    I just cant buy safety as a primary reason why people are against it.  I'm all for keep the kids safe, but this seems silly.  Are these same people opposed to lightweight mats vs the resilite mats?  I'm sure those same "professionals" would agree the old style mats are safer.  Was that decision put to a vote?  

    Also, you mentioned there is a small difference between practice and live tournaments...I'd argue the difference is huge.  In live tournaments, you have a referee watching the matches.  If and when a kid gets tangled up in a bad position (happens all the time now in singlets), the ref's job is to stop the match.  Most live go's in a practice room are like the Wild Wild West!  There is very little supervision with kids wrestling wearing whatever they want.  Are we going to vote on practice attire too? 

    If a team thinks it could help improve their #'s, then they should be permitted to do so.  I don't see why it should even come to a vote.  

     

     

    Great point.  I know when Mason was in middle school he was going live a lot longer during the week of practice than he did on Saturdays.  Stop the madness.

    Hell we should make all the kids practice in a singlet if that was is the case.  I have been endangering my kid for years.  Bad parent.

    I think we should give them the choice.  I love hearing about anything that would get more kids involved.  It is funny hearing Adam talk about the 972 trainers opinions that they might get hurt wearing a shirt and shorts.  Considering they practice 5 days a week in shorts and a tee shirt.  Then they wrestle 2-5 matches that are a minute and a half long on any given weekend.  I would say they would be OK.  Lets look for positive solutions vs. negative feedback.

    Not to mention if i decided to wrestle in the bluegrass games i would prefer a shirt and shorts over a singlet.  Which would you wear Adam?:D

    Ranger and I sat down on Tuesday and started updating rankings.  We also started making phone calls to see who would be interested in wrestling.  We don't not have a date set but we are working on the possiblitly of having the 2nd KY All Star Classic.  If it happens it would be early October.

    Just for fun.  What matches would you like to see?

    Thanks to dutch we can clearly see Casey should have had 2, and been in the finals.

    I say it was clearly a reversal. Worse case should have been loss of control and awarded an escape.  Regardless Casey handled it like a champ. Great job.

    Region 5 at least deserves to be in the discussion

    I could see region 5 having the most champions (4 favorites) with as many as 9 in the finals.

    With Meiman out.   region 6 may only have 4-6 in finals with Cornett as only favorite

    Looks like Meiman is back.  He is listed @182 for Regionals.

    Ranger and I went over all the Regional brackets that were posted last night.  4 of the 8 regions were up.  We were scratching our heads looking at the seeding criteria.  We noticed that some regions went off win% and overlooked the head to head.  It looked like some coaches entered the head to head and some didn't bother.  

    I have to say i was a little baffled that coaches would not do everything in their power to make sure their wrestlers were seeded correctly.  I did think it was funny to see coaches put in the kids ranking under criteria.  Maybe that trumps head to head.

    Not knocking anybody, please work on reading comprehension. Or, get over yourself. The world is not one huge conspiracy theory as you tend to believe it is. I asked what is up w/ Erdman as I expected to see him cruise. That is in no way a knock. No way. 

    Back to the event......WV with two in the semis, Roth and Moore (pin, tech, pin). Castellano from SK also in the semis.

    That would be 3 Walton Verona wrestlers in the semi's. Mason Smith is in.

    There really isn't a set schedule. Just depends on the volume of activity and updates. I have one ready to go just waiting for Dutch to finish and come out of his basement (he's been working like crazy on it the last few weeks). Hope to post tonight or tomorrow evening (traveling to Union Co tonight so I might be delayed). 

    I am almost finished. Darn crown molding was a last minute add for the wife. Ugh
