    Well, first of all, JCPS being closed on Friday has no effect on Bullitt East.  We're not part of JCPS schools since we're in Bullitt County, lol.  Second, we'll be at the Trojan Saturday.  It's generally up to each schools AD/Principal and since our AD and Principal are big advocates of athletics, we generally go on as planned.

    ? Doesn't hardly seem fair to the kid who won his 1st wrestle-off or someone just returning from a injury if they don't qualify for regions because they don't have the matches/weigh-ins. I guess you coaches will have to start weighing guys in even if they don't compete.

    Yeah, that's what I do.  I have my wrestlers weigh-in and I've even let some of them go out and take forfeits as well to help with the 4 matches/weigh-ins.

    It was JV quad with PRP, Corydon Central, Holy Cross and Bullitt East.  I don't know about the other duals, but BE was 3-0.  PRP had some pretty good looking young wrestlers as well.

    Last year, our football coach was hesitant to have his kids wrestle.  I had 1 football player on the roster.  That kid went from being a part-time starter on the varsity last year to the team's leading tackler this year.  Needless to say, things have changed.  The football coach came to one of our practices, liked what he saw and asked me to come down to the locker room for a football weight lifting and talk to the kids to encourage them to wrestle.  He also encouraged the kids to wrestle.  In fact, he made a deal with the football players where he is paying for the singlets out of the football account for the 1st 20 football players who signed up to wrestle.  I had 10 football players come out yesterday and I'm expecting about 5 or 6 more today.  That puts our roster total up to 50 wrestlers now.  I used some internet articles I found to emphasize the point of how wrestling helps football players become better.  There were quotes from college and pro football coaches on the subject and also a huge list of current and former NFL players who were state champion high school wrestlers.  It definitely helped my case.

    Indiana has their individual state tournament at Conseco Field house and it is a fantastic atmosphere so I think the Yum center wouldnt detract from the atmosphere at all.

    It's different in Indiana.  There's a lot more interest in wrestling therefore you have a lot more fans to draw from.  Other differences between Indiana and Kentucky are the Indiana state tournament is 1 day not 3 days.  In Indiana it's a 16 man bracket not a 32 man bracket and if you lose your 1st match at state in Indiana, your done.  There is no wrestle back for you.  That's partly why they can have it in 1 day.  Try moving the Indiana state tournament to 3 days and a 32 man bracket and I guarantee you Conseco Fieldhouse wouldn't be nearly as packed for anything but the finals and that's in a state with over 350 high schools that have wrestling and numerous middle school programs (more middle school programs than Kentucky has high school programs)

    Guys, I do appreciate the help.  At this point, any info helps a great deal.  Please keep posting on possible middle tournaments.

    ManBearPig, as far as BC is concerned, I spoke with Coach / Mr. Taylor.  I even sent an e-mail to the AD, Mr. Rogers.  I've had little success with either.  Both were concerned with the numbers in the program this year.  I've had more success trying to set something up with North Bullitt.

    BC isnt a middle school so i dont think hes gonna try there

    Yeah, I'm having a hard enough time trying to set something up with their high school team.  If anybody knows of any tournaments for middle school kids that are within an hour or so of Louisville, please let me know.  I have about 10-12 middle school kids and don't want to just have them wrestle JV on the high school level.  I would like to have a few tournaments and matches for them against their own age group.

    It's with a heavy heart that announce the passing of Billy Cahill.  Billy wrestled at Doss High School.  He graduated in 2008.  His senior year he was the Region 3 champion @ 140 lbs.  Billy was an outstanding wrestler, but more importantly, an even better young man.  As a coach, nobody could ask for a better person to coach on or off the mat.  Billy always gave 100% effort.  You always knew each time that he stepped on the mat, you were going to get everything he had.  He will be greatly missed.  Please join me in offering prayers and condolences to the Cahill family.
