We have had great feedback and participation so far. We will be taking 2 teams this season with a loaded group of state placers and champs. Here are some athletes who have confirmed their spot on Team Kentucky; Eckman (UC), Thornton (GC), Herron (NH), Lutes (SC), Andreoni (WC), Merritt (CC), Adams (UC), Preston (WC), Carr (UC), Russelburg (UC), TKC (CAM), Boone (LC), McCune (MEA), Stevens (TG), Bush (CT), Smith (SHC), Bussell (CC), Shelton (LC), Watkins (DES) (still waiting on some guys to get back with me).

Woodford County Invitational will be December 27-28.

Now that state is over we have a great list of state placers who I’ve already started contacting to participate for Team Kentucky at the Scholastic Duals at Wabash in Indiana on April 4-6th. Please contact me if you have any questions. Coach Parks

Kids get mentally out of it sometimes because of names and rankings. So I don’t agree with you at all take em to the mat (them not going far anyways). We are talking about 13-18 year olds after all. I mean come on, I know a lot of grown men who psych themselves out from time to time.

I would rather not let my kids see the brackets at all. Just train hard for whoever steps in front of them.

5 is available

Unranked Gavin Andreoni over #5 Ocasio (10-4) and #9 kid from Meade Co. (11-3)

Woodford forfeited to Oldham because we have battled injuries all season and had more injuries occur in the semis against Moore. Wasn’t worth it. We will see them at regionals. Call it what you want but as a coach my athletes well being and health is more important than a dual against Oldham. Missing Yost and Cardwell already hurt, but now with more kids banged up, I had to make the call.

The solution would be to continue with sectionals, but seed all 12 teams that qualify and use the criteria that was sent out to everyone (small school did not do that last night though). All sectionals were supposed to have been completed by Wednesday the 23rd so why is there even supposed to be a dual tonight between those two schools. If they did not complete it before Wednesday the 23rd it would go to criteria which would give the seed possibility to the undefeated Madison Central team. Now they will be unseeded and possibly have Christian County, St. X, Oldham County, Simon Kenton in pool play. Just because a team loses at sectionals does not mean they are not seedable at State Duals in my opinion. Especially when you have some hammer sections and some others that are very soft and weak. Something has to change.

I know Madison is undefeated, Johnson has lost down in TN

Are Johnson Central and Madison Central going to wrestle? If not it goes to criteria correct? Head to head , then win percentage?

Especially if we are using this criteria.
