  1. A post on the Indiana forums got me thinking about how school's all time teams would look. I decided to use the "modern era" of 32 man state brackets as the cutoff. Kept the weight classes lined up, even though some overlap. 

    Union:

    103/106 Zeke Escalera Champ
    112/113 Trayce Eckman* Champ
    119/120 Saul Ervin 3x Champ
    125/126 Jayce Carr 2x Champ
    130/132 Brock Ervin 5x Champ
    135/138 Bryce Sheffer 4x Champ
    140/145 Caleb Ervin 3x Champ
    145/152 Mitch Ervin 2x Champ
    152/160 Dalton Russelburg* 2x Champ
    160/170 Stephen Little* Champ
    171/182 Micah Ervin 2x Champ
    189/195 Thomas Buckman Champ
    215/220 Darius Moore* 2nd
    275/285 Mathias Ervin 3x Champ

     

    *Still in High School
    Champs left off: Jarvis (Rudd) Elam, Trae Blackwell, Aaron Carr, Isaac Ervin, Luke Ervin, Max Ervin, Jackson Oxford, Isaac Thomas, Jake Insko, maybe more?

    I believe he is saying what if 3 wrestlers all end up with 6 points based on the criteria.   And end in a tie.   Then what?   Wrestler A wins criteria point over wrestler B.   Wrestler B holds criteria point over wrestler C.  Wrestler C holds criteria point over wrestler A.   All 3 wrestlers hold criteria over everyone else in the tourney.   So they all end up with 6 points.   What does the computer do then?   Or do the coaches have a conversation and decide at that point? 

    I believe it is last years state tournament placement then overall record. The KHSAA released those criteria this week. If they all placed 4th last year at state and carry the same win percentage then who knows?

    Seeding a tournament is all about how you look at it.   If you are just worried about separating the better wrestlers its fairly simple.  Or even only worried about separating the best two wrestlers its still usually not a problem.  But if you are trying to get it right, meaning seeding the top 4, 5, or 6 that is when it gets difficult.  I want all the placers to be seeded as close to the final result as possible.  That way the 3rd gets a chance to wrestle the 2nd and the 5th gets a chance to wrestle the 4th.  To truly determine the better wrestler. 

    When you get to the post season I believe that every wrestler should be seeded down to the 16th place or whatever.  A lot of coaches don't like it because that gives the 1st seed a bye and they worry about team points, instead of getting the best wrestlers onto the next round. 

    If people are worried about a first round bye for top seed, do it like Indiana does and the top seed wins their next match, they receive advancement points for the bye as well.

    Yes.  If you started the match and get hurt then it is a loss. 

    If you were hurt in the previous match and default the next without starting the match then it is not a loss. 

    What if you were in the semi-finals and won, but during the match an injury occurred. A sprained ankle for example and could not wrestle the finals. Does your opponent receive a head to head victory over you if you have to forfeit the finals match?

    Maybe I missed it, but very surprised no one has mentioned Saul qualifying for NCAAs. Having a very solid season and now gets his shot at the big dance. 
     

    Hopefully Ben Barton gets that at large bid to make a return trip as well. 

    Went 3-2 at the MAC Championships. Lost to #10 in the semi-finals and lost to #7 in the 3rd place match. Glad he was selected.

    I'm pretty sure they will try to fill. But there may be some cases where they may not even have enough alternates to fill. In hindsight, they could have gone back to 4 regions this year, and a 16 man bracket instead of 5 regions and a 20. Competition wise, there are going to be quite a few kids at state that will be there simply because they weighed in at region. 

    Middle School Region 3 had 12/15 weight classes where everyone who weighed in made state.


  8. As with all things during COVID, we have to be prepared to adapt. With this new ruling from the Governor, I think it’s time the KHSAA adapts in the right direction towards normalcy with the standard protocols and guidelines. These guidelines just so allow for more participation. Do the right thing KHSAA, Julian Tackett, Mike Barren, and board of controls.

    Semi state for region 1 and 2 at 138 is going to be a BANGER!!! Any one of the 8 qualifiers could be on the podium any other year. It’s a bummer SIX of them will be left home.

    It’s what the KHSAA wants to do, take away an opportunity from 40+ top ten wrestlers the shot at top 8.

    I saw this in another thread, but wanted to start a new one to gauge some interest as I thought it was a great idea.  What if there was a USA wrestling sanctioned event/state tournament comprising of the top 4 kids in each region (32 man bracket)? How interesting would that be to everyone?  I have no doubt it would be a first class event run by people who understand and have passion for the sport.  Hopefully we can make it happen.

    Hopefully the week after state and maybe give an extra pound. Definitely something that would be incredible. There’s going to be 24 kids in each weight class not make it to state. So two weeks between wrestling, someone may gain a pound or two

  11. This whole situation is just pathetic. The excuses the KHSAA are coming up with make no sense. Just shows their ignorance when it comes to wrestling tournaments, and wrestling in general. Mike Barren and Julian Tackett, you did this. Hope you get all the backlash you deserve and at least give wrestling a chance next year. Please get someone on the BOC that knows wrestling, will stand up for wrestling, and actually have a backbone to take no for an answer when dumb*ss proposals are presented in the future. It’s for the kids.

  12. Should let 12 kids into state. The 4 semistate winners get first round bye, and that gives 3rd place kids at semi state the chance to wrestle their way back into discussion. But, it won't happen. I know for a fact Mike "Baron" was proposed an option for state over the phone that allowed 32 man brackets, followed protocol by utilizing 4 different gyms (coaching may or may not have been an issue) and allowed spectators. Second day, the top 8 would have been brought back to finish all in the same gym. Coach Dennis Walls, formerly of Union County, was the one who proposed this idea to Julian Tackett and Mike Barren. They said it was a great idea that could definitely work and in Lexington. What they did was take those four sites and made it into a semi-state and brought on only the top 2 from semi-states. 

    We have a BOC that only utilizes athletic directors and pushed out all of the acting wrestling coaches, making it easier for the KHSAA to say screw off, we don't care about wrestling and do it their own way. Have athletic directors that don't have a backbone to stick up for their regions wrestling teams. Every other state tournament has ran normally. Football used Kroger Field. We all know dang well that the Sweet Sixteen will use Rupp Arena, and not be forced to semi-states and only bring in  teams (same ratio they dropped wrestling by) to the actual state tournament. They should be ashamed of themselves.

  13. I went with top 10 to keep it simple. Also went with top 10 teams. Used Rangers latest rankings. "Miss State" is top 10 kids who will not make it to state. There is a big discrepancy between the "semi states". In the team breakdown, "make state" is top 10 kids on given team that are top two in the semi state. Outside qualifiers are kids who are ranked outside of the top ten but top 2 in their given semi state. St. X and Trinity lead the way with 3 kids each ranked outside of the top ten but qualifying for an 8 man state. Eli Mattingly-Neal (#18 @ 126) and Ayden Lehman (#24 @ 132) are some of the big ones that pop out. Lehman did wrestle 126 recently.

    Kid that potentially won't qualify:
    106: Hardin, Campbell, Raney, Matt
    113: Teutsch, McKee, Griffith
    120: Lattin, Benner, Stanley
    126: Quintana, Tucker, Stull, Isaacs
    132: Herron, Ross, Lewis, Nardelli
    138: Stull, James, Andreoni, Johnson, Sproles
    145: Bowers, Chapman
    152: Phan, Grandstaff
    160: Ketchen-Carter, Conrad, Hyden
    170: Slayton, Baker
    182: Riggins, Walls, McWilliams, Haggan
    195: Adams, Whitehead, Hatchett
    220: Boone, Elliston, Brooksbank, Leicht
    285: Mooney, Arthur, Smith

    Some state champs, runner ups, multi time placers that are getting screwed. Some, it is their senior year. Way to go KHSAA
