Who did Zarth lose to this year besides Johns from Evansville Reitz ( 15-5 dec ) ?

So did Lenz wrestle in the 125 finals against Rueger (Reitz)?

Thank you to the host team on a great but long day of wrestling. There were some great individual matches yesterday. One being the 119 match with Johns and Zarth. In earlier post someone said it would be worth the price of admission. To bad they weren't charging that late in the day :-D As a parent, I would like to say I appreciate the class and manner that each young man displayed after the match. It always nice to see there are still good young men being taught to act like champions regardless of winning or losing. I appreciate seeing wrestlers respect one another even after the match. Matt came over to myself and Alex and congratulated Alex again after the awards. Hopefully I have raised my son to act the same as Mr. Zarth. I gave him my up most congratulations with a firm handshake and wished him the best of luck. It is my understanding he will be attending Davidson College next fall? Good luck again on winning another state title. After what I witnessed yesterday and what people told me at the tourney, I believe you will successful on any of your endeavors. Mark Johns

Thanks for the info. It sounds like a very interesting and great day of wrestling. We have wrestled Union County and Trinity already this year and for the past few years. Just a few years ago we went to the King of the Bluegrass for two consecutive years. I really don't know much about the teams at 5-Star. Are these KY schools from any area in particular or are they all spread out. It sounds like some pretty good talent spread out between these teams.

I guess I'm confused with everyone wrestling three duals in their pool that would be six duals per mat. :? :? Four mats; Right ? After the conclusion of the last dual, the weight class champs from each pool will be put into four man brackets. :-D I am confused from here, (I don't think I've been given the right info) or the lack of understanding on my part. 14 weight classes with 3 matches per bracket without wrestling for third. Multiply that by four, according to an earlier post saying individuals from 1-4. My head is spinning from the math. :-o I don't think this could be possible with four mats. Something is not quite right. :wink: With 6 duals on all four mats you are at least figuring 7-9 hrs. Can someone explain? It appears to be a very long day of wrestling. Has this been done before? It is our first time going and I was just curious. While I'm asking all these questions about the tourney, is there coolers allowed and what type of seating should we be expecting. I know people will be asking here in Evansville about all of these things. Also is the gym fairly large to accomodate 16 teams and fans. Sorry for the questions. We are looking for a great day of wrestling some of Kentucky's finest. Thanks

Does anyone know how many mats they will be using and how long do they expect this tourney to last on Saturday?
