Has anyone compiled a complete list of Kentucky wrestlers going this weekend?

Taylor Pruitt (Ryle) went 2-2 at 189

You could be mistaken for a proud mom LOL

I wonder how amused the new coach at Cooper is about all of the moves down to Walton Verona

I don't want to be too blunt but there is quite a difference between the older and younger Fahy

Raider, Just a FYI as of this year high school kids (or younger in Mark's case) will not be allowed to participate in any college open tournaments. I heard this directly from Jeff Jordan

Thanks

Does anyone know the web address to find the rules interpretation clinic? I did not see it on the KHSAA website.

Shouldn't that be Twinhoflel Jon?

you're right has been it was 126, 132 and 138 but I do think I'm older because I have hard time seeing the numbers on the keyboard

for us old timers we remember when 126, 132, and 136 were actual weight classes

Since Scott Co is in Georgetown I'm sure he was mistaken. He was probably thinking of Scott High School in region 6 and was unaware they still have a wrestling program

can't ref when you are coaching lol Now most of the seeding talk is concerned when we have a clear #1 and clear #2 or #3. but what about the weight class where there are no clear favorites or close seconds. Wouldn't seeding close kids based on whatever criteria or meeting give them an unfair advantage?

Alot of the redrawing in Ohio is based on size. there are Three sizes of schools (D I- III) for wrestling. Each division is made up uf 4 districts and each district has 4 sectionals of between 9-15 schools each. As schools change size they can change division or schools add or drop wrestling Every year there are "realignments" to try and balance out the number of participating schools in each. They have alsp tried to redraw the district lines in the past to try to split the major powers. It gets political sometimes and some of the district maps kinda look like congressional districts

Ohio does not seed their state tournament. This is significant in that about half of the state placers (and most of the champs) come out of the Celeveland/Akron districts. However nobody really complains other then occasionally trying to redraw the districts or things like that.

The reality is any seeding system, criteria or meeting is going to have flaws and will do some wrestler injustice, At least our current system does not have a person with some bias or preconceived criteria trying to make these decisions. The biggest complaint against our system is that the 2 best kids don't automatically see each other in the finals but you what. If you want to get to the finals you should beat the kid to get there It should not be given to you that you get to the finals because you are the second best kid in that weight class. Life itself is not perfectly fair and that in itself can be a good (if hard) lesson and you learn. If we really want to help our state tournament GET BETTER REFS

Mike Osborne hanging tough at the Air Force Academy getting a little bigger, but I think he's going to make it

If I kow an Ockermann student, who does he talk to about geting started in wrestling?

maybe in a perfect world Troxell form Wayne can find himself against that Hall kid. that could be fun :evil:

Does anyone have any results? I checked the official website and didn't see any.

The principle of Ockermann has a reputatuion of being a "band guy" who has a generally non supportive attitiude of athletics in general

It was also fun watching Mark Hall wrestling live with Kyle Ruschell

Besides having clinicians that include an olympic silver madalist, 2 kentucky college coaches, and 2 D I all americans, there will be alot of good wrestlers to work with including alot of good Ohio kids and some college wrestlers. It's a good chance to see great competition in a clinic setting (of course there will be some live wrestling!)

Who's that Jason Moore guy? :-D :-D

did josh johnstone also sign with lindsey wilson?
