Listen, if your going to make statements you need to be able to back them up or don't make them. That is some free advice! Have a great time at the state tournament.

So how many titles has Highlands won compared to Union (in all sports)? If you are just stating facts could you please give me the real facts, not that you aren't correct but when you make a statement like that tell everyone the numbers. I'm not hating on your statement, I would just like to know the real numbers.

I didn't know Highlands won umpteen state titles in wrestling.

I guess you need to switch regions so you have a chance.

Union is also a small school with 650 students or approximately 325 male students not a lot to pick from but they get it do year in and year out. What size are the schools in region 4 and 6? ST X and Trinity all boys around 2000 to 2500 students?

The farm show is the same weekend as the state tournement. There won't be any hotel rooms available in Louisville.

With all the time we have before state, someone needs to seed the 8 region champs in each weight class and see how many arguments you can get started. People love to complain and argue and this would be fun.

One thing Union County has done to promote wresting in the county and get the public support is to announce ther state tournament matches on the radio. I believe they have been doing this the last four years and the public is really starting to understand our sport and getting behind there team. They also put home matches and the region tournament on the radio. It's a great way to promote wresting.

Don't forget about Robbie Clarkson from Conner, four time state champ 1978-81. He may have been the first four timer?

I wish they would go back to four regions. If they did that and took the top 8 in each bracket you would still have your 32 man bracket and a more balanced bracket and tournement. This would help to separate your best wrestlers.

Union County: Jackson Oxford should be in the line-up at 138 or 145.

Can someone post a district break down. It would be interesting how the eight districts fared.

I believe they hold elections every 2 years. If you don't like the way things are run then run for an office and make the changes. People need to get involved and not just complain. Just my 2 cents.

Union County in 1980 had 6 wrestlers in the finals, 4 state champs, 2 seconds, 2 thirds and a fourth. There were only 12 weight classes at the time. I believe they scored 182 team points.

Who is hosting the region 1 tournament ?

Now that Brock has won 3 state titles do you think he will win 2 more and be the first 5 timer in Kentucky?

Joe Carr Jr.

That was pretty good. It hurt me and I was 300 miles away!!!!

Funny, women or men's.lol

I'm going with bigfoot. I just keep thinking of the Six Million Dollar Man Steve Austin getting his butt kicked by bigfoot, and in slow motion at that. If Steve Austin couldn't beat bigfoot there is no way Austin Myers could beat him.

Its the same for all teams, anyone can use the 2 pounds to drop a weight class if they want to. That being said I wouldn't care if they did away with the 2 pounds and wrestled the weight classes the same all year. If you want a change tell your coach to get to the state meeting this spring and bring it up for a vote. Just talking about it won't change anything.

Well said GOO!!!!!!!

If I were picking an early favorite it would be Simon Kenton.

Union also has a young team, they will only have three seniors next year, Carr, Wurth and Gabe Ervin.

Tccx, I was lucky enough to be on both ends of the string and it didn't bother me when the guy that beat me celebrated after beating me in the state finals. If I could have done a back flip when I won I would have but I didn't have the skills to do it. Someone acting like they are shooting something is a little much.
