The KY Fair grounds charges about $8 to park! And that's this years cost; with the "new" theme park coming, they'll probably jack up that cost even more. Plus it's a little walk to the arena once there. The Fair grounds usually has several things going on at the same time (flea markets, other shows, etc). .

And I always thought Ref's where the most hated people there-- nope, dude with knife

This year seemed to run a lot smoother than last year-- not to mention we got out of there somewhat earlier, but still a long day. Two observations. (1) should they have an ambulance on site for the state tourny? I mean, I believe it was either 3-4, or 5-6 place kid broke arm or something to arm. Called 911 and seem to take them for ever to show up. Sure, there are trainers on-site and others, but at some point kid has to go to hospital. Guess its a $$ game to have or not have.

I was really surpised to see/hear that DeSales' 120 (??) kid who had only lost 1x-2x this season, runner-up at KOB-- didn't wrestle at that weight. The bleecher talk was he packed on too much weight and had to wrestle at a higher class due to injury. Didn't fare too well against bigger/stronger kids. Didn't even place.

Dudley from DeSales is out due to a freak spine injury. Word is his wrestling career is over, however, after few days in hospital he is up and walking.

Region 3 started this year. Last year, poor planning, poor seeding, poorly run tourny-- SEVERAL kids had to come back on SUNDAY due to the 5 match rule. SUNDAY??? That's after sitting there all crazy day Saturday. Don't get me started again-- I voiced my displeasure last year and the tourny director about blew a fit over my comments. OH WELLLLLLLLLL.

I don't believe DeSales will be there, as they were going to Danville.

To me there are 2 issues here. First- tourny's such as out at S. Oldham yesterday. According to the t-shirts, 29 teams there, and each class had about 20 kids. That's way too much for a 1-day tourny. Second- if you were not seeded and continued to win- there was NO WAY you could place. We had a kid go 4-1, not seeded, but won-won-and won, but due to the 5-match rule had to forefit in the placement round. Sad sad rule.

I know DeSales is sending some guys, albeit, smaller team than normal. The school is also hosting a JV sectional, so some of their underclassmen will be attending that.

Sorry- can't be correct, as LaRue County is shown under Region 6 small school (which wrestles this coming weekend), but they have already competed.

I believe 22- but don't hold me to that.

DeSales kid lost in semi's, but won in cons -- wrestling for 3rd place

LOL-- have to love the picks, as it's funny the names that are NOT listed. Not saying some of those guys aren't good or deserve to be there, but really?? Unless you are planning on quite a few upsets, some interesting things are going to be happening at Moore this weekend.

WOWWW.... how powerful is that MESSAGE! I've seen the clip several times, but never gets old. I've told people about the wrestling community, the kids, how they (most of time) cheer for their friends, or the under-dog, or other schools. Many times, it's the same kids that you'd never think your son would cheer for. Given the events of recent- thank you for sharing-- and thank God for great coaches, parents, ref's and wrestlers who show the true meaning of Winning.

I've heard DeSales has a full-squad, and most of the guys has exp. Lots of Jr and Srs on team, with good quality underclassmen. Should be interesting to see how all the teams play out.
