This story of a former Lafayette wrestler who battled heroin addiction won a Pulitzer Prize yesterday. http://projects.huffingtonpost.com/dying-to-be-free-heroin-treatment

I hope the KY Colleges and Univ. are recruiting him hard.

Moore is a stud and is adding to his accolades. Also a great example of sportsmanship and class.

Rob knows who doesn't like him. He intentionally prods and harasses those who he thinks have slighted him in the past. That's why his mouth nearly got him in trouble at state tournament and it soon will if he keeps up his antics. I'm sure ETC is a great training facility. Never said otherwise. I'm referring to his nasty comments, sometimes racist and completely inappropriate ways he speaks to certain wrestlers (these are 16-17 yr old kids keep in mind) who he feels haven't given him enough credit or are challengers to some of his ETC kids. I don't care if everyone thinks I'm being petty or inappropriate in a public forum. I'm tired of it and I want others that only see him as an asset to KY wrestling to know who he really is. Ask some of the most respected, accomplished coaches in the state if they've had issues with him and you'll quickly hear stories that will make you sick.

anyone who has talked to a Fern Creek wrestler in the last 2 years now knows exactly what they've been dealing with. Moore is a stud, no doubt by the time his career is finished his accolades will far outnumber those of mouthy kids who get team points deducted for dancing after winning a 2nd round match against some over-matched young kid. lol at Rob Boston taking credit for Dallas' huge performance at state. doesn't that guy have a coaching staff to harass or another asst coach job to lose in one month?

yes nature boy doesn't know what he's talking about he's never been to the Civic Center and has no idea what the layout, the finals setup and the intensity of that arena was like. but that's not gonna stop him from telling everyone how wrong they are.

yep this was similar to the finals in Frankfort. Not as many people but the lighting, mat placement and excitment was identical.

roberts would beat nevells 10 out of 10 times. 8 of them majors. the wayne kid was over matched and tried to choke out Joey. It should've been a penalty point and possible DQ. none of it matters tho bc refs let them continue and nevells got worked like a team of mules for the next 5 mins by a guy who was out cold just a few minutes prior.

78 points for me. Got 9 weight classes correct.

Tucker Hurst and Saul Ervin with match of the tourney so far. Saul got escape with 30 seconds left to win 5-4. He may not have another match that close all weekend. But he's got another state finalist in the quarters with Wells. Seed the damn state tournament already.

"Maybe with the additional parking funds we could hire someone to seed the tournament." LOL

I agree 138 is toughest weight. Doesn't guarantee the OW will be from that weight. SOOO many different scenarios can play out this weekend. I told someone this week I see 5 kids in that weight class that either have been or will be state champs: Ervin, Hurst, Moore, Wells, Storck. Maybe even Insko...he's still in middle school!

Not sure. I think 138 will be Angel, Logan or AJ...all of them are well respected, multiple-time placers. What if some kid comes out of nowhere, not ranked in top 5 and upsets some studs to win at a different weight? Good shot at OW.

106: Yost--5 113: Yenter--7 120: Saul--12 126: Sheffer--13 132: Keegan--6 138: Erdman--3 145: Oxford--4 152: Barton--11 160: Max Andreoni--1 170: Cornett--14 182: Emerson--10 195: Emir Bernabe--2 220: Reed--9 285: Young--8 Team: Union 182.5 Dark Horse--Odeh Eqal--Tates Creek ranked 15th

lol this rant is probably my all time fav

good lord.

I'm excited to see him in action! If nothing else he's got a great name.

Does Escalara even weigh 106? I saw he won state at 80 lbs last season, THATS TINY (whereas Yost won it at 105, Wheeler at 98). I look forward to seeing this kid in action but I'm gonna hold off on crowning him the next Brock until I see him lock up in the 3rd period with a guy that weighs about 110 30 mins after weigh-ins and walks into practice on Mondays at 115. There are some stout little 106ers out there.

Yeah if you're aren't wrestling the finals as one event consecutively there is no point in a face-off I guess.

106: Yost 113: Tylan Tucker 120: Saul 126: Sheffer 132: Keegan 138: Erdman 145: Oxford 152: Barton 160: Max Andreoni 170: Cornett 182: Emerson 195: If Tyler is hurt I have no idea. Emir Bernabee seems to be peaking at right time 220: Reed 285: Young very chalky predictions I know. I feel the least certain about 195, 152, 106 and 138. wouldn't be shocked if I missed all those

lol your math seems legit...and you know there's gonna be some OT matches going longer than 10 minutes. midinight finish is not out of the question. feel sorry for those upperweights waiting over 5 hours from when "finals" start and their match.

lol buddy let it go. what the heck does it matter if your kid is ranked 20th?

I feel like this setup will take even longer. And it doesn't allow guys wrestling for medals to watch their teammates in the finals (if you're warming up).

I hear there will be a new podium but they're gonna charge the kids $2.50 each to step up on it. Also 50 cents for every time you spit in a trash can
