    We can all agree that the past year has been challenging, to say the least. Kids doing work online, parents trying to help them with their work, teachers struggling to teach a curriculum to a bunch of faces/avatars on a screen and coaches of all sports stressing about the limits put on them have all made this a difficult time. Academically speaking, most kids do not have the tools to do what's being asked of them. Sure, there are some students that will always excel, but those are the top 2-5%. The rest need the guidance of the teachers and parents to understand the subject matter. We also have asked the teachers to do something that they were not trained to do. When they were student-teaching, they did so in a classroom setting. Our administration decided to keep the curriculum the same as usual and expected the staff to implement it. There are plenty of online education programs with the tools necessary for student success. Many kids in the state, from all grades, have suffered from this lack of planning. This bill is needed for this reason alone. 

    Athletically, I personally noticed a lack of motivation in some kids. The constant dual/tri/quad meets took the individual motivation of "getting the gold" or standing on top the podium (that apparently, we're not allowed to have) away. It was great for team unity and bonding, but individual success doesn't always translate to team success. The ridiculous semi-state format with no wrestle-back, crazy seeding and limited attendance made the 1st and 2nd rounds of "State" the blood round. Many of these athletes were denied a true state tournament experience, especially seniors that qualified for the 1st time. We have some potential state placers ( I can think of three from one semi-state in one weight class) sitting at home this week due to that format. Coaches had to come up with events at the last minute due to cancellations or Covid restrictions. They also had to structure practice time, transportation, ticket allotment and/or streaming options to keep the program within the guidelines set by the all-knowing KHSAA.

    As a parent, I wish that my father could have watched his grand-son in person, at least once, this season. I want that "state" experience for my son and his brothers that qualified for the 1st time. I also want them to have a normal school day. The interaction between students with other students as well as teachers and administrators is vital in the development of all children. The faceless system that they've been operating under this past year is not cultivating that development.

    To answer your question, Chris, about 5-10% of the kids that I have asked said that they were seriously considering it. I selfishly want my son to do it, because he is our youngest of four children and I really am going to miss watching him compete and spending time in the stands with his teammates' families. But, I'm leaving it up to him.

    Great response. I agree with all of this, but as a high school senior, I wanted to get out of there as quick as possible and off to college.

    That is a really good question. LOL.  I will have to look at my research and see exactly what that is. I find mistakes every time I look at my compilation of data. (probably a typo of some kind.)

    Can't seem to find sheldon clark. Martin County will have to start a new list if branson smith wins it. Faridale aka Fairdale

    10.       Christian County                    22

    What were those numbers 15 years ago? I wonder how quickly Union climbed up that list.

    What do you mean by 'record' for most unbeaten guys? Teams total who have finished undefeated? 

    I think he means most undefeated guys entering the state tournament. In a normal year a lot of these top wrestlers compete out of state and against each other but due to covid most major tournaments were cancelled.

    Agreed!!! The whole MS experience has been top notch for years!! Heck Oh-Way just had 10 mats, podiums faceoffs and fans too!! Who wants to place a wager that the team trophy will be on the floor with the winning team celebrating at Rupp Arena for the Boys and Girls basketball. So   Wrestling coaches, what are we going to do? Scotty Teater what can be done on behalf of the association?

    Have to fight back. No other choice. I was told by a former coach in the wrestling hall of fame that “It’s time for the coaches to grow a pair and step up and challenge the KHSAA”.

    You have to make sure you go through the entire grid so get total seeding points. Weird things can happen where a kid loses a point to a “lower” guy and drops him in the overall order. 

      Head To Head Common Place Record
    Isaac Thornton 1-0 (cain) tied 2 14-0
    Eli Peyton 1-0 (hoppes) tied NP 21-1
    Thomas Hoppes 0-1 tied 2 33-1
    Jacob Cain 0-1  tied 4 35-1

     

    Cain lost to Thornton so he is behind Thornton. Hoppes lost to Peyton, so he is behind Peyton. Hoppes placed 2nd so he is ahead of Cain. 
    Should be 1 Thornton, 2 Peyton, 3 Hoppes, 4 Cain.

    132 is puzzling, but I thought it should have gone Thornton, Peyton, Hoppes. 

    That is how I had it. Following criteria, I only had a handful where I couldn't predict the order. Thornton undefeated and runner up, Peyton ahead of Hoppes for head to head, Hoppes 1 loss and returning runner up. Cain has one loss but placed 4th. It has to be fixed somehow. 

    Trinity still has 102 points eventhough their semistate score was corrected to reflect only 100 team points. 


  10. Tried to follow seeding criteria:
    -Head to head
    -Common opponent
    -State placement
    -Overall record win percentage (if tied, went with kid who has more victories)

    4 unranked kids made it through. 
    6 ranked 20-25

    9  ranked 15-19

    15 top 5 didn’t make it. 
     

    Michael Barren, Julian Tackett, thank you for being insouciant in your decisions this year towards the kids. You have made many enemies, I’d imagine everyone in the wrestling community besides Coach Matney. Your negligence in decision making has given the KHSAA a black eye that no words you can express will wipe away the stain. Hope to have a candid and concrete conversation with you next week at state. Congrats to the kids that qualified. They went through the rigors of a season dictated by the KHSAA, Tackett, and Barren, but many kids were left at home in order to check the box of “having” a wrestling state tournament. I hope the KHSAA and BOC sleeps well at night knowing audacity they had to ignore the recommendations from the Kentucky wrestling community.

    Evansville Reitz, Indiana just located across from Henderson is looking for another team to fill their Hill Classic tourney.  Unless otherwise noted, there are the following teams:  McCracken Co, Owensboro, Ft. Campbell, Pike Central Indiana and 
    Evansville Reitz.  Just need one more team so that all teams get five duals.    Contact 812-746-7288 or scott.ferguson@evsck12.com
