If they allowed teams who took second to be seeded I think this is how it would be seeded. Union: clear favorite Larue: head to head over Wayne Wayne: High win % John Hardin: win over WV Walton Verona: head to head loss to JH Harrison County: win % Pending a Larue win over JH, JH will be hard to beat if they fill the weight classes.

I believe only the section winners are seeded. So the loser of John Hardin and Larue will not be seeded. So as of now Harrison will be drawn in along with the possibility of JH or Larue.

Seeding small school will be an absolute mess. I see it as: Union Wayne Larue/John Hardin WV Franklin Sheldon Clark Based off of Sectional winners. I dont think anyone wants to draw a John Hardin/Larue or Harrison County in small school.

Region 8 106- SC 113- HC 120- HC/MC 126- Bourbon 132- HC 138- JC 145- JC 152- Bourbon/SC 160- HC/MC 170- JC/HC 182- JC/Ashland 195- JC 220- HC 285- Bourbon Team race will be tight between JC and HC, throw MC in there and its a dogfight.

Do we have a master list of all region locations 1-8?

Hats off to all of the finalists for CU and LW. They also have several that are going to AA. In one of my earlier posts I neglected to mention Thomas from LW and he shows me, he's an AA. Congratulations! I talked to several CU wrestlers about Ashbrook and they told me he has had blood pressure problems and he has been sick to go along with it. I really thought he and Nickle had a good shot at AA and making a lot of noise...shows how much I know about this crazy sport. I hope Ashbrook can get healthy and Nickle can continue to improve because they are good guys on and off the mat.

I'm glad we get the transplants and I hope they make everyone step up their game. I was referring to the Mpire. His kids are fantastic on the mat, I just hope they can live up to the hype and if they can we will have two fine wrestlers at the next level. I am disappointed that the brackets won't come out until the 29th. It would make for some interesting discussion. Don't forget Jones from Campbellsville, he's tough. I will be pulling for all three KY schools, and I hope LW and U of C can knock off every Grand View kid they can to help Campbellsville bring the title to Ky. Have a safe trip.

NAIA Nationals are in Des Moines, Iowa with Grand View being the "home" team and odds on favorite. I believe there are some wrestlers in Campbellsville that will have something to say about that and are not ready to hand Grand View the team title. I will be leaving around 2:00 am on Thursday morning, hopefully arriving before the opening matches and providing updates for KY teams and KY boys.

I'm disappointed we can't get more people to comment on this thread. CU, LW, and Cumberlands have worked hard get to nationals and given a lot of KY boys a shot to continue their careers and we can't get anyone to congratulate them and encourage them next week. It will be hard to grow the sport in this state if we can't get behind the only college teams that do have a team. I guess we need a couple of OH transfers with an egomaniac for a father to generate some buzz for the NAIA Nationals...my bad.

In my opinion this award was given before the tournament ever started. I'm not taking anything away from Fahy at all, but we all know it was his award if he won. Given the results, Myers should have won MOW going away. Neither weight class was stacked, so that being said, you compare results match by match and it's not even close. Myers absolutely dismantled every guy in front of him, as did Fahy, but the domination displayed by Myers is without rival. Mpire, I realize you are proud of your boys and you should be, but let their performance on the mat speak for them. The drama you may or may not create for them is a liability that may cost them in the future.

Campbellsville should have a strong showing at the NAIA national tournament. If they can stay healthy, score bonus points, and avoid upsets, it is very possible that they can compete for a national title. I have to agree that Thurston and Jones are the favorites in their respective weight classes. At 141 Teague and Pretty both have a shot, at 157 Young may be peaking at the right time of the year with an impressive pin over Pingleton, 174 has Kentucky native Ashbrook wrestling strong-nothing flashy, just winning, 184 Scruggs may not be an offensive machine, but he also finds a way to win, and with Coach James in the corner for CU the rest of their line up can be very formidable. I had a chance to see some KY wrestlers this past weekend and they did a good job. I was surprised to see Courtney get pinned twice by the same guy and get beat in the 4th place match. I hear he has battled different injuries this year and 57 was a tough weight class, but honestly he looks like the same wrestler he was four years ago. He was by far the most accomplished KY wrestler there yet had the worst finish. Ashbrook had a couple of close matches, but managed to win. I know Stephens wasn't there, but he did what he needed to do. He could be the sleeper for Campbellsville this year and as far as KY boys go, I believe he has the best chance to AA. Gardner wrestled tough and was his usual scrappy self ending up finishing 3rd. Nickle looked good in his first match and then wound up getting pinned by a guy that got lucky (I think he did come back to pin him later). If he can avoid a let down he has a good shot to AA. We need to get behind all of our KY wrestlers on every level and cheer for them regardless of what team they are on. Courtney, Nickle, Ashbrook, and Gardner collectively have 5 state titles, numerous state places, and a bunch of wins on the high school level in KY so it's important that we all give them their just dues on this site.

Very solid performance from Campbellsville, I hope KY wrestling fans appreciate the team and their accomplishments. Lindsey Wilson had a very disappointing tournament today and it kind of reflects their season this year.

Campbellsville has Thurston, Teague, Pretty, Young, Ashbrook, Scruggs, Jones, and Adams in the finals. Lindsey Wilson has Klink and Pingleton in the finals. I haven't heard any team scores, but Campbellsville should win it going away.

Heading into the semifinals Campbellsville is in first, Missouri Baptist second, followed by Shorter in third, and Lindsey Wilson in fourth. Campbellsville has all but one wrestler in the championship bracket.

I believe Campbellsville has only lost one match and Lindsey Wilson is up and down so far. When I hear some team points I'll give everyone an update.
