IWIN

No disrespect to WC, but this tournament is kind of weak compared to years past. Why is this a 2 day tournament? This could easily be done in one. If this was as big and tough as yester year, I could understand, but this amount of teams.......Really? Sounds like a fund raiser to me.

Big guns missing? What do u mean? Weight, grades, .trouble, what?

Sounds like a dirty wrestler to me!!!

A list of teams would be nice.....

I believe they were 4th before finals. After Ageyman got dq'd, they took away all the team points he earned.

Why didn't Christian Co. make the trip the Lafayette yesterday?

Absolutely agree with it being a good goal. Just trying to make the point if a kid gets beat/upset before State, that doesn't mean his dreams are demolished, it just means that he needs to work a little harder to accomplish them. All in all, I think we are basically saying the same thing.

To me, an undefeated season doesn't mean all to much. If you are 60-1, and get 2nd or 3rd at State, what will people remember? The fact that u were 60-1 and got 2nd or 3rd, or the name of the guy that won a State Championship? My bet is on the guy that won the main prize. Records are great, but a State Championship is what I tell my kids to strive for. The pressure of being undefeated is ridiculous. If you don't believe me, ask Dan Gable, I bet he would tell you the same. Everything we do up until the main show, is practice. In high school, State Championships, that's where its at!!!

Heard today that Polley won't be there.

I figured that this thread would be blowing up tonight. All I hear is crickets...Chirping...... How did the seeds work out? Who's going where? Any surprises?

I've only seen him at 132.

Heard Fern Creek is pretty tough, and if Laf. gets healthy they will be too. Saw where Franklin Co. is kind of hit and miss with a couple of tough kids. The Ageyman kid is really good, should do well this year, Clay seems to be on his game, but looks out if shape. Time will tell.

I happend to look them up yesterday and didn't find much. They are D3 and looked like fielded about 10-12 kids. Looked through several sets of rankings, didn't see any of their kids. Obviously, I'm not Mpire, just saw a question that I knew a little about.

I like the do as I say not as I do quote. Lol! I'm glad we have a little better understanding of each other now. Good luck to you and your kids.

No need to feel bad, and don't worry about my honesty, I'll see you there. Never intended to ask questions that attacked or hurt anyone. Just like the conversation. From here on out, I'll not ask you anything to do with the team you represent. As far as me not revealing myself, I tell my kids to stay off from this site, so I guess I feel somewhat hypocritical by being on here. PS, I'm pretty Damn cocky too.

Tell you what, I'll come see you at State. Introduce myself properly.

I ask you questions because you answer them. I ask you questions because your knowledgeable. You give honest opinions, I like that. As far as you getting upset whenever I ask you a question, you always have the opportunity to ignore them, but you can't. People indirectly ask you questions on here all the time, but, I don't tip toe. I'll ask you directly. Why so offended by that? I'm not on here to make friends, I'm on here to see what's going on. As far as who I am and who I coach for, that's the cool thing about forums, anonyminity.

Mpire, not stirring, just asking a question. You say that Lampe wouldn't be a favorite if Cooper or Stephen were to drop, and I agree... But my question is, are they able to go 145? Question #2, do you think Lampe is Better than Hamilton? I know they didn't get to finish their match, but what did it look like before the injury?

Almost? I'd be lying if I said I didn't. That was one of the most unselfish acts I have ever seen. I want to shake both of those kids hands and tell them how inspirational they are.

True170, your right, 145 looks awesome! Polley and Clay should meet in the finals, but no easy day for either of them. If everyone is at the weight that they are ranked, 145 will have #1 Polley Ch. Co., #3 Clay FC, #6 Jones WV, #10 Green Laff., #14 Smith Trin., and #15 Aiken TC! That's a pretty solid line up of guys. Should be very interesting!

Is Trinity bringing their "A" team?

Is this ran like the old 5 Star, or will it be a bracket individual tournament?

Any stand out individual matches?

Larue has a few studs this year, but not as solid all the way up and down the line up as years past. There always seems to be a changing of the guard every few years. Woodford, Larue, Trinity, and I would even throw Union in the mix. If u look at these programs, u will see a trend of the middle school programs starting to stumble, and from there it filters through to the high school. Union will be tough for the next couple of years, but when the last of the Ervin clan comes through, well u see where I'm going. Campbell Co.'s middle school has been rocking the past few years. Campbell will be the new WC, UC, LC, for a while and the torch will be passed. Back to the original thoughts of the thread.... Just from the outside looking in, I would assume that Larue just isn't the team they once were, and chose to go where they will compete and continue to try to build confidence among the program. No shame in that, we all have to do what is best for our programs.

Ranger, with a few weeks of wrestling wrapped up, any chance that you have any new rankings for us?
