That's why not many of our high school wrestlers become college wrestlers, all of our in-state programs are private schools and very expensive. It actually costs kids more money to wrestle than it does just to go to college. So Courtney has to come up with 14k to be able to wrestle?? Where is the incentive? Unless he is set on wrestling in state, he shouldn't even consider any of the in-state programs. He could go to plenty of D2, D3, NAIA, and maybe even D1 schools and end up paying less.

HOW DOES EVERYBODY FEEL ABOUT LOUISVILLE'S NEW ARENA BEING THE SIGHT FOR THE NCAA'S FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS ONCE ITS DONE?

I really only saw two wrestlers at state that struck me as physical: Justin Davis and Kevin Cooper. Wow Cooper was physical, and only an 8th grader. I'd say he's going to be the meanest wrestler around for the next 4 years. He is constantly banging and snapping the on peoples' heads. He was giving Zarth all he could handle for a while.

I could see Justin Davis making some noise their if he went.

Trinity always sends guys to nationals, as well as ryle, woodford, sheldon clark, henry clay, john hardin, seneca, and wayne county. I'm sure I have missed a few teams, but these are all I could remember from the last few years. We will start to get more national attention the more kids we take, so it would be great if our best wrestlers are at the national tournament. That means you state placers!!! Its not a bad drive, not very expensive, and its a great experience.

Any of the Union County boys going? It would be nice if we could bring some of our best so that we have a good showing this year.

does anyone else feel your lame? win for state titles and tell us how YOU went about doing it.

Does anyone know if and where he is thinking of wrestling in college? As a 3rd year wrestler, its scary to think how good he could get in college. I think he is D1 material, he is so explosive on the mat, not many would be able to hold him down, and he is super dangerous on his feet. I hope he is considering attending senior nationals in Virginia beach, he would turn heads.

hell, i was in missouri and gave him a standing ovation. Whats wrong with everybody? that man did something that few in the nation have ever done, bias or not. Great job Harrison!!!

kinda of rude to criticse somebody's performance at state true. But a senior who is competing in the state tournament should not be worried about the goings on of a website.

he majored goff twice

if u think trinity is not a horse in this race, then u r crazy

this bracket is totally messed up

Warra didn't miss weight, he made the decision to wrestle 119.

if falck comes off of his injury he comes mess up some peoples plans at 25. And i dont see ness makin it at 33

its actually a pretty big place, the only problem is that they dont have many bleachers for seating. But they easily fit the mats on the floor. I personally dont like it even though Hoops is 2 seconds from my house.

Who is going to this tournament

The guy Elliott beat in the consolation semis was Sam Fragoza, not Hernandez. He isn't ranked in NAIA because he just transferred to cal state baptist from fresno state where he placed third at university open nationals and was a freestyle all-american. He was also an nhsca senior national champion in high school, Elliott beat him 13-6...

The Redshirt from OU is Andrew Sartain, who is behind 7th ranked Joey Fio in D1.

thanks for the correction, I posted the results before the brackets came out, so i had to go off what I heard through the grapevine.

The Bradbury/Warra match was exciting. Bradbury cam out on top 3-0. Even with a low score the action never stopped, both wrestlers were constantly on the attack. I hope to see these two meet again in the state finals.

Elliott Martin had his best showing yet this weekend at the Missouri Valley Open. He pinned senior and 2x all american Billy Exline of Missouri Valley who is ranked second in the nation, and won a major decision over Jose Hernandez of Menlo who is ranked 3rd in the nation. He placed 3rd in the tournament winning a 9-3 decision over an Oklahoma University redshirt freshman (not sure of his name).

I could see Holtsclaw sneaking into the semis, Kincer has never impressed me.

Josh Johnson does compete nationally...he was an all-American at NHSCA sophomore and junior nationals, he wrestled at the super 32 this year, and I'm sure their have been others that I don't know about.

Every once in a blue moon, KY will have a few 285's that are technical and fit, but for the most part, this is not the case. Take any top 6 ranked wrestler from 103-189, if these same wrestlers could weight 275 but keep their proportions, they would win state in almost every instance.
