I haven't posted or been on this forum in years since my son graduated but i came for regional brackets and this thread caught my attention. My wife is a middle school teacher and the staff asked the students for suggestions of careers that they would like to hear about on Career Day. In the Top Ten was...... UFC Fighter. Yes, you read that right. IN THE TOP TEN - UFC FIGHTER!!! My wife is actually trying to contact some former UFC fighters in Cincinnati to come speak. I think moving to MMA fight shorts and rashguards could help get more kids interested, both as spectators and wrestlers.

Yes that really looks like a committee of people who would like to "kill wrestling." <sarcasm>

i heard a coach say to a young ref in the hospitality room "There's the cheatin' ref!" and proceed to harangue him for 5 minutes. That ref is a first year ref but he wrestled for 10 years so he knows what he is seeing as much as anybody could. I really doubt the ref had any agenda to cheat anybody. Another reason it is hard to keep refs.

Oh the irony! If there is no state tournament this year, then there is no 4 time undefeated high school state champ at 220...

Mpire you may be thinking of Scott High School, rather than Scott County High School. I think Scott High is up there around your area.

Franklin County will be #2 behind Woodford.

But Clay is ranked number 2 and he's just a "decent wrestler?"

I got confused. I was thinking about Lopez. Who I don't think is wrestling this year.

Carr vs Clay. Those guys have battled for years, and now it is their senior year. I saw Clay wrestle today. He has man strength now.

Good camp here. The college wrestlers are running the camp and doing a great job!

I have met Mpire once and he's a nice, laid back guy. That's all I have to say about WHS98's post.

LOL!

LOL, I know which mom you are talking about!

Yeah I think it is a combination of all these factors, so I wanted to throw parents in as well. Woodford County comes to mind. They always have lots of parents involved.

Parents. The top teams always have a lot of parents in attendance at meets.
