I stepped down July 1 from my head coaching duties at North Oldham HS to take a job as assistant Principal of the New Haven School in Nelson County. It was a great six year, and am pleased to have Chris Shofner take my place as head coach. Coach Shofner will push the Mustangs onto to some awesome years. To everyone who is trying to get a hold of me here, please contact him. Thank you, Rob Fulk

Yes it is always the weekend before regionals.

And my hope is we can add more of these smaller schools. 1A, 2A, 3A schools could really benefit from a wrestling program. If we sell it from the angle that you don't have to be a massive school to compete, we can build these smaller schools. This is something I think the KWCA can do, and I mean actually do if the coaches are willing to look outside their own programs and help build more programs by selling it to the administrations of these schools. I know that I, and a group of other coaches have aggressively pushed this in other school districts and will continue to do so. If we can get more coaches to take up this banner and at least go to neighboring schools, or even schools in their district and encourage this growth, 100 teams is not unresonable and could be achieved in a few years. the 5A and 6A schools will make their own decisions without outside influence IMHO... look at Male and Highlands, or Lexington Catholic. Instead of worrying what kind of team Male 'could' put togather, let's instead keep promoting wrestling at these smaller schools, especially in the Western KY region. Jefferson Co, Hardin, Oldham, and Northern KY have the bulk of the programs. Let's spread the wealth, and as coaches let's do what we can to encourage this growth. I know the 4 proposals I have put forth to the KHSAA won't be considered, they never seem to be at least. However, I do truly hope they look at these measures and start asking some questions: - how do we grow the sport among the smaller schools - how do we grow the sport in western ky - how do we grow more officials - what role can the KWCA play in this - how do we continue to grow the sport statewide The KHSAA does not care how we compete or 'stack up' nationally, so let's get off that idea and focus on building more programs. It's a simple idea= more programs = more participants = more future coaches = better wrestling in KY in the long run. This is what we've been doing for a few years, I just think let's keep the ball moving forward with some real speed and effort. Your generations state tournament had what, 30-40 teams total in the state? Now we're double it. Let's triple it. By the time we have some serious numbers 100, 120, 130 programs, then we realistically look at splitting the pool. Or maybe the KHSAA will take my proposal, but I doubt it.

Under my proposal it would be up to the state and member school togather. In a nutshell one division is 6A and 5A, the next division is 1A, 2A with 3A and 4A being determined in a joint decision by the state and member school.

As a coach and fan of this sport, I hope they don't, or if they do they at least use it as a talking point for some the growth of our sport over the next couple of years. Ultimately, I am tired of armchair debate between coaches at state and then doing nothing about it. This is not the only proposal I have submitted. I have also submitted proposals for: - Changing the food policies/ vending at the state tournament - an option to go back to a 16 man bracket at state - 2 differant redistricting plans I got fed up this year when we had our coaches meeting and NOTHING that we had spoke of over the last year was changed. Not to mention the KWCA still was not a viable entity for change in the state. So I figured why COMPLAIN when I could do something about it.

We'll see what the KHSAA has to say. I've submitted a proposal to split intoo two divisions. My AD backed it, and so did the surrounding AD's. We'll see.

Oh no, didnt mean to point it out to be rude, it's just funny i've coached the kid 6 yrs and every tourney and every time he goes to state, we enter him as Dan Thomson, but for some reason the tourney managers always thinks its a typo and corrects it to Thompson. Just funny is all, they of course, did the same thing with his brother Jeff. Every year they've qualified i've corrected it at regionals, then someone changes it at state, and when I check in for our tickets, I have them change it back. It's always been something i've laughed about.

Thomson. Not Thompson. For six years it always manages to somehow get put done wrong on the state brackets. Every year i've had to go to the head table and correct it first day.

North practiced. Pretty sure South and OC did too.

loufan- head to head records. The coaches all approved the seeds. Win/ loss records are great, but head to head is what matters. In the absence of head to head, common opponants, in the absence of that records and past performance. We are a go for tommorow.

First list is the # of kids per class, second are the seeds. Should be a great day of wrestling.
