Top 8 teams 2015-16 (preseason ranking) 1. Union Co 2. Trinity 3. Woodford 4. Fern creek 5. St X 6. Oldham 7. John Cent 8. North Oldham

Who all is wrestling next weekend? Any big duals or individual matchups?

Defender duals is a team dual format. I think 10 teams, two pools. Harrison I hear is looking tough this year. Also how will Walton Verona and Harrison match up against Woodford? Woodford having two teams again kind of scares me. Reminds me of the old days. Excited to see them compete this weekend.

North Oldham scrimmage was great. All the teams looked tough. But Moore really has some tough kids. Also Oldham had a big team. Someone from Woodford told me they tried to get into trinity scrimmage, but trinity turned them down. Trinity, Woodford, fern creek will be fun to watch.

That is awesome that these guys went and competed. This is a tough tournament. No joke. Woodford looks solid next year. Those 4 guys plus a handful of others.

This camp / clinic sounds great! Zeke is awesome! Hope a lot of kids attend! Great job coach Carr

Same thing could be said about trinity. With the North Oldham boys Duncan / Heidorf they might not be as tough either. Oh and Frankrone

Yes Campbell, union, and stx will be tough again next year, Trinity and Woodford will be the top 2 teams. Mark my words. Both teams are very young and talented

106- Hurst has some serious heart. He was fun to watch. Tough as nails. 113- Sheffer is so smooth with his wrestling, love to see him scramble and mix it up. 120- Boston is amazing to watch. Great move to move transitions and basically just makes kids quit. 126- Carr is a darn good wrestler. I enjoyed watching such great young talent. Biggest upset of the tournament. 132- Ervin is great to watch. First 5x state champ in KY. Amazing. 138- Fausz is a stud. He's a beast on top and is very technical. 145- Whalen, similar to Hurst is tough as crap. Always ready to rumble. 152- Lampe is such a hard worker. Like seeing him grind it out. 160- Lampe is just a huge 160lber I think. He is tall and strong. Dude is a warrior. Head taped up and everything. Didn't get to see much of the 170 match but heard it was a good one. 182- Frankrone is a stud. So explosive and strong. 195- Parrot is athletic. Big dude and still technical and fast. 220- Meyers is huge. Definitely hit the weights hard in this past off season. Wrestles like a lightweight with the great takedowns. Hwt- Johnson is tough. Good big man on his feet. And on top.

Yes I think those 4 picks of mine from Woodford are all right there on track to win a title. And not necessarily, union will probably have 10 placers and 4 champs won't win a title over 10 placers. Chill out guys, these are MY predictions. Boston, Hurst, Courtney are going to be tough to beat at state and I see brown losing before the finals which Andreoni MIGHT win it then.

14- Boston 120 13- Myers 220 12- Ervin 132 11- Lampe 152 10- Fausz 138 9- Blackwell 126 8- Hurst 106 7- Lampe 160 6- Sheffer 113 5- Courtney 182 4- Andreoni 145 3- Meiman 170 2- Lawson hwt 1- Morrow 195 Team - union 202

Austin vs Carr will be a good one. Strength vs speed

Wow top half of bracket is stacked.. Looking for Ervin vs Lannum, Mitchell, korfhage in the finals

All regions are complete now. When can we start putting brackets together?

Carr vs Austin in 2nd round, vega vs. Bindner in quarters, Ervin vs Hernandez in quarters, hurst vs. Burroughs in semis, Whalen vs. Andreoni in quarters , Hernandez vs krebs in 2nd round, smith vs Sheffer in quarters

Yes I do because it would help with time on Saturday and it would give you more time to recognize the state placers

126 Emerson is older brother

All they would need to do is seed the top 4 in each weight Then move to 8 mats and wrestle all the way through the quarter finals on Friday, meaning start earlier than NOON

What kids do you have so far? Any big names? And what are the fees?

106- Hurst wc 113- Roberts wc 120- Boston wc 126- Carr wc 132- Oldham county or Woodford 138- Wilkerson old 145- Andreoni wc 152- ? 160- ? 170- Emerson old 182- Courtney wc 195- Oldham 220-? Hwt- Davis s.old

You can't go off of Kahl vs brown last year. This year they haven't wrestled. Brown will be your #1, Kahl and Andreoni will meet in the semis. Andreoni is a stud beating Whalen last week. I bet makes the state finals as a 9th grader And Whalen is still the toughest at that weight class

The only things I would change would be, take Siddons (Moore) out of top 5, and take Bautista (southern) out of top 7. I think there are a few others that are better. Smith (Walton Verona), Roberts/Fallon (Woodford) I think are top 7. The test of these are alright

I don't know if Ervin is the best 106 in Kentucky but he is knocking on the door. Hernandez is huge at 106 and funky. Hurst has a motor that continues to get stronger as the match goes on. They are still the top 2 Vega is small but I don't see Bindner beating him again. Vega will be top 3. As for Bindner, maybe top 5.

I mean if they would have wrestled yesterday, I'm 100% sure Ervin wins

If they wrestled now, I think it would be a lot different outcome. He dominated cook from stx and cook is tough. He is worthy of top 5.
