    Prayers needed for Brad Stafford

    Former 2x state runner up Sheldon Clark wrestling standout Brad Stafford has been hospitalized after falling from a truck while at work. He is in critical condition with severe head trauma. His chances have improved from yesterday, but he still has a long way to go. He and his family could really use your prayers right now.

    Football coaches Vs Wrestling.

    From experience I can honestly say that the best players on my highschool football team were wrestlers. They were both physically and mentally tougher. Not only does wrestling help out with athletic abilities, but I believe that it builds a confidence that participants in most other team sports do not get. Its just the attitude and how a wrestler carries himself. On my team you could easily tell who was a wrestler and who wasnt by their attitude and the way that they played. It was men amongst boys.

    State venue

    It doesnt really matter to me either way, But how many teams are in region 8/region 1? Have you taken into consideration the wrestling community population and not just state census statistics? Just curious as to what you come up with

    How many years ago was this? Goodluck doing that now

    small school- big school

    A very strong point. A school with only a handful of wrestlers will have a hard time even competing in practice. There will be uneven matchups with drill partners. For example, A 189 may have to drill with a 152. Neither wrestler would get to experience wrestling someone of the same weight before going into a match.

    I agree 100%

    Injury time

    yep, basically. not a lot you can do about it though. Just a part of the sport. Happens in other sports all the time, only difference is that a sub goes in.

    I just think a division split would give small schools for of an incentive to compete. I predict that the competition level would rise within small schools. More competition creates better wrestlers. Just my thoughts..

    I'm sure they would not care to prove theirselves. Thats like saying, Why would a state champ return the next year to defend his title? Does everyone who works their rear off and achieves their dream give up? I don't think so. They step up to the challenge. Thats what separates the good from the bad. You have to be willing to step up. And if not, I'm sorry to say but your in the wrong sport. I don't want to argue, but I feel that 2 divisions would help our state out. Other states have had success from it. I think it would do the same for us.

    I like the idea of a final meeting. But as for the wrestlers not wanting to be one of 2 state champs (Keep in mind that Kentucky does not have enough for more than 2 divisions), I think your wrong. I believe there are plenty of kids that would love the opportunity to have the title of state champ. In my opinion I think that competition within the smaller schools would increase because the prize of state champion would be more achievable. Same thing with large schools. Besides, you could take the top 8 from the small school state tourny and top 8 from large school and make a 16 man bracket for a final tournament.

    I have another point to mention. If there were 2 divisions, there would be 4 state finalist eligible for senior nationals. We would double our input at the national level. And for those who say it strips the meaning of state champ, that is why they go to nationals and prove theirselves.

    He said that West Virginia split in 1977. I'm sure that the teams have grown pretty fairly since then. On the other hand, it would probably be hard to figure out how many teams they had in 77.

    Would there be as many teams if there were no class system?

    Ok, so West Virginia has roughly the same amount of wrestling teams as Kentucky. Now look at this statistic. Total population of Kentucky 4.2 million. Total Population of West Virginia 1.8 million. So a state with not even half of the population of ours is putting out around the same amount of participants. I wonder why?
