Braves coach

Please help me wish these girls good luck. They are heading to Budapest Hungary tomorrow to represent USA. Olivia Messerly is our KY girl on the team. Go shock the world girl.

Ranger, I can help. Olivia, Addison and Lauren won the 14u freestyle nationals on saturday. GREAT ACHIEVEMENT in itself. On Sunday the 15uww world team trials took place. Olivia won the 50kg and earned the spot to compete in Budapest. Lauren took 3rd. She will get to challenge the 2nd place finisher for a spot on the pan am team. This was the largest womens freestyle event in the world. AMAZING job to these 3 young ladies. All are 13 and wrestled up in age groups. Well Done.

They are letting girls wrestle ?

The Sem Ladies Open was not a disappointment! 11 States 4 Countries. The Messerly twins took 3rd and 4th.

Maybe you should. LoL

Wrestledad, I can appreciate your view on supporting in state events however, this can be an expensive sport. Expense is relative to each family so I only consider value. If we travel to a very small in state event and cannot get at least a couple of competitive matches then this is not a good value. Some people are only chasing awards. I would rather my kids get really good competetion . The fact that the tournament director will not allow wrestling up divisions to get better competetion means there is almost no value in attending these events.

Funny.

Funny. I would bet that they combine weights and divisions in order actually get the kids who show up at least a match.

Would girls be allowed to wrestle up division ?

WOODSHED 7 days per week. 9-11 & 5-7 Cost: blood,sweat

Could i please have a contact number for the person responsible for organizing these events.

Thanks Bulldoglife

The Messerly twins will compete in the Girls State tournament. This was a very tough decisions. Ultimately, the chance to be a part of history and the chance to be the first girls to win a HS Title. Best of luck to Lauren Walton. Go be the first girl to win a ms state title. Thanks to all who had the girls winning a ms state title. Good luck to all in the post season.

Don't blame the "woodshed" for his enormous appetite. Duke is a beast at any weight.

Ok great! Lets get them ranked.

10-4

KYWCA . Ok that's awesome. I'm sure you are correct they are smart enough. My concerns are why hold this event the same day as MS state? Why make the best girls in the state choose which event to participate in. Why not open this event to all states to really grow the numbers and competition level. This could be a great opportunity for girls wrestling.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly....

Bad info.

I hope the people behind this were smart enough to make girls state an OPEN tournament. Even OHIO has made their girls state open. Great opportunity for ky girls who can step up to the challenge.

Hey. I get it. I love that 19 teams wanted to compete. Just sucks we dont have the facilities or referees to run these tournaments safely and in a manageable time frame. State duals are going to be very competitive and fun to win.

Well said Alf!!!! I agree with everything said. I will pile it on the refs. Not understanding the rules, illegal holds caused injury which should have been avoided. Paying refs by the hour does not promote them to keep a dual tourney moving.

Really DUKE ?? I will post rankings right after the State Finals. Enjoy retirement!!
