Yes it will be.

Those schools have traveled for years. What does it hurt to give them a chance? If there was a school in any other part of the state that was willing to host we would take it there as well. We are trying to be fair. This was voted on by the representatives selected to represent each region. This was not a one or two person decision. And while I'm at it, what does this have to do with teams not attending Sectionals. The sectionals were put together geographically. If it sounds like I am frustrated...it is because I am. The coaches wanted this split yet teams don't show up to their own sectional. Trying to get teams to fill spots is a nightmare. IF it was up to me and me only....... we would go back to the regional qualifiers and one class. But it is not up to me and as the President I will take what was voted on and make the best event I can.

You are good to post link

Zane was the four seed and lost to the five seed in the quarters. This dropped him down into a bracket that only allowed him to 5th as the highest place. He finished the day with only loss and was fifth place.

Male had injuries and illnesss. Other than Brown. He was at Philo.

Like Trinity, Male was not at full strength. Chandler and Brown were out. Blankenship did not make weight. Steppe was sick for day two. Congrats to St X. on a great showing.

Jack Lucas is at 132 in HS. He will wrestle 140 in MS

Yes he is.

Brown will not be there. Chandler is from Male.

Results and Team Scores are attached. Team Sportsmanship - Louisville Central MOW - Zane Brown (120) - Louisville Male 2014 Derby City Classic Brackets.pdf 2014 Derby City Team Scores.pdf

Cooper will be there also. Nelson County is out.

Male, Moore, Oldham County will be at the Jeff Classic this weekend with some strong competition including Bloomington South, Gibson Southern and many others.

Male will have a couple of varsity guys that are dropping weight classes.

No just everyone getting matches. I will post the schedule soon.

Evansville Central Louisville Central Louisville Male Tates Creek Independence (TN) Boyle County Bourbon County Lexington Catholic Boone County Danville

Zach Chandler will be at 152 and Jack Lucas will be at 140. The weight assessment for him was someone else's. It is fixed now.

After reading Mike Barrens Blog post about the mats, I have attached a picture that will help explain what I interpret it to be. The setup I used at Male is ok in that I have five feet between the wrestling circles. The area I need to address with my AD is that I do not have enough room from the edge of the circle to the wall. I only have about five feet and need to have about 10 feet for safety. I hope this helps some.

In the words of Aaron Rodgers.....Relax. Clarification is coming. And remember, this was not done to penalize wrestling. It was made a point of emphasis for safety.

He said he was going to send something soon.

I sent Mike Barren an email with the above picture. His response is that it is now illegal to have that set up. Mats need be 10 feet apart. I asked if is that is from circle to circle or edge to edge. He said he would clarify with Julian Tackett and email all coaches.

I would ask Mike Barren at the KHSAA before referring to other state's interpretations of the rule. Ill ask but I think I know what he will say.

This will change the way tournaments are set up. For example, no more taking the extra pieces off of dollamur or ez flex mats and just having the circle bump up against other mats. An example of what cannot happen anymore is below and this was in my gym.

I am thinking about using the Hudl Video System for my team. My football team and basketball team use it and love it. Has anyone used it for wrestling? If so, what are your thoughts?

What about Velencia from California? He beat Brock at Senior Nationals at 132 and will be wrestling 182 this weekend in Flo's who is #1. That is quite a jump.
