The grade thing does bite, I have a 12 y/o 7th grader myself. He won't be 13 till September and weighs about 130lbs.

If a kid makes the team, are there practices that are centralized, is the entry fee just for the one tournament?

Great job to everyone who had a hand in running this years tournament. From the Raiders coaches, parents and volunteers to the table workers from Scott Co that I talked with, I'm sure hundreds of others helped along the way as well. Great job !

BJ did have a really good tournament. I didn't see the Ervin match, but he absolutely dismantled Putty. I don't think Putty had ever beat him, but I never thought Miller would beat him like that. I was glad to see him beat the poor sport from Paducah/McCracken. Martin is good but everyone gets beat and he showed very poor sportsmanship following his two losses. Ferris will be just fine next week I believe. I think one of the biggest surprises of the day was Kajuan Majors (freshman from Christian Co) in the finals. He wrestled JV the first half of the year, beat Easterling in the semis, then gave Stevens all he wanted in the finals.

Sorry, they were from the top of my head.

Kjuan Major (Christian Co) over Brad Easterling (Ohio Co) in semis Derek Miller (Paducah) over Robbie Dezember (Union) on last second takedown in finals Jorstad (Ft Campbell) over Raynel Brown (Union) in semis Region 1 Ferris (Ohio) lost first match of the season in the finals

Bussell won 152 and Kennady won 285. There were several questionable calls, the other 3 refs did pretty good though.

Great job to all the Region 1 wrestlers this weekend! 106- Ervin Sapp 113- Sheffer Agulto 120- Miller Dezember 126- Blackwell Austin 132- Ervin Jaschen 138- Oxford Gilkey 145- Matlock Gahafer 152- Agnew 160- Buckman Williams 170- Ryder Lawson 182- Hayward Smith 195- Stevens Majors 220- Sherman Ferris 285- Caldwell Jorstad

I have to disagree on two weight class ukpride. Call me a homer, but Dyess is wrestling really well and over the past month has quality wins. Only losses were to Boston (#1 in nation), and Erdman (Ryle) during that stretch, I really like Cameron (great kid) but I'm gonna go with Dyess. Now the Miller (OHCO) vs Putty (UHA) is a toss up. Miller beat him handily at the duel meet at Ohio Co, but because this second round match will be just like the Cole vs Dyess matchup, the winner of both matches will punch their ticket to Lexington. I believe UHA will take four to Lexington.

I have to say, Crabtree (UHA) has gotten a lot better. If he can keep from making mistakes in the last few seconds of matches, he could actually be the surprise. He gave up a last second takedown to Lawson at Calloway for OT, then a bad shot to lose the match. He was up I think 7-2 at Mustang Classic to the champion from Central and got stuck with seconds left, does he have the heart to finish. I think a great 1st round match will be Cam Cole (ChCo) vs Daniel Dyess (UHA). Don't count out Unions upper weight classes for anything, their history shows they bring it this time of year. Hoptown will have a really good team showing this year for sure I like the Gray over Miller pick, Wes will have Dylan ready.
