Been involved with the CC program since I moved here and like to think that I know most things that go on with the program. Would love to know what former coaches kid was babied that cost them a state title.

Congratulations Zeke. That weight class was loaded. Way to represent. 11-0 tech in the finals.

The amount of wrestlers competing keeps getting larger every year. I remember flying out by myself with Garth and then the numbers continuing to grow every year. A big thanks to Keith Smith, Jon Carr, Joe Carr Sr. and Jr., Isaac Knable, Efren Quirino, and all the Ervins and the staff at Union. I know there are people I am forgetting, but these are the people that I have been involved with over the years. They have meant a lot for the growth of freestyle and greco in Kentucky.

That's impressive.

Not sure what the all CAPS thing means. I did not forget Jayce or Stephen. I listed a group of kids that competed and trained together from middle school through high school. Jayce was always a little heavier than them through middle school and not in their bracket at the high school state tournament. Stephen was a great one, but I considered him a middle weight when he moved to Kentucky.

How in the heck did I miss Boston in that first group? And believe it or not, Justin Lampe was a little guy in his younger years. That makes 8 division 1 starters. That's impressive. Some of the other ones I can think of that I had the honor to watch. Bradbury, Zarth, Elam, Sullivan (the match between him and Spencer was awesome to watch). On a side note, I miss the dungeon. That place was special.

Figured someone else would have already started this thread. Nobody did, so I'll start. Let's talk about some of the great light weights this state has seen. I'll name a few. Ervin, Fahy, Yenter, Fausz, Ruschell, Blackwell. The neat thing about this group is that they all competed against each other and trained/travelled together at times. That's 6 division one starters. Look back at some of those state tournament brackets. It's pretty cool. There were a lot more really good kids in those lightweight brackets. It's amazing what Brock was able to accomplish in his high school career. I could start to list all of the stud lightweights in Kentucky this year, but the list would be too long and I am afraid I would miss some. Been at this a long time and I can promise you that we will be watching some of these kids on ESPN 3 and the Big 10 network in the future. I haven't been around Kentucky that long, so give me some other lightweight studs that need a little love. Sick of being told I need to check out what is being said on this site. From the looks of it, this site hardly gets anyone posting anymore. Let's keep it positive.

Looking forward to a great camp. Looks like we will have numerous college wrestlers to work out with the campers. Please do not let cost be an issue, Dennis will make it work for everyone.

We are pleased and honored that Coach DiSalvo will be running a practice at Campbell County High School in Alexandria, KY on Tuesday March 29th from 5:30 - 7:30 P.M. There is no cost to attend this practice. All you need is a USA wrestling card. We are looking to get the same excitement and participation that the SWORTC is getting in Dayton, here in the Northern Kentucky / Cincinnati area. Check out Yappi for the list of names attending the sessions in Dayton, it's unbelievable. We have been able to secure our wrestling room up until Fargo. If initial response is good, we are working with Coach DiSalvo to do this every Tuesday and Thursday. Cost and exact practice dates will be determined at a later date. We are still in the planning stages and hope to have things finalized soon. For anyone who is not familiar with Mark DiSalvo. He is the head coach of the newly formed wrestling program at Thomas More College. He was a 2 time NCAA division 1 All American at Central Michigan University. He also has been an assistant coach at Cornell University and Central Michigan University. On top of that, he is the Ohio junior national coach. Hoping that we get a lot of kids to take advantage of this great opportunity. Not only to get in great training, but to build a relationship with Coach DiSalvo and the Thomas More program. Please call me with any questions. Jay Yenter 513-616-2546 Campbell County High School 909 Camel Crossing Alexandria, KY 41001 0

Dennis Hall camp started tonight at Campbell County. Only have 15 kids. You can still come tomorrow and Sunday. On a side note, with the low numbers at CC. I am looking for another school to host his camp next year. Please contact me if you are interested.

Tanner Yenter went 1-2 at Junior 113. Brady Wells went 3-2 at cadet 120. For the very limited amount of practice they have had in Greco. They competed very well.

Congratulations to Garth Yenter for earning Academic All Big 10 honors for the second consecutive year. College wrestling is a grind and keeping your grades up is very difficult, especially with his major. I could not be more proud.
