    Jones brothers

    What an amazing tourney for both of them. Seeing Logan fiilled with tears because he was so happy for his brother despite his own troubles and battles in the tourney is what its all about. They define the word "brothers". I have no doubt either one of them would pick the other to win state if they knew only one of them could be the champ.

    Region 1 at the State Tournament

    FCHS/JCU125, excellent run down on your region with great insight. i would like to point out that region 6 people are not snobs, at least not the majority of us. i assume you make that point because of region 6 people claiming to have the toughest region. if that is your point then you really cant deny the facts of where the majority of state placers will come from. i personally have great respect for region 1 as a whole and i think they benefit from their close proximity to illinois, indiana and missouri just as region 6 benefits from ohio and the louisville regions benefit from indiana. i think the only difference is population , louisville is split in half so they dont get the same benefit that region 6 has of keeping all the talented population in one region. trust me, there are many good wrestlers in region 6 that would love to split it in half as they were sent home yesterday and could of easily made it out of some of the other different regions. i think stud for stud however, that can be found anywhere in the state and will differ each year. region 6 does not have a lock on this as it typically turns out to be a God given talent mixed with hard work and a decent coach. i by no means think kevin cooper and stephen meyers are any levels ahead of brock ervin. i personally couldnt tell you who is the best but if i was forced to use my same statistics i used in saying region 6 will have the most placers then i would say brock will graduate with the best resume. he has handidly beat garth yenter and sean fausz to win his state titles and i have the highest respect for those 2. kevin and stephen have had people running from them with good reason so they have not had the challenge that brock has had. so dont think we are snobs as i think the majority of region 6 fans are not , but we are realist and will give credit where credit is due.

    State Team Scores

    bulldog leader, for the record "ccwrestler oldschool" is not Dusty Brown. Dusty is currently in bootcamp with no access to computer,cell phone, pen and paper, fire for smoke signal or any other form of communication. dont know why you have to bring dusty in to this.

    best finals match

    DW, I have to agree with ya on the jude vs canter match . I had no dog in that fight and I was on edge of my seat. I think that took a lot out of both of them for the rest of their matches. Neither one had much left in their remaining matches. As far as best match in finals , i liked the blackwell vs killebrew match. On a side note I like a 3 day tourney vs this 2 day setup. Too many matches on final day to see the boys at their best.

    WCI

    not sure either but thats what was on the kids resume for seeding meeting and what they announced. either way the kid was a 2 time state champ and a good win for clay. ky did well against out of state teams at both this tourney, gmvwa and mater dei.

    Good Wrestlers W/O Medals???

    I was surprised by whalen not placing. He is a Damn good wrestler and I'm sure he will be on the podium several times over the next 3 yrs. Abernathy just looked to turn it up tremendously at state and wrestled really well. As far as this topic goes , I will add Logan Jones to the list. tough , deep weight class with no room for an off match.

    State tourney stats

    That's good stuff Goo, I think this is a good sign for the state in terms of competitive balance. I believe this shows that overall we are getting deeper in our quality of wrestling. Goo , any chance you can research scoring differential in the finals as this also appeared to be better.

    Ranger's state tournament report

    Page 1 2011 Kentucky High School Wrestling State Tournament Report Similar to first edition I have patterned the design and much of the content of this report based on the work of Brian Brakeman who annually creates the Brakeman Report prior to the Ohio high school wrestling post season. His work is admired by many throughout the state of Ohio (and us KY folks who compete across the river quite a bit) so I decided why re-create the wheel. I also want to acknowledge the valuable input from many parents, coaches, wrestlers, and fans across the state throughout the course of the season. A few do a particularly great job of keeping me up to date on not only their team, but also opposing competitors that deserve to be recognized. I have not gone to the effort of explaining the process of ranking individual wrestlers and the issues that arise when attempting to do so, from receiving little to no information on some individuals and teams to receiving limited or incorrect information. Instead I will direct anyone interested to at least read the introduction published by Brakeman at: http://www.baumspage.com/brakeman/2010%20Brakeman%20Report.pdf For those of you who have followed me over these last 5 or so years, you know I willingly admit I am far from perfect. Add to that the fact that I have far from perfect data from which to base this report, so I am bound to make some mistakes. But hey, this is high school wrestling, it ain

    Ranger's state tournament report

    if i am looking at it right and assuming terry beats jones, then looser of bisinius and ahern meet jones 1 round away from the go to round. i see jones taking that but it will be a barn burner.

    Ft Knox invitational

    Thanks coach, glad to see someone post actual ky results in ky. It's hard to build a fan base to a sport that has no reporting of the actual results of an event. We wonder why there are so few fans of wrestling in ky when participants can't even follow competitors from around the state. How would we ever expect outsiders or retired wrestlers to.ever follow and show up when they don't know who is who . Anyhow, thanks again for posting. Wake up coaches.

    STATE DUALS!

    pioneer pride, i thought you died. good to see you back in the forums. pm me when you get a chance. your observations of woodford are dead on, its all about the middle school programs. thankfully ky has advanced to a level that you can no longer win with wrestlers that have only 2 yrs experience.

    Region 6th predictions

    you guys have to remember that jones just beat ahern over the weekend at dragon, and fauze is the under dog so Ruschell, being the # 1 seed, has to worry about the whole state while fauze on the other hand is just focusing on ruschell and probably studying him.
