Great great event today. Best turnout in the 5 years of the event. Some very good wrestling on the mat with a lot of exciting action. Also a decent turnout online for the track stream. The archive is still available for anyone who wants to go back and watch the matches. And please excuse my poor attempt at broadcasting. Too many irons in the fire on this day to try to be a part time color commentator guy. But I tried. Ha ha. We missed you this year Brandon. Couldn’t get the remote announcing to work, but maybe we can get you here in person next year and we can do a more professional job giving play by play during the matches.

Thanks to Angie Lewis (Casey Cornett’s mom) we will soon have access to a TON (literally) of photos from today’s event. Be patient as she gets them loaded to site we can access.

Unfortunately we’ve had a couple injuries require some replacement wrestlers. Nolan Banfield will replace Cole Thomas Nathan Wright will replace Seth Slayton We have been very lucky over the last 5 years to have minimal issues that resulted in a need to fill a spot at the last second. Huge thanks to these guys who are willing to step up late in the game. Looking forward to a great day of wrestling. I’ve had contact and know there will be at least a couple D1 coaches following along on the stream in addition to the coaches who will be in attendance.

Man. This Greenwell dude is pretty helpful.

Just a few days out from the all star event. Hoping to see a great crowd on Saturday at Scott HS to kick off the 2019-20 season. Wrestling will begin at 1:00 EST. Also spread the work that there will be a track live stream for those unable to make the trip.

Final match day at Madison Central tomorrow morning. Last chance to get some good free, live scored matches in before the season officially kicks off. This week we will be in the wrestling gym in the front of the school and to the right. Hope to see one more good turnout.

We’ve also had some great officials volunteer their time to this event. Can’t have these matches without the guys in stripes and always nice to get some of our best to officiate these high level matches.

Yep. My man Brandon and Ky USA are making it happen.

We have historically struggled with getting the top big guys out for this event primarily due to football. There are a handful of studs who will pull double duty but those are not the norm. I will say I don’t hold it against the kids who are focused on the football field as I know I would probably expect that of my wrestlers during our season.

Final match to be added to the card puts another Trinity wrestler #8 Austin Hedges against #5 Thomas Hoppes of Larue County. This is a weird situation where this is going to be a 126 match but both kids are ranked at 132. GFS: Olivia Messerly v Ashley Courtney 126: #1 Gavin Andreoni v #3 Bryant Beane 170: #4 Seth Slayton v #10 Tristan Brooks 195: #1 Daulton Mayer v #3 Ben Bush 132: #3 S. Grandstaff v #4 Seth Lutes 145: #1 Merritt v #3 Conner 138: #4 J. Grandstaff v #5 Cowan 220: #1 Bussell v #4 Deasel 160: #3 Shackelford v #5 Aldridge 120: #1 Thomas v #3 Thornton 152: #3 Hudgins v #4 Lenhart 106/113: #1 Moore v #2 Meyer 126: #5 Hoppes v #8 Hedges I will post the final bout order tomorrow.

GFS: Olivia Messerly v Ashley Courtney 126: #1 Gavin Andreoni v #3 Bryant Beane 170: #4 Seth Slayton v #10 Tristan Brooks 195: #1 Daulton Mayer v #3 Ben Bush 132: #3 S. Grandstaff v #4 Seth Lutes 145: #1 Merritt v #3 Conner 138: #4 J. Grandstaff v #5 Cowan 220: #1 Bussell v #4 Deasel 160: #3 Shackelford v #5 Aldridge 120: #1 Thomas v #3 Thornton 152: #3 Hudgins v #4 Lenhart 106/113: #1 Moore v #2 Meyer

The lineup is ALMOST set. Two more matches to announce. A 106/113 matchup puts #1 @ 106 Spencer Moore against #2 @ 113 Matthew Meyer. This is our highest ranked match (1 vs 2). These guys finished 2nd and 4th at 106 last season but never faced off. They will in less than 2 weeks. At what should be an interesting 152 weight this season, we have #3 Tyler Hudgins taking on #4 Landon Lenhart. My alma mater Harrison County has been represented at the All Star Classic each year. GOO - be on the lookout for that nice flier tomorrow when I hopefully have the last match lined up. Thanks to a great Kentuckywrestling fan who put a fantastic flier together for us late last week.
