Harrison, Bourbon, and Montgomery counties are in Region 8. They were left off the spread sheet. Pendleton County boarders Harrison County as well.

NAIA Championships are happening today and tomorrow. Show some support for all the Kentucky schools represented.

It is very sad to see that Austin's dad has to live vicariously thru his son. I can imagine the embarrassment Austin must feel every time his dad goes off the deep edge. The accomplishments Austin has are his own. Yes, his dad did train him, but the accomplishments are Austin's alone and Dad needs to realize that. He obviously will attack my comment, but Dad needs to let go. No one one here doubts that Austin is a great wrestler. No one has ever said anything differently. Try being low-key, Dad. Quit attacking everyone on here. We all want our kids to do well.

The Kentucky teams came home with 4 individual champions 125 - Lee from the University of the Cumberlands 133 - Sinkovics from the University of the Cumberlands 149 - Tessari from Lindsey Wilson 184 - Sharon from Campbellsville There were several others from the KY Colleges that earned AA Status too.

Where can we find the brackets for the state tournament? They aren't on the KHSAA anywhere that I see.

This is the first time in 12 years not being at the State Wrestling Tournament. It's a really sad feeling, but I could be more proud of the men my sons have become due to wrestling. There is life after wrestling, but it stays in your heart! Surely we will have grandsons to go watch in the future!

It is usually the same price. The only thing ordering them early is that you can go to the will-call window and pick them up. It keeps you from having to stand in line at regular ticket window.

When we were at the Dungeon in Frankfort the semi-finals were always on Saturday morning and that gives time for the boys to get their minds ready.

We are just getting into the heart of the season. As they wrestle more matches the rankings will look different later in the season. Don't take the rankings to heart. They are for fun and prompt discussion.

Congratulations to Mason and his family!

Several of those boys who were 8th graders are now heading off to wrestle in college and the others will follow!

Nature Boy, what I meant was that you had only experienced the state tournament in KENTUCKY at Alltech. Geeze, get some hormones and calm yourself down!

There was always a packed house at the Civic Center(Dungeon). It was full of life and it didn't matter it you had nationally ranked kids wrestling or not. Everyone picked some one and cheered for them. I have to say one of the most exciting matches wrestled there was when Travis Sullivan lost the finals his senior year. That place went wild. Nature Boy only has Alltech to compare state tournaments with. There has to be some way to make finals as special as they use to be. I don't think they have a spotlight to use at Alltech at all. Maybe someone can remember from the first year at the Horse Park if they tired to use one or not.

We use to have this at the Dungeon in Frankfort. I miss that place!

I'm not quite sure what you wanted Landon to accomplish this year. He reached the ultimate goal in Kentucky wrestling...BEING A STATE CHAMPION. Also, being the caliber football player he is has been a great asset to his wrestling.

Ok grasshopper, don't get yourself into a wad. I wasn't being hostile. You just took it that way. I stated in the post that it was my opinion and it is just that, my opinion. I was just pointing out that Union was the best team there Saturday. I have been around this sport for a long while. Union is always ready this time of year. Their record proves it.

North Oldham would have to be crazy to think they would beat Union. Yes they have some good wrestlers, but they definitely don't have the caliber wrestlers that Union has. In my opinion , NO's wrestlers are out of shape too. Their coach constantly has to run to the scorers table to question a call or the score so his boys can get a breather. I have witnessed this on several occasions when watching NO wrestle. Union wasn't the better team there...they were the best team that day. Go ahead and bash away, but this is my opinion.

I know it is three weeks away, but can someone post where all the regional tournaments will be held this year?

Odds are he is a god kid who doesn't worry about rankings. Props for having compassion!

Amen! I miss the discussions about the wrestlers that were on here the mid 2000's.

Landon is still wrestling. He just had to wait until after the Army game to participate. Landon is an awesome young man. He has a very bright future ahead of him!

I feel bad for the teams hosting tournaments when it threatens snow. So many times it is out of the coaches control as to have the tournament or not. It leaves everyone who has been planning and making arrangements for food and drinks along with workers in limbo. It can be a pretty helpless feeling when mother nature throws a curve ball. Everyone repeat....It's not going to snow, It's not going to snow.......
