For all of you that know me, My wife gave birth to our second child over the weekend, a son. Jaxon Bruce Sedoris was born July 5th at 9:23 AM. 7 lbs 7oz., 20 1/2 inches long. Right now he looks as if he'll dominate the lightweights, but he may put on a few pounds by the time he's out of school. :-D He and his big sister (Marissa) hope to become Kentucky's first brother/sister state champs!...(Hey a dad can dream, can't he? :-D)

Jacketcoach asked if I would take a stab at Region 4. This is what I came up with. Please note this is not the region I am most associated with, I tried my best to fill in as much as I could. Enjoy!

Most of these are predictions on the weights. BTW, Nguyen finished 3rd at 103 behind Badgett and Huffine.

Where will he go to High School? Danger, try to get him to come to PRP.

Will someone please applaud Skyoneer. He can't spell a single word correctly, but managed to put these schools in alphabetical order.

Here is my best shot for PRP right now. 103: Travis Mulloy or Dylan Hamilton 112: Jared Colston 119: Anthony Wood 125: Wes Lewis 130: Alex Hacker 135: Daniel Sauer 140: Camryn Fields 145: Mark Childers or Lamont Calloway 152: Dusty Stengel 160: Dakoda Choate 171: NajJah Savery or William Northington 189: William Northington or NajJah Savery 215: Cody Jaggers 285: David Cowen

I think Dusty Stengel was wearing white tights at state :-D. You could ask him.

A win is a win, even if it is ugly. Especially at the State Tournament. Congrats DC, you put me there and you got me one.

Yeah and it wouldn't help you any if you keep wearing the "Man Thong Singlet" and Long Johns!

10 champs for 84 points

Sorry it was 10 champs for 84 points. Elam 7 Parks 3 Johnson 10 Peace 12 Courtney 9 Choate 2 Ervin 13 Reid 14 Jones 8 Bailey 6

I picked 10 out of 14 state champs. Look at my picks on the State Champ Picks sticky. 10 champs for 87 points. I don't know if thats enough to win, but I sure would like to win the steak dinner. :-D

Yes. Back in 2001, Steven Murray of Waggener was a fifth place alternate from the old Region 3. He took the place of Brian Jurich of Ballard in the State Tournamnent. Steven made it to the semi-finals and went home with a 6th place finish.

Seeding will be done Thursday evening. I will post seeds and bracket draws that night.

I know I've holding back on these, but this is the best time to put them out. Now that the regular season is over, everyone is essentially tied for first. That's why every weight class and team rankings are in alphabetical order. If there is a blank line, either that team doesn't have that weight class filled or I do not have their name. Have fun with these and throw some predictions out. Good Luck to everyone at Regions and State and have a safe and healthy final 2 weeks of the season.

So in weight classes that do not have 8 wrestlers, there will be bye's of course. My question is, why do all the 1 seeds get bye's. Are they not drawn in or do the coaches seed all wrestlers and the "8 seed" is a bye?

Bobby hasn' t beat Bebop head to head, doesn't have a better record, hasn't beat anybody worth mentioning and isn't a returning region champ or runner-up. Bebop has (a better record and beat people worth mentioning) and is (returning region runner-up (285)). Bebop will get a 1 or 2, Bobby will get a 3. End of story. Raeshaun will be at 135. Nick lost by dec. to Cosgrove in December.
