Thanks, we are headed back to the Orthopedic specialist tomorrow. I know he feels like he let a lot of people down and he is working hard to get well and make amends.

I think the 165 lb class was a huge shock. Nelson had a heck of a season winning districts and regionals undefeated, but injured his hip in the 3rd match at state and was basically out of it after that. But never fear he is under doctors care and he will be back next year bigger and better and I see a state championship in his future.

Blake Nelson is in the 165 lb weight class. Couch is wrestling at 230 lb (Madison)

Not due to the weather, due to some idiot who is scared someone may melt onto the sidewalk at the school due to the rain.

Have to agree with you 100% a little rain and it all gets called off.....I think this is a joke And I feel sorry for the kids who have worked their butts off all season and now they get nothing because someone is scared of a little rain

And who is going to refund all the money parents have put out for hotel rooms, lost days from work. I was lucky my hotel canceled my reservation without a charge but I know others who are stuck with a huge hotel bill for nothing. Not to mention these boys have worked their asses off this year and someone has the nerve to call this off because of rain. Makes no sense this forecast his been up for 4 days and you couldn't plan an alternative site in 4 days...right

Are you telling me there isn't an auditorium somewhere in ETown big enough to hold this tournament? Sounds fishy to me maybe someone who was supposed to win couldn't make it this weekend..............I say find another facility and those who have the stones to show up wrestle those who don't forfeit.

Who ever made the decision needs to take driving lessons because they apparently think those of us with a brain can't drive in rain....idiots

This is nonsense. I can't believe this. Who can't drive in RAIN............Idiots after these boys have worked so hard for this they have the nerve to call it off over rain. :x

Blake Nelson Madison Co is in the 165 lb weight class. I think he has a really good chance of taking his weight class at State, he has been undefeated for last 6 weeks, and hasn't been pinned all year, only lost by 1 point in the two matches he lost. He turned around 2 weeks later and pinned the kid who beat him. Nelson is a strong wrestler and a good kid.

140 Darion Coleman Mad Co 150 Storm Savage Mad Co 165 Blake Nelson Mad Co My predictions for State. Not sure it will end up that way but hey it's possible.

Actually our 140 lb wrestler was cheated out of 8 points during his Championship match. If he had been given the points he actually earned he would have won 1st in his weight class. So yes I would still feel the same. But I don't feel it's necessary to cause an uproar because it only teaches the boys to be poor sports. Like I said I saw several things happen that day that I don't agree with. I'm sorry if any of the boys were treated unfairly, because that's something I don't agree with. All of the wrestlers at the tournament have worked hard all year to get where they are and it's a shame that they couldn't have a fair shot. I'm sorry for your wrestler and I hope he does well at the State tournament.

I would like to say that Madison County had a great day yesterday. Thanks to all the coaches and parents who have given so much of their time and effort to the wrestlers. Our boys have come a long way since the beginning of the season. I am so proud of each and every one of them. Our parents and family members showed great pride and support for each team member. I'm sure we all agree that not everything went as fair and honest as we would have liked, but I have to give the parents and coaches credit for not causing a scene, unlike some of the other schools. All in all the day was a great success, and I wish all the Madison County Wrestlers, as well as the other participating wrestlers, good luck at the State Tournament. :mrgreen:

Can someone post the Region 4 standings..... thanks

I agree. My son wrestled against a boy from Bourbon county. On the mat they were fighting it out like true champs, but after the match they were like best friends. I love to see the boys wrestle but more than that I love to see the friendships that grow out of these tournaments. I think wrestling teaches our children to handle life's ups and downs with grace. I hope my son continues to wrestle throughout high school.
