Not salty at all. I gave credit where credit was due. I thought the Rusch-Shirey and Hinkle-Boroff matches were great. I just gave my input on a couple of questionable calls. I know all the guys are already looking ahead to state. I am impressed with what Region 5 is sending to state. Good luck to all of the teams in Lexington.

Coach is being nice. Here's my take on NO's finals matches: 103: Rusch wrestled very conservatively and took #1 as an 8th grader. Shirkey will be a handful next year. 130: Avera made too many mistakes and Nyitrai took advantage. Nyitrai was finesse and Avera was muscle. Nyitrai deserved to win this match and handily. I've always admired Russell's ethic/demeanor, so I'm glad he is the #1 seed for Region 5. 135: VERY close match. For some reason, the ref figured he'd decide this one. Shirey was awarded back points when Rusch was rolling from back to front..no count. Several blood time stops allowed Shirey to catch his breath. I felt Rusch was pushing the action the whole match and would have won (probably by major) had the injury time not come into play. The match should have at least gone to OT and let the wrestlers decide it. 140: Thomson doesn't give up points. Once the score was 1-0, Sharipov had to force the action. Final was 3-0, but there was little doubt as to who would win. I love watching Sharipov , and I think he will do well at State. 160: Congrats to Boroff...he wrestled a smart match. However, the ref was smoking dope on this one. Hinkle was complacent early and ended up having to press the action late. The ref had numerous stalling counts on Boroff, but never pulled the trigger. Late in the 3rd, the score was 11-8. Hinkle tried to let Boroff up, but Boroff held onto Hinkle's wrist like a velcro Chia Pet. Hinkle was actually trying to pull away with his left and push away with his right (while standing up). Boroff was in the fetal position wrapped around Hinkle's wrist. Yet there was no stalling call. 171: Warren demolished R Hinkle. I love Robbie, but he was outclassed in this one. Good luck to Warren at state. This is my take on NO's finals matches. Congrats to Eastern on winning Region 5. They are well deserving of the Region Championship. I don't know them, but the Rupp kids appear to come from a great family..glad Joe won MOW. Long story short...I feel sorry for a bunch of high schoolers who draw Region 5 in the first round of the KHSSAA wrestling tourney!

Actually, a 112 was accidentally put in the 103 class and a HW was put in the 215 class. It was an input error, and the coaches failed to catch it when reviewing the brackets. The mistake wasn't caught until the tournament was started. The options were to find a way to add them to the brackets without affecting the matches in progress, or not let them wrestle. We didn't want to penalize the kids for a mistake the adults made, so we had to regenerate 4 of the brackets.

No, Thomson didn't wrestle - he was sick. Not sure what happened with Grimm.

He has been out with an injury and is 4-0. He's obviously a great wrestler - that's why he is seeded 3rd. Hard to justify seeding him ahead of the other two at this time. My understanding is we will have the tournament with whomever shows up, but I don't anticipate (m)any cancellations. Sounds like Johnson Central is already in town. We don't want them traveling two weeks in a row without wrestling! Come out and enjoy some wrestling if you're in the local area.

We will be using 32 man brackets. 7 of the 14 brackets have over 24 wrestlers.

OK guys, here's the plan. We'll go down to 5 mats and put 30 Lazy Boys where the other mat was supposed to go. We'll find some way to put the chairs on a big, rotating turntable. That way, you guys will never have to get out of your seats (except to go to the hospitality room for refills)!

My apologies. John Hardin will NOT be there. I accidentally included a few of them on the rankings.

We just added Franklin County and North Hardin "B" to the lineup for a total of 30 teams. Coach Fulk may post the actual seeds later this week. I used Rangers rankings to give folks an idea of how the weight classes may look. DISCLAIMER: I rushed thru this a bit, so I apologize if I accidentally omitted anyone. Please don't beat me up like you do Ranger! I left off any middle schoolers since they will probably be wrestling as MS State. The number on the LEFT is the projected seed, the number to the RIGHT is the current Ranger Ranking. Again, I apologize if I accidentally omitted/added anyone: 103 1

Dan Thomson (NO) DEC Tyler Grimm (Johnson Central) 5-4 in the 140 lb quarterfinals

Folks, I posted the results in the "HIGH SCHOOL RESULTS" forum and in a thread in the "HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING" forum. BigWrestleFan - to my knowledge, the only thing the concession stand ran out of was hamburgers, and they were replenished. I know that prior to finals the price was even reduced on grilled cheese, chili and baked potatoes. Eventually, baked potatoes were given away since there were so many left. Could you be more specific of the time frame and what item in particular we ran out of? Obviously, we want to make sure the wrestlers are fed and fed well. But you need to realize that we can't be left with a bunch of perishable food at the end of the day.
