Who all is going? Numbers are extremely low and may be opened up to non qualifiers and middle schoolers.

The venue will be Fern Creek on March 30th. We are gathering info on invitees. There may be a challenge pool open to non-qualifiers in a "morning session to fill out brackets. More details by week's end.

Affirmative

All 3 were at the state tournament. Very lucky and thankful.

Tom Jurich's son wrestled at Ballard. I saw him many times sneak in to watch his son. Can't say the same for his football coach, John L who had a son wrestle at Louisville, Eastern.

Thank you

Hey Matt, thanks for sharing. I cannot find these bylaws from the middle school website link. Is there a better place to look?

The TOC remedied the idea of not keeping team scores as was voted on. So, according to this bylaw is the 2014 state meet not keeping scores and if voted on again this year back with team scores in 2015? Whatever, it's all good.

Because I was unclear that it would happen at all if that piece had changed. I'm on record that I personally am fine with anything that promotes our sport and increases the numbers. I am equally on record that we should not vote on things that we are not going to implement. I am guilty of not being aware of said bylaw. When voted on, I don't recall it being close or much discussion afterwards. Could someone have spoken up then?I should know in a few days if the 3/30 TOC date is on at Fern Creek. Someone else posted earlier the difficulty of holding it at a Catholic school during Holy week.

This could be the best thing for us for UofL moving to the ACC: http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20130222/SPORTS02/302220136/1028/sports/Switch-ACC-could-mean-more-chances-cheer

The KY TOC has been on the KY USA from the beginning. Promoting the event at Alltech was kicked to the curb when the trophies were spotted. In no way it is the intention of a TOC to diminish a state champion. It, as stated before, was an avenue to address some of the inequities your revisions of team scoring was trying to do. Did this year's revision not violate the same bylaw? It is a good idea. Why was it not brought at the meetings when the opportunity was there? As I understand it now, you will be fine with no TEAM scoring at State next year.

At the meeting, we kind of made a "big deal" out of having a Tournament of Champions to address the issues of inequities in team scoring as well as the inequity of elementary age kids wrestling on middle school teams. Your use of that clause has under minded the good intentionsof offering wrestlers an opportunity at a TOC for Kentucky Youth Wrestling. Under minding is a bit strong. Diminished would be more appropriate.

Won't take them long if they get Wirth to buy-in.

This is America and he can say whatever he wants. It is the grammar and spelling that is so, so, so.... someone help me please. I don't want to encourage him.

USA/KY wrestling scheduled that date. Sunday is Easter. The day/date may change to get a proper venue. Stay tuned....

Isn't it The Houchens Industry Girls State Basketball Tournament?

I think enough money is involved that by state law it has to go through a bid process.

I am sure they will be favorites going in and should be.They have a couple studs coming up from River City that will also score them some points. It will be a different challenge for their coaches to keep them from being over confident.

You can bet that with St. X winning it, the boys at Trinity will be raising their game too. They have a solid core of young wrestlers.

I know you said you voted against team scores. That is not the problem. The problem is you voted on something that was decided on a state basis in a regional meeting. Someone should have said this issue was already decided, let's move on to other regional business. Someone put in thought and effort into how to score this. Document it and bring it to a vote in Spring.

Lexington does not deserve our $$$. Take a look at the coverage in the Herald.

Who is taking over at LaRue?

Why have the spring and fall meetings if we are not going to adhere to what was voted on? You n ky coaches can get together all you want and decide it is something to vote on when everyone has a say. This action does nothing to get coaches to attend the spring and fall meetings. Ranger, you once described the youth "elementary" as still the wild west. IMO, you shot the sheriff. Just to be clear, I don't have a problem with team trophies. I have a problem with surprises.
