First of all, I would like to apologize to Keith Smith, I have not lived in KY very long but was judging my assessment of him based on how KY USAW is now and not how it has grown over the past 5 years.... That being said Ive looked through the different wrestling leagues and the posts in this thread and I think I have found some points that KY wrestling can improve on: 1) Better and more leadership at the state and club level. (not a stab at Mr.Smith) 2) Better ran and advertised tournaments. 3) Incentives for the top kids in the state to attend Nationals and other prestigous tournaments. ( such as paying the entry fee for state champs like MYWAY does.)

dinubus, I did not mean to specifically call you out, I meant that more as an open invitation for someone to take the reigns of Kentucky wrestling. I think we can all we agree that the state needs better organization. Now that we have identified the problem we can start working on the solutions.

dinubus and pioneer_pride, What I really wanted people to get out of this post wasnt that MYWAY was the holy grail of wrestling or anything of that nature. My point was that we as a state need a central leader who can organize more tournaments, all star teams, camps ect. Right now Keith Smith is the director of USA wrestling for Kentucky, and I hate to say it but he has really dropped the ball. The state only has one all star team (the one that goes to Illinois for the MS national duals) and only 2 Ky kids went to Fargo last year, dinubus if you really know so much about wrestling (as it appears from most of your posts) then please step up to the plate and get the ball rolling. Im not asking you to be the director or anything but do something more than just talk on this board about what SHOULD be done.

Right now there are only 7 Kentucky wrestlers signed up for NHSCA Nationals... Freshman Alex Murphy- John Hardin- 119 Sophomore Charlie Ammerman -Harrison County- 160 Junior Myron Bradbury - Trinity- 112 Pat Milford- Paul Laurence Dunbar-103 Jordan Murphy- John Hardin- 130 Seniors Jacob Ilg - Campbell County- 215 Jacob Bradford- Ryle- 189 Entry deadline is March 27th. Kentucky needs a good showing at these tournaments in order to get more college coaches recruiting Kentucky kids. If you think you're a good wrestler then go to Nationals and prove it!

Have you still not learned that posting these types of threads is just an open invitation to get yourself bashed?

Wow, i really hope someone beats the f**k out of you for being so cocky.

Ok then, who would be ahead of him?

Another one on the list: Junior Alex Henderson-Seneca-130

I think I need to clarify what I said, when I said fahy would 'handle' any 103 to ever come out of KY, i didnt mean he would walk all over people but that he would be the favorite going into any match.

If someone has to tell people that youre good, then youre probably not very good.

Well judging how Fahy placed at Beast of the East...as a FRESHMAN... i think he could handle just about any 103 to every come out of Kentucky, yeah hes that good

3 more kids on the list :-D Freshman Luke Troxell-Wayne County-112 Sophomores Connor Coyle-Ryle-160 Felix Casa del Valle-Seneca-112 Just 20 more days to sign up

Go Jake!!! :-D

There are only 10 kids from Kentucky signed up to go to Nationals, entry deadline is the 27th, Kentucky needs to make a good showing at these tournaments if it ever wants to get respected on the national level.

Another Kentucky kid on the list: Sophomore Hardy Hendren-145-KCD

Trinity beat Union in '08 and this years trinity team is much better so Im going with Trinity hands down.

But did Kyle do anything in the match or did he just kinda lay there, im guessing he did the later.

Just go to the link I posted, click on the individual tournament and then go to 'View Event Entries'

Kyle Terry is a sloppy wrestler, the only reason nobody just absolutely tore him up this year is because there just wasnt anybody that good at 125 besides Carr, who if you remember correctly got his butt handed to him by Elliot Martin at state 2 years ago.

Just added to the list: Juniors Terrence Demery-125-North Hardin Seniors Justin Davis-140-Eastern
