Now we just need the state to seed the 8 region champs. I don't want to see Sheffer and Johnson wrestling anytime before the finals.

We did not get a chance to see the results from the Wolverine tournament prior to the updates we did early this week. I do agree that there were several solid wins from Dixie and a few others schools. These results will be taken into consideration on the next set of rankings that will be posted prior to the regional tournaments.
We will also be adding Tyland Tucker to the rankings @126.
Good luck to all the wrestlers.

120 is the most stacked weight class I have seen in a long time. I would not be shocked if anyone of the top 10 guys won that weight class. The battle will start in the quarters and continue all the way thru the placement rounds. This will be the bracket to pay attention to.

I voted 10 times. Hopefully it worked. I will make sure to have all my friends do the same.
If he wins will you be throwing a pizza party? I love Larosa's pizza.

I think we are all looking forward to State Duals. There are a few highly anticipated matches coming. Hopefully coaches will allow these matches to take place.

10 hours ago, DrBaker said:Johnson Centrals big boys are gonna surprise some people.
Considering their big boys from 152 - 285 are all ranked in the top ten I don't think anyone will be to surprised.

We will be there cheering Austin on.

I am assuming Woodford did not have their entire line up in. Did Tucker and Bender wrestle?

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about Mason. I also wanted to thank all the coaches that have worked with him since these days.....
Coach Roth sent me that picture last night. I remember Mason would go crazy if he couldn't find that darn Under Armour Shirt.
I am very proud of Mason making the commitment to serve his country. Go Army!!! Beat Navy!!!

Sheffer 132
Saul 138
Micah 152
Just throwing that out there. Am I close?

39 minutes ago, Washedupwrestler said:I guess we had to go in order to know who won the matches lol. Curious as to see how i did on my predictions. The anticipation is killing me lol. Its like waiting for the blind draw at state haha
You were almost 100% with one exception. Wheeler over Yost.
We will have a recap coming soon. Unfortunately we did not get back to NKY until late and we had to go to work today.
It was a great event with some great wrestlers.

Here is the flyer. We would love to have a packed gym to kick the season off. In our video we discussed any profits we made would be donated back to the wrestlers in the state. If we happen to get out of the red this year we will have something to give the wrestlers at the state tournament.
Hope to see you there.

I read an interesting article today from USA wrestling. This might shed some light on the silly debate about letting kids wear something besides a singlet. My opinion is that a certain people that had their own agenda about changing the middle school uniform. Stating safety issues blah, blah, blah.
Hopefully the opinion of some very well known wrestling coaches will carry some more weight than people who have probably never wrestled a day in their life. I know this is a little out of character of me to be so outspoken but I think we need to embrace some changes in our philosophy as a wrestling community. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I want what is best for the kids. I have had a wrestling facility at my house for years and have always welcomed any wrestler to practice at my house regardless of the school they attend or if they are even direct competition to my son. I have also devoted a lot of time working on rankings, camps at my house, and even the 2nd All-Star dual which is not profitable. Just ask Ranger. All with the intention of making kids better.
I have been lucky to make some great friends which include kids, parents, and the guys I have coached with for years. These have been some of the best years going through this journey with my son and my fellow coaches, parents, and wrestlers.
My point is that I would love to do anything possible to get other kids to participate in the sport. Maybe the kids and their parents would have the opportunity to share some of the great experiences I have had during my journey. For anyone that has traveled all over the country as a group understands the bonds you create with people. Lots of stadiums, gyms, cramped cars, and hotel rooms.
So if we could gain just one more wrestling family by giving them the option to wear a compression uniform, I say do it. We need to implement change and quit finding all the negatives about it.
I will get off my soap box now but I do feel better.

State Medals
in High School Wrestling
Posted · Report reply
Seeding would actually be very simple. We would have a conference call with the coaches of all regional champs. Those coaches would hopefully be prepared to make a case for the seeding of their wrestlers. Head to head, common opponent, previous state placement, record, etc. I'm sure we could come up with the criteria. We currently use the same system for the middle school. I would think that most people would be for this.
