We’re doin free and Greco at Moore

He took a nasty slam in the region finals. I thought he wasn’t going to continue but ended up finishing the match. I wonder if it’s related to that

Rankwrestlers has a lot of flaws considering it is constrained by the data it has access to, the flaw isn't with the system per se but the issues of data management and scheduling

Never been seeded

Villums/Deck round 1 at 132, two returning placers

As one of those guys that could barely crack 100 pounds their freshman year I know how important those small weight classes are. It's often where the future champions get their start but some people like to paint that as a bad thing for some reason

region 4

It used to be in that region

Fern Creek drives past region 4 schools to go to the region 3 tournament. If you switched them from Region 3 to Region 4 those two regions would be balanced out kids wise. Would still be the two smallest regions in the state with Eastern dropping their program and programs like Seneca, Shawnee, DuPont Manual, and Iroquois rarely fielding more than five kids on their team. Not going after anyone but it's a bad situation for wrestling in Louisville

All three Boy's schools have feeder programs St. Xavier- River City Trinity- Shamrock Desales- Colts

That's who I was referring to

Priscilla was the closest, we hadn't had a girl qualify for state again since her until last year

Carr Wrestling Academy would be a great choice in that case

It's fairly tough to start up girls rankings from scratch especially since a lot of brackets have more less been haphazardly jotted down on paper and weight classes are getting combined, at least in Louisville. I've had privately made up rankings fro region 3 and region 4 but they're for my use only haha. I feel it would be biased if I was to post them like I did with Region 1 for so many years. Even before I started posting them I had been doing them internally since about 2009, halfhalfhalf can attest to that

It’s highly within the realm of possibility that there is an error or two on trackwrestling because otherwise that match and others suggest more than one time wrestling ineligible wrestlers. I would give the benefit of the doubt but I have seen cases of teams wrestling kids at ineligible weights this year

Credentials should be number one. A 10-5 returning state placer who lost matches out of state should be a higher seed than a 20-3 kid who has only been wrestling the same 8 or so kids

Not always, track will only automatically populate trackwrestling tournaments. Non-track tournaments and duals have to be hand entered

With preseason conditioning starting soon not sure if many places in the area still have open mats going on but somebody may chime in

I was very worried this program would die without Adam. Good luck Zach, I’m happy to count you among the coaching ranks

We do have to acknowledge that Mike Barren doesn't really care about our sport

Saw an opening posted at Lynn Camp High School on KHSAA

It’s unknown how many McCracken kids aren’t going to end up at Paducah

It’s mostly a basketball rule from my understanding. If there is a high school and middle school competition on the same day the middle schooler is supposed to go to the middle school event. I’ve talked to some AD’s that don’t think the rule applies to wrestling at all because the Middle school season is not run through KHSAA

Well from my understanding there isn't really such thing as "independent" in wrestling. While their are ineligible for the postseason I suppose it's fine but they need to get attached to a conference at some point. I would personally go with SoCon where programs like UTC are but the MAC would also work

My guess would be they go either SoCon or EIWA, but ya no plans on cutting the program.
