Who was the coach last year? Did he move on some where else?

Did they even have the internet back then? LOL, just messing with ya.

I am glad that others agree that this forum does not have to take every thread down that people disagree in. While I understand some threads go to far and must be closed, I hate seeing threads closed or people wanting them closed when a nice debate/argument is going on. Of course not everyone is going to see eye to eye on every subject and I think that the kids and younger adults that get on here need to know that it is perfectly fine for you not to agree or have some one not agree with you. I have strong feelings on many things but if you come at me with a respectful argument you may very well change my mind on certain things. Having everyone agree with everyone or closing a thread when this does not happen teaches nothing.

The difference I see is that the private schools dont really let a lot of kids just get by like you can easily do in public schools. I went to Pleasure Ridge Park, pushed myself, took honors classes and got a pretty good education. At college I was in the same classes as the kids that came from private schools and my bachelors degree is the same as theirs as well. In high school I seen a lot of kids do the minimum and get passed through. I would always joke on the people that would flunk out because all I figured you HAVE to do is show up to pass. From what I have heard, this does not happen as much in private schools like Trinity and X.

Daniel Theunamen(Spelling??) and Pat Banks are the first two that pop up for me. Some others are Andrew Cooper, Josh Cooper, Tony Perry, Carr( Small one from union), Ben Hines, Kid from South Oldham that lost to Hagerdorn in a great match. All great wrestlers.

Sounds like a great chance to get much stronger and better over the off season.

I think that the Myers looked like great wrestlers as well, no one is doubting that. You bring up a good argument. Lets say that Austin actually does get to stay at one school through his HS career(doubtful), he dominates everyone and never gets the OW award. I would say this is solely because of his Fathers antics. It's sad but you think that Dad would realize this and just keep quiet. Something must truly be wrong with him if he cannot see how his words and antics are actually hurting his kids in some ways. It would not suprise me if these two young men have some serious "daddy" issues when they get older. I hope I am wrong.

This can be said for most teams in the state. I can remember sitting in the stands at state near Woodford. They would have a whole section just for them and they were usually the loudest. It seems they are lucky to get a fraction of those people attending now. Do their fans only follow them during championship years?

It will be interesting to see how much the arena lets go on. Like most on here, I loved the atmosphere before and during finals at Frankfort. I would hate to see kids getting escorted out for something they figured was alright to do.

Anybody know how close it is in practice between Brock and Carr?

Bryce quit already?

I hate to hear this. My prayers are go out to his family and friends.

I just hope that these two kids get a quality education. If they ever post, I will be able to understand it hopefully. Unlike MR NKY and his posts.

How does Seneca not have a coach? They were always a top 15 team just a few years back. Seemed like they always had a couple of little guys battling for a state title. It would be sad to see a program like this not continue on. Did coach Reed quit?

I agree about Sheldon Clark. It was not to long ago I always seen a few of their guys in the finals with a couple usually winning it all. They were always around the top 5 team wise.

The original thread is still locked so I figured people could post their results here. Did not do so great this year but my bonus pick helped me out. Total= 85 Bonus Felix cas de valle Ranked 7th, finished 2nd... 5 extra pts Grand Total=...... 90 pts...... Everyone who paticipated, post them up.

Are you saying that there will be some teams switching regions next year Jbig?

The old way was much better. I always liked it when the top dogs would walk instead of run out. Was it George King who had a soda in his hand when he came out one year?

Central is a great example of how wrestling has helped football and vise versa. I believe I remember reading something about the UK football coach saying he loved coaching ex wrestlers. Central has had a few of their wrestlers/football players go to division one schools to play football. One was drafted to the NFL not to long ago. If you have a D1 coach saying wrestling is good for football, how can any high school coach think otherwise, I don't see how they can justify it. Ballard had some very good teams in the early 2000's. After their coach(Great Guy) got cancer and passed away, the program went down hill very fast. Trinity and StX seem to do fine in football every year and a lot of their players wrestle as well.

Happens every year that many deserving kids do not place. Luck of the draw, bad day, many reasons behind it. Same can be said for the opposite situation. Some kids step it up for one weekend, get a good draw, etc... This is part of the reason I find the state tourny interesting, there are no gaurantees on anything.

Looks good. It took me a couple of minutes to find where to click for new posts, then I seen the new content button to the right.

I think the dungeon is a great place. If it is going to move, I like the idea of it moving around the state. Every region could have a chance at a little home field advantage.

Caleb Ervin deserved it. As much as MOW should be about the wrestler that wrestled the best that weekend, it usually isn't. It seems to be more a career acheivement award. Caleb had a GREAT high school career, great season, and great state tourny. He teched 3:07 into the match in the finals. He was deserving. I say Fahy gets it next year barring any huge upsets because of it being his 4th championship and him probably dominating once again.

I agree, that was a great match. The 215 finals was pretty good as well.

KHSAA just updated it again. Looks like Trinity takes the lead after 2nd round of consolations. Ryle looks to be in very good position in the quarters though.
