It’s already finished. Track wrestling has all the results.

At SS#2 I have a complaint. This falls on the shoulders of the tournament director. When you contact him the day before and his best choice for a local place to grab breakfast is First Watch that is an issue. Jnv858 has a lot to learn about running a tournament.

You didn’t miss a thing. Just some Karen bellyaching about how tough the other semi state is at 150.

#23 Seth Davis at 150 finishing 3rd
#27 Kolton Adkins at Hwt finishing 7th

Relax, Ryle runs a great tournament. Kickemout runs a better tournament than the KHSAA with fewer people. We have a few dads we have to keep a close eye on, 44Dad and Ranchy have the attention span of a field mouse and need help from our youth wrestlers just to make sure the ref knows the time. Gameface is on the sound system some good some bad and we can not forget the voice of the Raiders who traveled with Kickemout to Simon Kenton last week to run the regional tournament.

Regionals alone was a catastrophe
(no offense)to central but there was no parking ,no track wrestling dashboard,,no mat assignments ,kids were running the tables and accidentally unplugging the score boards ,missing points because they were on their phone and the concession stand closed 4 hours before the tournament was over .
I’m not trying to be disrespectful,I just don’t think they can handle that kind of volume.
I feel the same way about Ryle’s ability to handle this tournament next year. It will be a complete mess.

The issue is if you have hands down the top 2 kids in the state wrestle in the semifinals at semi state they could end up on the same side at state. The track seeding though not perfect is a lot better than this garbage.

It does matter. Depending on where you finish could decide what side of the bracket you are on.
-
If we know how the bracket will play out for state we could see kids forfeit to 4th or 5th place to get opposite side of the bracket. It all depends on how khsaa seeds it.

9 minutes ago, GentleBeard said:Same side at semi state should result in opposite sides at state….should is the key word
Depends on if they use The Who follows who method or if they use track to seed it. I would say if they meet in the finals they would be opposite if they meet earlier who knows what will happen.

Random draw is terrible. Kinley and Giannone on the same side
-
It would be nice to know how they will do it. If it is 1v8 and so on we could see some forfeits at semi state to get the best finals matchups. No one wants to see the best 2 kids wrestle in the quarters.

I’m not sure when it changed. Noah is was a middle school state alt in the 2nd grade and qualified as a 4th grader.

Sounds like large school will start on a 90 minute delay due to weather.

That same parent and kid work very closely with Ranger in the off-season so I would bet that the “parent” you are talking about isn’t the person questioning the rankings (I actually know who it was and spoke with him about not throwing his two cents in). Also some people need to remember that admins can see who is actually behind the screen name.
Wait a minute they can see who we are? If I knew that I would have used my real name.

I keep telling Ranger he has all the Johnson and Union kids to high. For some reason he will not listen to me.

The great thing about Ranger he doesn’t let his feeling dictate how he handles himself. With him if it isn’t on paper it didn’t happen.
one question who wins, scale or bye?

18 minutes ago, thegoldenwrestler said:I’m not complaining. I just wanna see the kids who win move up in the rankings. For some kids, being ranked high is the highlight for them. It’s okay, the same thing happened to me when i wrestled. Nobody wanted to rank me highly so I beat everyone that Ranger ranked ahead of me but that’s a part of wrestling. You’ll remember his name before it’s all said and done
I mean no disrespect I just put the facts out there.

15 minutes ago, WVhighlander said:Has he beat anyone ranked above him? Or does he have any common opponents?
Because I have way to much time on my hands. He is 20-0 with 9 of those being FF's. He beat #22 in his weight class and beat 1 kid at 190. Looks cut and dry to me. Great job Ranger. Keep grinding

Rankings are somewhat subjective, unless we have head to heads. To say # so and so has so and so doesn’t hold much weight. They have to go compete, my boys have been on both sides of the random draw so I get it. It’s go time, as parents it only last for a short period of time enjoy it.
