I to would be for seeding the High School state tourney but even with seeding its not a sure thing. The middle school seeds its 4 regional champions and it works good for the most part but it still doesn't guarantee much. At this years middle school tourney they were only 1 weight that came out with the top 4 seeded kids placing top 4. The 80lb class came out the top 4 placing exactly how they were seeded with 2 number 2 seeds placing 5th and 6th.

I believe Gamble can beat Johnson but Johnson would for sure be the favorite in the match. Geordon Blanton is one that I believe Is ready to take a huge step forward at state this year also.

Gamble has been wrestling well. I look for him to turn a few heads this weekend. Johnson County as a whole has been doing well on the mats lately. I think JC will suprise a few folks at state.

95 is the year im talking about. The 2nd year Matney won state at SCHS. In 93 Bruce did win state.

No Bruce didnt win a state the first year Matney won his first state title. 93 May not be the year but I think it is. Sheldon Clark had 5 to finish runner up that year. Bruce won state the following 3 years

Coach Matney at Sheldon Clark won his first state title in 93 without any state champions. But he did have 5 runner ups.

I second Mr. Lenhart's comments. Thank you.

We're very proud of the whole Johnson County team they all wrestled great as a team. But I want to give a shout out to my son Blue Fletcher for placing 4th as a 5th grader. Also want to give Noah Duke some praise for placing 2nd as a 5th grader. This state has some great young wrestlers right now it's future is bright.

I thought it was a good ran tournament with some great wrestling. It was very enjoyable the kids had a lot of fun.

Who's the teams from each region voted in. Region 4 is sending McNabb.

How will the pools be broken down?

I don't have the brackets the folks at JC had a youth tourney today and I'm sure that's why they haven't been posted. I'll try to make sure they are posted in the morning. But no they weren't any brackets with less than 4 in them.

I don't have the brackets I'll try to get them sometime today and post them. But here's a few I remember. 70- 1) Giompalo Martin Co 2) Bannifield McNabb 3) Auxier Johnson Co2 75- 1) Matney JC 80- 1) Fletcher JC 2) Cain MC 3) Detasis McNabb 4) Martinez McCreary Co 86- 1) Hudgins Harrison Co 3) Auxier JC 92- 1) Hudgins HC 2) Webb JC 98- 1) Stafford MC 121- 1) Smith MC 2) Fraley JC 140- 1) Begley MC 152- 1) Jackson JC 2) Owens JC2 168- 1)Horn JC 2)Blanton HC 190- 1) Horn JC 240- 1) Pierce JC Wished I could remember more but that all I got right now. Team standing 1) Johnson Co 2) Harrison Co 3) McMabb

Edmond Collins also pinned Stacy at Grundy

District 8 had a few schools miss school today because of weather. Because of this there will be an extra pound on top of the growth allowance for districts tomorrow. Good luck and safe travels to everyone.

152 is going to be a tough class in region 4. Johnson Co 168 is there to. Johnson Co will also have a few kids make noise that no ones talking about.

District 8 Johnson County MS Region 4 Ashland

I agree with you on that.

I agree great idea. Stafford placed 3rd behind Tucker and Gentry.

I agree but I like the idea someone on here had last year. I don't remember who it was. But they said hold 3 major tourneys a year. One out west, one central located, and one here in the east. That way everyone would get to see everyone.

No one said it was anyone's fault anyone isnt seen. I wasn't complaining I actually said the list looked pretty good. I was just stating facts.

I think you guys do a good job with only seeing a hand full of kids at this time. I'm just saying there will be some kids that surprise you when you see them. If their not on the list now they will be at the end of the year. There are kids from JC that has beat a number of the kids on the list. All be it last year which means nothing. But all in all the rankings are pretty good like I said.

Leaving a few kids off the list from Johnson County. Glad to see Joe Jackson is getting the respect but Johnson County will have a few more kids earn some respect before its all over. But overall the list looks pretty good.
