    Please put the ranking team together . We have 3 people so far that said they will help. Thanks for coordinating. Sunday is a big day for wrestling with the release of the state draws. It would be nice to have top 8 ranked at least. I love to follow all weight classes at state and rankings are key. Our wrestling is improving in the state but our coaches and admins aren't keeping pace. Thank you to the 3 that have volunteerd.

    all i am saying is if you take on a job, then finish it. if you no longer have the time then pass the torch.

    jason, i feel you have apologized for doing absolutely nothing wrong. in fact i thank you for calling out the coaches who dont help you. these are probably the same coaches who whine about not having enough kids on their team. ridiculous. we feel your pain as well, we can rarely get results of any of the meets across the state. i have a challenge for you, next year please come to us, the community and try and get your answers. i am sure we will all do our best to help.

    Fact of the matter is if we dont do a good job promoting ourselves and producing rankings , wrestling will never be taken seriously by the media. Cant blame them, if we cant keep our own house in order why should they be made to come fix us up. As far as rankings go, Ranger has been a huge disappointment. He put in many hours of hard work over the years and that is much appreciated, but to just walk away from doing the rankings consistently without an official "retire" notice, is rude. Ranger went out of his way to prove the old KHSAA rankings were illagitament and to compare his rankings to theirs in the hopes to prove how much better he was.He got his way and they quit doing them and even adopted using his rankings as official for the state meet. So i dont wanna hear anyone coming to his defense in saying he just did it "for the boys" as an unselfish act, wrong. He did it for his own ego as well. I fully understand he has better things to do, i get it, but at least announce your walking away so a new Ranger can step up.

    ALL "A" WRESTLING STATE TOURNAMENT

    So it appears that the all "A" classic is sponsored by Touchstone Energy. If wrestling was to be added to the list of sports and sponsored by Touchstone, then I see 1 really good reason for the schools to attend and that is scholarship money. Touchstone gave out 49 scholarships of no less than 1000 dollars to each recipient last year alone, and a total of 77,000. They currently have 8 sports/arts that they equally divide the scholarships amongst. Wrestling makes 9. So you would assume anywhere from 5-6 senior only wrestlers would get a minimum of 1000 dollars to apply to their college education. By my count, and i will include the current member school list below, there are 12 schools that currently have wrestling on the member list. Any school can apply to be a member school and must meet an obvious enrollment criteria that changes every year. I can say that if Walton Verona goes this route to start this tournament that schools may just change their schedules a bit. Because you can either take home a medal or a 1000 bucks. Might not take so long after all ranger. ALL ‘A’ CLASSIC SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION 2010-2011 YEAR GENERAL INFORMATION: The Touchstone Energy All ‘A’ Classic is pleased to again announce the availability of non-renewable scholarships/grants-in-aid awarded annually to deserving seniors from Kentucky’s small high schools who will be continuing their ucation at a post-secondary school within the state of Kentucky. ed ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: To be eligible, an applicant must: 1.

    Middle State Surpises or Shockers

    pinandwin, did you mean to post that under "superdave" ? the fact i mentioned another posters name must have thrown you off ( i see why you are worried about your son,genetics and all). but it appears your son did just fine without getting alot of chatter on this forum,unlike his dad, that is if you are his real dad. you may consider a paternity test, GOO could be the father.

    Middle State Surpises or Shockers

    superdave, if your kids arent reaching there full potential at wrestling because someone posted that another kid was really good , then you have bigger problems than stupid posts. it is the parents job to help a kid reach there full potential and to teach them to believe in themselves no matter what others may say about them or there opponent. if your child gets on here and falls to pieces because everyone is talking about how good other kids are then you may need to seek some counseling for your child and yourself.

    Biggest Shocker or Let down: Individual and Team

    2 things polo. my god tells me not to judge, but since you are obviously a christian i dont need to tell you that and secondly if myron did this i am sure he was just showing the IQ of those who judge.

    Biggest Shocker or Let down: Individual and Team

    polo, myron will be fine. i have been around him a few times over the years. yes he likes to have fun, but i have never seen him get out of line. he is a good kid and to suggest anything otherwise and to post a comment on his character based upon a one time event during a fire alarm or expression of joy, is riduculously stupid. lets look at this from the correct perspective before judging this kid, he had pressure on him to win from freinds, family, school , and self. going into the week before this match, his matchup with hall was the only gaurenteed head to head with ryle in the finals. you dont think he didnt know that was a huge team points swing for his school to take a title out of the hands of ryle. let alone the massive pressure from his previous matchup with hall. oh yeah, did i mention he was a senior. this kid had more pressure on his shoulders than heart surgeon operating on his own child. so who are you to judge his character. who are you to say he isnt already a good person. hell yeah myron, pump your arms, flex your muscles, throw your headgear in release of emotions. i dont believe too many people in this world are capable of dealing with what you just went through. your character was displayed in those 6 minutes on the mat, not the 5 seconds after. myron for president 2012.
