I returned to my first state tournament this year since I was a participant from '08-'11. It was a great time and here some of my parting thoughts: -Very pleased how quickly and smoothly this tournament was run, the 2 mats added since the Frankfort days really make a huge difference. I do miss being so close to the action in Frankfort, but this is clearly much safer for the wrestlers. -Another Ervin, another state champ. Could you guys stop reproducing and let the rest of the state catch up? -Zane Brown is and will be a stud for years to come. I was very impressed by him nearly winning it all against a tough Sheffer. Anybody know if he'll be sticking around at Male for high school? -Erdman was clearly the best wrestler and 126 and looked dominant, but I did have the same question as many about having to release the hold before going back for more near fall -I felt like the pushout/fleeing the mat rule was used very inconsistently, with Bindner ultimately losing the finals from two close calls while I watched other wrestlers run right out of bounds and nothing. -138 was an awesome weight to watch, lots of talent all around. Leak and Vasquez both wrestled phenomenal tournaments, its too bad only one could take home the gold. -Blanton wrestled the smarter match and deserved the win. Stop whining and basically asking for a kid to win a title solely on an escape and stalling points -What are they feeding Tyler Frankrone? -It was awesome to see the transformation of Fern Creek from 2011 when I graduated to now. Congrats to their coaches and wrestlers on a hard earned state title. On the flip side it was sad for me too see the downturn my own Eastern Eagles have taken the last few years.

Blanton won the match fair and square. He had a couple clear takedowns not awarded, and definitely did more than Andreoni to deserve the win. I would hate to see a kid win a state title with an escape and three stalling points and I doubt the officials were ever gonna let it play out that way.

I agree 100% with KYgrappler a few pages back. This site use to have a lot of useful info. Now I can barely even find info regarding where tournaments are or when they start, or what the results were. I wanted to attend the Jefferson County tournament this past weekend and the location and start time could not be found ANYWHERE on this site, not even under the "MASTER SCHEDULE" list. Mpire has killed this site with his garbage and rambling about his kids who everybody already knows are good. All the good posters have been run off.

Where is this tournament?! geez this site is really down from past years as far useful information goes.

Yes, HILARIOUS. because you still don't get it. That's why it's so HILARIOUS. What's even more HILARIOUS is you naming off all these accomplishments and awards of your kid, when I couldn't give two polished turds about them. Fahy won MOW and neither of your kids did. Now reply to me about all their quick pins and how flawed the MOW selection was for a hundredth time. Yes sir, your rants on this website are HILARIOUS to me.

It is HILARIOUS to me that mpire can't see why neither of us kids were picked for MOW. I mean come on, did you honestly believe all the coaches in KY would pick either of them after all the BS this season. maybe next year man, maybe.

Give me a break! what a crock! And in response to someone above. No, I am not pissed they didn't go to my team. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A TEAM. I'm just a spectator that loves quality high school wrestling. And seeing as this is a discussion forum, I think I'm allowed to display my opinion on the matter. My opinion being that I HAD a lot of respect for Bankemper and the CC coaches which has now diminished greatly. To bench a kid busting his ass all year so you can let a transfer on to wrestle their first tournament at regionals is just wrong, and I never would of thought Bankemper would be the one to do it. Also, to say any team would have let them on is just not true. and for the love of god don't feed me this line of BS about how they had a legitimate reason to move.

Glad to hear that. Even Campbell County knows they wouldn't of won it without the Myers. If Ryle would of let the Myers join, all of these CC folks would be just as pissed as everyone else. I feel for the kids on CC that had their spot taken at the end of the season by the Myers. Pretty messed up thing for a coach to do to a kid that has been busting his butt all season IMO. I always respected the CC program and coaches until I heard of this. I guess a state title is just worth all of that to CC though. Congratulation Camels on your title. You sure did earn it!

Did Bankemper win coach of the year?

Anyone who says adding two probable state champs who will probably pin/tech through the tournament to an already solid team is not going to make much of an impact is DELUSIONAL. Campbell will probably win this years tournament, and the Meyers will be why. It makes me sick that these kids were granted a release. Anyone remember Hardy Hendren? He was a kentucky native who wrestled for KCD. His program got cut when he was a junior, and his family attempted to enroll him at North Oldham so he could continue wrestling. The khsaa DENIED him his release (bear in mind this was also in between seasons) even though his school no longer even offered wrestling. But somehow these kids from out of state get a release to transfer in the middles of the season. That is a disgrace. I don't care what anyone says about it, shame on the campbell coaches. They had one thing in mind when letting those kids on the team, State Championship.

Negative Nancy

This season has been horrible about people not really posting results. I think that plays a role in why we didn't see as many rankings this year. Ranger can't do it on his own people.

Thanks! I needed the JCTC info. Although I am curious as to what Trinity is doing instead.

This is lame. Does that mean they're sending JV? Awesome Can anyone give me info on this tournament? Where? Start Time? Thanks.

Now this is the stuff I love to see on this site. What a match!

Big Ed?!?! try intermatwrestle.com

Does this mean your kids won't be at the Derby City. I was gonna go to this tournament just to see what all the fuss is about.

any full results on this tourney?

I've done this. That's nice but I remember a time when you got on this site sunday mornings and could find FULL results of all the tournaments that weekend. Not just "Larue Won"

Does anyone at all have some full results from meets this weekend? What has happened to this site?

Man, this is seriously sad. I guess I need to start going to meets again to get results.

Eastern also has a new head coach this season.

And the rule would make this illegal now? Do they mean literally kicking the legs, or just when you pull back on the underhooks as your feet are in the crab ride position.

hahaha. I bet Jo sticks you next time. :evil: If he's even at 125 next year

Luke Troxell also placed 3rd at this event.
