Yes, but it was the NCAA Kyle Terry that beat the NCAA Kyle Ruschell, not the KHSAA Kyle Terry. 8-)

I'm taking Bernard (the originator of this thread) to Vegas. Or maybe just Keeneland! :mrgreen:

Given the ceremonies, and festivities that take place prior to these matches, especially the finals, I would expect nothing less than an outpouring of celebration. The atmosphere is way too much to expect a somber exit from the mat as if it were just another match.

I never said that Myron knew that. But there is a big difference between booing a call and booing a person. I was pointing out that the negativity was to the call, not the wrestler.

Let's just say I have been to my fair share of tournaments. Without a doubt, this has been the worst. Every single tournament that we went to this year provided better choices. On Friday, in the early evening, I made my way to the concession stand and saw that my choice for something to eat was really an oversized (and overpriced) hot dog, or a piece of Chef Boarder type pizza. At that point I decided I would buy a pop and be done. Nothing else for three days from that place. Had I been there for several hours I would understand. But to think that people would eat that stuff for three days is ridiculous. I have always happily patronized the concession area of the state tournament. While not cheap, I thought it was reasonable considering the quality, variety, convenience, and the understanding that somewhere up the line there is a profit to be Mayfair enough. This year I ate less, and was inconvenienced more. Quick trips to the hotel and various food runs over the course of three days were required. Hopefully they fix this problem by next year.

I don't think Ryle was booing Myron. If you watch the video from ihigh even the commentators acknowledge that the fans didn't like the calls. In watching the clip it was very obvious.

They could run concessions at the State Tournament next year. :evil:

Ranger needs a room at the Capital Plaza. If anyone has an extra room in their block, I am sure he would be grateful. If you can help then send him a PM at Ranger123.

Same with Osborne and Carr.....no finals match.....same side of the bracket

103 - Yenter and Milford can't be in the finals....they are on the same side of the bracket.

It takes time to secure a facility to host a tournament. Obviously you are clueless as to the preparation necessary to pull something like this off. The Board will inform the coaches as soon as they have made arrangements. Relax.

Hall defeated Bradbury in quadruple OT at the Dragon Invitational.

Fuzzy math. If you were to have asked the question differently then yes the outcome may have been different. You could say that a MAJORITY of coaches wanted to wrestle on a Saturday and if they had been polled to vote on 2/13 or 2/27 the outcome may have been different. At least it is rescheduled. Time to move on.

I highly doubt that it would absolve the school district of liability if accidents/injuries occurred on their property due to the ice/snow. A personal injury lawyer would go after both.......and of course keep at least a third. I am crossing my fingers that rescheduling is an option. It won't help the inconvenience, but the kids deserve their chance-that is for sure.

It has nothing to do with the rain. It has everything to do with the condition of the property tomorrow. This isn't rocket science. Nonetheless-a huge disappointment for all involved. :cry:

Who is going to fund the auditorium rental?

I'd start with Mother Nature and if you don't get satisfaction then go straight to God. Really now? It is due to the weather.....no conspiracy to torment wrestlers and their families. The schools have to maintain responsibility for their properties. I am very disappointed too. Parents make sacrifices, kids practice hard-cut/maintain weight, etc. Clearly there are no winners when this happens. Hopefully something can be worked out to re-schedule.

The school still has liability for the grounds. So they have responsibility for the parking lot, sidewalks etc. If it is a weekend, chances are they aren't going to pay someone overtime to clear it. So they call off the function. Some schools may be lucky enough to get buses. I know Gray does not. Heck-Ryle doesn't get buses unless the team pays for it. School board doesn't pay for any of that. I'm sure it varies by district.

If you can't find a good deal on mats maybe you can use those big inflatable thingies.

Ryle is already committed to another tournament. Keeping the sled a little closer to home this weekend.

I sure hope the tournament is a go. That is definitely the best case scenario. I would love to know your suggestions for "fixing" the tournaments that are impacted by bad weather. This is difficult for all parties involved. Wrestling season takes place in the winter time. Bad weather will always be a threat. Since these functions take place on property owned by a school district there is some liability of the schools to ensure that the grounds are safe. Let's face it......if they don't cancel and someone falls and goes boom the district may be faced with a law suit. Same with allowing the team to travel in bad weather. It all comes down to liability. And I agree-that is a shame for the kids. Gym time is at a premium in most schools, so rescheduling is a lot easier said than done.

They don't seed the state tournament. Basically it is a draw.

It was an exhibition match.
