Pretty good, tough tourney held in Massalin(sp) Oh. We've took Blue to it before, he placed. It's just a step below the Ohio TOC from what I was told.
-
I'd love to take Blue to some of these open houses but with his baseball hitting the busy season it's hard to get out to them. Maybe I get hit one next weekend well be in northern Ky playing some baseball games. Maybe he can sneak out for a while.

Josh Humphreys is a man child. He would beat any middle schooler in Ky 100lbs and under without question. Heck he could beat some of the high school 106lbers ...lol. He's a beast.

First let me say My son will wrestle in youth state regardless of the setup. Secondly I would prefer set weight classes but I understand why some don't want/like them. But if you don't think some kids(not all but some) feel unsatisfied based on competition just ask Blue next time you see him. Was he happy to win state the times he's won it sure. But did he think the tourney was very tough, best, or most fun he had wrestling I'm positive what his answer will be.
Saying that were ok with any setup and will show up to wrestle no matter which it is.
P.S.

Looks like Ky got a great team assembled

sorry but your preaching to the choir they`re stuck where they`re at and don`t want to change it
Your right again

Man you got a lot of time "Bluesdad"! if your kid loves it and you're willing to sacrifice (a lot of dads don't really know what that means), blue will be on that list soon enough. Don't forget to enjoy the process by the way, because it flies by.
Willing to sacrifice, sacrifice is all we do. Traveling 3 to 6 hours away in surrounding states every weekend to find matches in the youth circuit. Practice 5 days a week 45 minutes from my house. I put the money and time in and he supplies the blood, sweat, and tears. So this dad and son very much knows what that means.
I enjoy it very much. I enjoy all the sports he plays.
The following Hayes kids will be returning.
State qualifiers with new 2013-2014 weights
Bradley Miller 75-80
Brandon Miller 80-86
Spencer Carmen 113
Blake Denny 152/168 Placed 5th (152)
Ray Karl Irving 190 Place 4th (168)
Chris Benton 230 Placed 1 st youth state

Blue has worked with the St Paris Graham bunch before, their great with the guys. When is your camps I'd love to bring him up. Sounds like it's going to be a great camp.

Yeah your right he lost to Sheffer in a high school match believe.
-
Garret McCloud will be back also. He wrestled well last year. Lost to Dylan Gray And Sheffer at state. Those were his only 2 loses of the year in middle school. He should be on the list.
-
Yeah Gamble was just a 7th grader last year and he wrestled in a weight class to heavy for him IMO.
-
I agree 100%
-
-
I wish Blue could've made it but he tweaked his knee and hasnt been wrestling for about 3 weeks now. Next year hopefully.
-
So will kids not in the 6th grade still be eligible to compete?
-
I'm down if anyone else is
-
All to heavy for my boy
-
Well that's sucks.
-
I'm 100% agree with you.
-
I believe all challenges have to be ask for and performed before wrestling begins. Is that correct?

We would really appreciate clarification on weight checks as well. When they are conducted does affect the weight class for some wrestlers. For example, my son will easily weigh in under 55 at a morning weigh in, but after having a protein bar, apple and some Gatorade, he will be over 55. He weighs between 54.3-54.8, and after nationals yesterday afternoon, he weighed 56.1. Staying hydrated during a tourney is important as I'm sure we'd all agree.
I have registered him at 55, and he has wrestled at that weight the last 4 Saturdays, two of which conducted real weigh ins. I've asked when the checks will be conducted a couple times with no response. It really does matter for kids on the edge of a weight class. I'd prefer to know ahead of time so there is no confusion the day of the tourney.
Same identical situation with Blue. More clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have one that I can bring. Not a team. Is that alright?
