    Jason thanks again for your hard work. Some people don’t realize the time and effort you put into this. 

    #earnednevergiven

    Don’t talk to me about this “Brad Calipari” hash tag crap about earned never given. We drove 2 hours one way “4 hours all together” 3 days a week last year just so Blue could practice and wrestle middle school last year because his school didn’t offer it. He works his tail off and he has never been given anything. He’s earned everything hes accomplished in 3 sports and academics. 

    Ive never tried to take anything away from Jason. He works his tail off and does a great job. In fact I send him information about kids in my area to help him with his rankings. I know how hard of a job he has with his rankings. Jason is a good guy and does a great job and I never said other wise. So to say I said other wise is nonsense.

    Calm down Bluesdad. Preseason rankings mean nothing. How about your kid wins a few high school matches before you get your panties in a wad about stupid rankings. 

    Dont be one of those dads, it’s not cool

    First off I didn’t take anything personal so I don’t need to calm down. Blue will take care of his self on the mat. Nothing was enough remotely said out of they way on my side. Anyone that knows me knows what kind of dad and person I am. So to imply anything else is ludicris. So think what you want. That’s your bussiness. I wouldn’t post anything on here I wouldn’t say to someone’s face. Notice I’m not trying to hide who I am with a fake screen name.

    Gene you can take it personal if you want, but it’s going to be a long 4 years. Not to mention you could have simply texted me to ask. for the other example you gave the ranked kid has HS matches so I ranked the kid who would be highest. 

    Jason, I didn’t take anything personal. I just stated facts.

    At this point I left the returning state qualifier in the lineup. As soon as I seem the team compete with a different roster I will update. 

    That would be a reasonable argument if you didn’t do the exact opposite at 132 with Blayden Sexton and Reece Goss. My only point is that everyone knows Blue will be in the starting lineup for JC.

    How about Dylan Preston and Reece Goss at Johnson Central? Different Dylan Preston? 

    I don’t think the JC Dylan Preston is going to wrestle this year. Hope I’m wrong but doesn’t look like he will this year. Reece Goss has looked really good so far early in practice. JC has some solid young wrestlers on the mats  this year.

    During post season I had the privilege of coaching the MS National Dual Team. So I’ll focus on the freshman class. I agree with Dr Baker on his list. Some freshman that I think will make a run and are hungry. Levid Rodriquez from JC will be a beast to contend with the next 4 years, you’ll get to know his name! Kolby Koepp from McCracken is hard working and has a lot of talent. Jo-el Hatchett with St X has some raw talent and funk. He’ll be fun to watch. Issac Thorton will take Grant County back to state this year and should be on a mission. Although he wasn’t able to go with us, Blue Fletcher also with JC is a bull. Depending on where he falls in weight,will be interesting as he looks like he continues to  get big. Spencer Moore fitting into WV line up,at most likely 106, will have a great freshman year. And, I may be bias but I also think Noah Duke and Cole Thomas from Ryle could have a solid year. All in all, we have so many great kids with talent throughout the state and these are just a few of the great freshman.  Good luck to all of these young men and woman as they start another grind!!!

    The freshman class is loaded. There’s a lot of talent in this state for the 2022.

    Restate a bunch of thank you’s

     

    Joe Burroughs (No-Ox) and Isaac Knable (Invicta) have supported the event every year with donations and helping facilitate wrestlers participating. Great, great men. I encourage everyone who lives in their area to reach out to them and work with these guys. 

    The great officials who volunteer their time to help build our sport. Garrett Pikul, Joe Cattan, and Jason Sidoras all did a fabulous job yesterday. 

    My wife Amber does a ton behind the scenes to help keep me sane as I prepare for this stuff, but also jumps in to work the gate with little ones running all over. She is the best.

    The Moore HS crew did a very good job hosting.  It’s not easy to get a gym, but then get help to set up, work the table, then clean.  Very good job.

    Robert Tucker has saved me many hours on the road by helping out and also helped a lot with nailing down the bouts.

    Darren Thomas is a great announcer and takes care of all the music which is much more complicated than you could imagine.  

    Thanks to the college coaches who support this every year.  Appreciate them being there and hope the event helps them snag a couple extra wrestlers.

    Thanks to Brandon for flying in from his new sunny home in Florida to see this event.  

    Wrestlers were amazing yesterday.  A lot of exciting action.  We lost a great class of seniors, but still have a lot of hammers in KY.

    Thanks to all those who came out to support the event and these kids.  But this is an area we need to improve upon.  There were 87 paid spectators.  Is that really all the interest we have in watching the best kids in our state compete?  I understand that “coaches” built up the number in the gym, but if we can’t get 100 people to spend a couple hours watching our all stars then it is tough to see it growing in the future.

     

    I’d love to make the event but it’s kinda hard to make the 3 1/2 hour hike after football, weights, and church from eastern Ky. If it could be held in the Lexington area “2 hour hike” I believe you’d get a few people from eastern Ky make the trip and take in the event. I know it’s hard to please everyone but this is a great event that everyone would enjoy.

    Actually, you have the 75 pound state champ moved up to 80 pounds. So, that should leave that weight open to Colin Tucker of Wayne since he placed second, if he was interested. If not, that place should only be automatically filled if there was only one kid wanting to take that spot. And if you are wanting to take the best team possible from Kentucky, there should be wrestle offs for the open spots. And I’m not sure how Jake Cain can be left off the team. Even though he lost to Kinley and Walls in the Middle School tournament, he turned around and beat both of them in the High School state tournament. I think he should be offered a chance to make the team as well. 

    Heres what I’d tell ya. It sucks. Blue is a top 5 middle school wrestler in the state regardless of weight class. But you know what he got beat at state and that keeps him off the team. Give the kids that beat them a little hand clap and wish them luck they earned it that day. There’s kids that deserve to be on the team that will not be on it. That’s just the natural of the beast. Good luck team Ky.
