I can't find the flyer for this. Is it still on? Thanks.

Scott Co HS hopes to bring a couple of kids!

Scott Co High School Monday and Friday 4:15 - 6:00 Scott Co Youth Tues and Thurs 6:00 - 7:30 Must have USA wrestling card.

I am trying to put together a good training routine for my team. As of know we are lifting 2 days a week. Advice, lifts and other training methods are welcome. If you have one that you go by please upload it. Thanks!

I believe if you cut middle school student athletes out of high school wrestling, there will be a noticable regression in the competition. I understand about safety, but if the wrestler can hold their own and their parents agree with them competiting at a higher level, then it should be fine. There is also the point of not being able to fill full teams. Sure some kids will take some lumps if they start as a 7th grader, but by the time they are a frosh or soph, they'll be the ones dominating. I'm going to go with the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Interesting nothing was said about basketball. I remember when I was in Middle School we had a kid who had significantly playing time for the high school basketball team as a 7th and 8th grader.

As far as his weight, I've seen plenty of wrestlers gain +15 lbs over one summer and he is only a Soph. If he does gain weight I would suspect him to still wrestle the same.

Looks great! Makes me want to leave work right now!

Thank you again Ranger. You make the sport more fun and interesting. So much for your rankings not being "accurate" or "trustworthy."

I believe Todd Allen had a pretty decent career after high school. Maybe nothing like Dominic Black, but good in his own right.

Let the best wrestler wrestle. One of my teammates, who was a Frosh first year wrestler, got beat by a 7th grader (2 yrs exp) for the starting spot. I believe he eventually one the spot back, I'm not for sure. He worked his butt of everyday of practice and eventually cracked the starting line up and was very successful for our team. If this scenario had not played out he may not have worked as hard and not achieved as much. You need people to push you no matter the age of the wrestler. Plus think what type of leader the MS can become by the time he is a Frosh or Soph with as much varsity experience or more than some of the upper classman. It is hard for me to visualize a situation where having MS wrestle up doesn't improve your wrestling room.

I think most of the state is. Lexington has an advisory from 2 pm today till 2 pm tomorrow.

These two websites trackwrestling.com and nwca.com have results.

I would welcome any kid and any grade. I think an explanation of what is going on may be in order so they know practice won't be basic but more advanced and conditioning will only get tougher. The longer they have to wait to get on the mat the further they get behind. Being part of a new program I have encouraged my wrestlers to get their friends out and participate and I encourage them to wrestle throughout the summer. The best way to gain experience is to participate.

We could start splitting the state to "years of experience." Wouldn't that be the best competitive advantage? Schools with 1-5 years wrestle each other in their own state duals and indvidual state. That would help the competition level, right? I know several large schools that can't fill a roster so that argument should be invalid. Terrible idea. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Let the best teams from each region compete.

Thank you for all your hard work Ranger! Very nice rankings.

We have them every week normally on Monday/Tuesday. The reason it can span over 2 days is because the challenger has to win twice and the varsity wrestler just has to win once. So if varisty is challenged on Monday and they lose they have to wrestle again on Tuesday. If varsity wins Monday they challenger has to wait until next Monday to challnege again. Ran as a regular wrestling match 3 2 minute peiods.

Team and individual results?

Chris Baxter of Scott County won first at 145 @ Tates Creek Inv. Beat Jordan Tucker 11th @ 138, Josh Phillips 22nd @ 145, and Ing from Spencer Co @145 in finals. Ing beat TJ Schuyler 16th @145 in the semis.

New Rankings after the holidays?

Brackets or Live Updates?

Scott Co. has a Facebook page.

<p style="margin-left: 40px">I would have to say that 138 will be the toughest. You are basically combining 135 and 140 of last year. This will be a very competitive class.</p>

I have wrestled with music and coached with it and without it. As a wrestler it really helped me, especially during conditioning. As a coach I can see that it has a positive impact on practice and the general mood of the wrestlers. They seem to work harder and have more of an upbeat attitude.
