I learned that Oldham County was overstaffing some teachers so I jumped at the chance to get Dan over here at Moore to coach our middle school team. He did a great job with us last year and then the opportunity came by for him to get a job teaching and coaching at his alma mater PRP. He was worried that I would be upset but I assured him that I wasn't and that all of us coaches hold a special place in our hearts for going back to our schools. We were all very happy for him because he had been wanting to get over to his home (PRP) for awhile and now he finally got the chance to both teach full time and coach the sport he loved there. Very sad to hear the news last Sunday. A teacher and coach reaches the lives of so so many. So does a great person and Dan definitely was. Moore will most definitely honor Dan Wilkerson with a moment of silence. and Dan....... You still owe me that Browns hat you borrowed back at WKU.

We have room for more teams at the annual Horsepower Invitational. 2 pools of teams will compete. You will get 5 matches and get out at a good time. Would love to have some new blood. Attached is a flier. Get back with me asap if you want to attend.

I have received an incredible amount of emails and interest from around the state. This looks like its going to be a really great day of wrestling. We hope you join us.

Freestyle participants = 63 Folkstyle participants = 121 Great numbers for a first year tourney. Thank you to those that attended the Horsepower Spring Tournament. Overall I think it went pretty well. I would like extend a thank you to the Cobra Wrestling Club who helped run the freestyle tournament. You guys were a huge help. Also thanks to Keith Smith for all of his help signing up more members and finding card numbers. Thanks to Coach Founder of Central for helping host and presenting us with this opportunity to run this tournament. Thanks to Calieb Ray's mother for being our paramedic. Thank you to my parents and Audra Hatchell, Jay Hall, Dana Taylor, and Mrs. Carter. I'm sure there are several people I am leaving out. I was running around the whole time crazy so I didn't get to thank a lot of people in person or even meet some of these people that were helping us. If I did not mention you I apoligize. If you have any constructive criticism it is appreciated. Hope to see you at Central for the State tournament on May 14th and 15th.
