If anyone has a trailer big enough to haul a wrestling mat and will be attending the elementary state tournament this year, please send me a PM if you can help haul a wrestling mat back from state. We may need help hauling 1 or 2 mats from elementary state.

Jake Ilg is at Lindsey Wilson.

Hey Coach, please check your emails. We need your roster asap if you plan on attending CC's tournament this weekend. Pat

Ryle is hosting a dual tournament, and I believe North Oldham has a tournament that day as well. Hopefully the snow holds off enough that these tourneys are not cancelled.

CC is now full on 1/9. Here is the final list of teams: Amelia Campbell County Fern Creek Conner New Richmond, OH Milton, W.V. Summit View Matre Dei, IN North Hardin Elkhorn Woodford County (Pending final confirmation) Montgomery County Thanks to all who responded.

You are in. North Hardin is in as well. 2 more spots left.

Campbell County still has openings for 1/9. Anyone looking for a tournament that date...please let me know through this website. This is a 16 man bracket tournament with teams from Ohio, WV, & In committed. Should be a tough tournament. We will only take 12 teams so we can have room for extras. So far we have 8 in: Amelia Campbell County Fern Creek Conner New Richmond Milton, W.V. Summit View Mater Dei, IN

Campbell County Middle school has a few openings left on this date.

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed watching them as well. He never slows up for a second on the mat!

He wrestles for Walton Verona as of this past Sunday and yes he will be very tough in the future.

I completely agree, Rushell & Brad Cooper are the 2 wrestlers I remember watching and being "wowed" by. I also have to admit that John Fahy too. I remember seeing him as like a 6th grader wrestle and learning stuff from him. Old140, I would have the same exact list...might change the order, but those are the top 5 i've seen.

Courtney wasn't as dominant his senior year as Ruschell or some of those other guys were, but remember he wrestled 152 before his senior year at Super 32 and went back up to wrestle 160 for the season. He looked smaller than normal down state and I think he was more suited for a 152 lber. He still only had 2 "fairly" close matches, 8-3 & 8-0. If he had went 152 for the year he may have been more dominating. You never know. However, look back at his junior year bracket. He had 3 pins & 2 tech falls, 15-0 & 16-0. He beat Kyle Griffith in the semis without breaking a sweat 16-0. Kyle was a very good wrestler. I'm not crucifying you in any way, but Harrison is definitely a top 5 best high school wrestler in the past decade and on my list he'd be #1. What has been accomplished after high school is a no brainer and goes to Ruschell. But in high school Courtney was the man.

Jake Lee will be there.

Campbell County is hosting a middle school invitational on 1/9/2010. Milton W.V. team will be coming back this year, defending state champs in W.V. I believe. If interested please let me know. Attached is a flyer. Thanks, Pat Lee

I think you are 100% right about that. When some of these guys start picking up head coaching jobs throughout the state I think you are going to see Kentucky take off. So here's a question to any of the college coaches I see logging onto this site. What do you need the public to do to show support? Show up at dual meets, attend camps, what else can help? Writing letters?

Cool interview coach. Very inspiring. Maybe you could make Kyle a regular spot on the site for like the "tip of the week" or something.

I'm going with Larue County. They took 7th last year and should be greatly improved with 8 very young returning state qualifiers with a lot of experience. I also think Cooper will improve dramatically this year. They were impressive for a first year program.

Did they have all 4 styles going on at once? All of the USAW tournaments I've been to they have not done this. Splitting the styles into their own session is definitely the way to go.

I'm going to agree with CCMS_SC and go with they are going to allow h.s. coaches coach in the off season. In some capacity whether it's allowing them to coach FS/GR or just coaching at nationals. That would be huge if that got passed.

I was not aware of this either until I was coaching a m.s. kid and he locked hands and then released....I screamed out at him to keep his hands locked, sooo he locked them a second time. The ref blew the whistle and called the 2 locking hands. Big time screw up on a coach's part. The kid ended up being 1 locking hands call away from forfeiting the match.

I think there is. There's a mow at Senior Nationals for sure. I agree with you. He has a tough kid in the finals though. He won Freshman nationals last year and is originally from Great Bridge, Va and moved to Alabama. Don't think I'm a stalker, i just did a google search on this kid and read an article on him.

Holy **IT...he's pinned into the finals now!! Go Caleb! I always knew that kid was gonna be a stud. Good luck in the finals. The kid he pinned in the first period placed 5th in the state of California. Caleb can straight up whoop some butt.

go to www.iswa.com. There are always good freestyle tournaments going on in Indiana this time of year. Cincinnati has a few, but they don't advertise them very well. You can look at www.ohiowrestler.com but doubt you will find one.

pmilf - it's not a qualifier per se. But here is a link to the qualification requirements. http://www.ohiotofc.com/tour/index.php Scroll down near the bottom, and as I read it...any varsity wrestler who has won at least 10 varsity matches in the past year is qualified.
