  1. I'm not here to bash the Ref's.  I understand this is a paid position so they should be held accountable.  I also understand they can't see everything.  If the state is not going to seed this tournament at the very least there should be 2 ref's from the quarterfinals on.  These kids should not be penalized in a scramble because the ref is either out of position or afraid to correct himself.

  3. 1-14 pts for each weight class. 

    Your strongest pick gets 14 your weakest pick weight class you are least confident in gets a 1.  Person with the most points wins.

     

    If your Darkhorse places you get 5 bonus points.  If he makes the finals you get 14 bonus points.  He has to be outside the Top 10

    Nice win Noah. Kid is a hammer. I'd rank 182 like this:
    #1 - Stevens (only 2 losses are 5-3 to Micah Ervin both times)
    #2 - Duke
    #3 - Mayer
    #4 - Blanton
    #5 - Abren

    It's hard to say how it will shake out.  Ryle is at The Mustang and it has #7,10,12,14 and #4 at 170.  If Duke gets through that who knows.  It's a good thing Ranger has a good handle on things.  Guess we will just go back to work in the "Woodshed" and let Ranger worry about where he should land.

  5. Ryle and Walton had a really good dual tonight in Union.  Ryle wins 34-23.  A couple key results are:

    113-Cole Thomas Dec over Isham Peace 6-1 I think could be wrong no upset but bumped up.

    160-Cody Foster Dec over Brandon Gibson 2-0

    182-Noah Duke Dec over Daulton Mayer 3-1 in overtime

    Kentucky needs to give growth allowance like Oh. you do not get it until you have made scratch weight.  Back when I wrestled once you made scratch weight you got 1lb in Jan. then another in Feb.

    Back when you wrestled you had to walk 5 miles up hill both ways to and from school.:lol::lol::lol:  See ya tonight.

  7. Guess I have that rare kid that went from wrestling 105 in 5th grade to 182 as a freshman.  The 2 pounds is there for kids who need it.  Some will abuse it, that is the part that we have to live with. We can’t punish the ones who need growth for the ones who abuse it.

     Good luck this weekend to all the young wrestlers competing. 


  8. I agree with the 2 pounds in Middle School more than High School.  These kids are growing like crazy.  Some kids/areas do not have the resources as others to get workouts in.  If their isn't any school give the kids their pound or two.   This is middle school we need to keep our eye on the prize, keep the kids on the mat for High School and beyond.
