A yes, a very big congrats to him too.

I think what Lionheart is trying to say is no BootsN. Even though KY has had quite a few really good wrestlers over the years he can't think of a time that we've had 4 nationally ranked wrestlers at once.

Congrats to the 3 boys that made All Tournament Team!!! Thanks Coach Carr for all your work to help grow freestyle in KY. http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2017/June/12/Michigan-leads-Schoolboy-Freestyle-All-Tournament-Team-with-six

I agree with you though that our state, as a whole, misses out on a tremendous amount of opportunities in wrestling because of the lack of numbers.

Never knew they were coming to KY. Their club has quite a grasp on the Southern Indiana area along with several kids from southern IL and western KY making trips to Evansville to work with them. They also took 2 teams to the VACW Holiday Duals this past December in Virginia Beach, one elementary team and one middle school team. Both teams were made up of club kids too, which is quite impressive, considering KY wrestling can't seem to put a team together for tournaments like this. So I'm not sure why they would consider it. Especially after hearing how most on this forum don't think you should be allowed to make a living with a club.

I'm confused. Are saying MCWC is closed? That's not true at all. They are open and running camps this summer along with practices every week.

When is state?

That is pretty good stuff. With the exception of 1 wrestler, every favorite made it to the finals. Ranger certainly has a feel for the pulse of KY wrestling.

Thank you very much for the kind words Darren. You and Amanda are doing a great job with your kiddos. As always, it's a double edge sword when our boys wrestle each other because someone has to lose. Your friendship is a blessing.

Anyone know if the tournament will have a live feed?

Congrats to Haverstick on a great tournament. Win or lose in the finals, it has been fun watching him have the success he has had.

It wasn't that long ago that Zeke came home from school telling us, with such excitement, about him and his classmates waving to and cheering on the high school wrestlers as they went through town on their way to state. "I'm going to be in that bus some day." He would tell us. Hook, line and sinker. Our 2 kiddos in elementary school say they're friends talk about it all day long. They say the ones that wrestle talk about riding it too. Coach Tackett, thank you for all of your support. You and our entire school board do a wonderful job of supporting all of our athletes and probably haven't the slightest clue as to how much things like this give our kiddos something to work toward. 20170216_083000_s01.mp4

Thanks!!!

I think you're hedging a bit. Lol!! Love it!!!

He's got to win one first before I talk to him about state titles. Anything can happen on the big stage. It can have very bad consequences for his title hopes the minute he starts looking past any wrestler. If he can make it to the semi finals he will have some very tough wrestlers ahead of him. All, of which, are very capable of beating him.
