    106 should certainly be a high school weight...just not varsity. 

     

    I love Kentucky. Stating high school sports should be, well, you know, for high school students isn’t bashing. 

    Only 3 of the kids ranked at 106 Are in middle school guess the rest of the kids shouldn't be able to wrestle... Smart logic.

    Hug him, kiss him, love him and be honest with him.  In his last match there's no other way to say it.  Heck, I didn't think he looked good the entire tournament but that's ok. It's preseason and his first match since Fargo.  He wrestled poorly in his first match, only shot 3 times and lost by 1 to the eventual champ. That's a good nugget for him.  2 years ago Zeke wrestled as good as he could and Cedeno kicked Zeke's butt 6-0 at the Super 32's. So even though Zeke didn't wrestle well against him at Journeymen he was able to pull out a W so that's a good nugget for him too.  But in that last match there isn't a nugget to be found and I'm not going to waste time looking for one for the sake of not hurting his feelings. Chalk it up as one of those times you stunk it up and move on.

    Having a parent with this type of mindset is what helps mold a successful wrestler and a successful human on and off the mat..

    Any of them. I'm a big UC fan. I like to see Union vs the world. I'd like to see Saul vs Johnson or Micah vs Mason. The Deck bros have been impressive all summer and they seem to wanna wrestle everywhere. Wheeler will wrestle anyone, Moore, Carr, Tucker?? The bigger guys will all be playing football. 

    All the bigger guys except David Woods

    “I only turned 15 this past May so I really haven't had many life changing decisions to make," he said. "This, though, was certainly one of them and it was gut wrenching. Not everyone is going to like your decision and I have felt like I've lost some support from people. I try to keep my focus on the love and support I have received, which has far outweighs the other. The great part about it though is that I still get to represent Kentucky at the national level.”

    What an amazing accomplishment! Whether or not Zeke stays in KY is irrelevant to me. You got to do what is best for you and your situation. I hope his success helps motivate our younger guys to get more national level experience. 

    I agree whether or not he stays in Kentucky is irrelevant his family will do what's best for him and what Zeke wants to do. Zeke has always been one of the if not the kindest kids I have came into contact since I have been around the sport also one of the most exciting looking forward to seeing just how great he is going to become..

    I really don't understand people pushing for the post tournament report, the more that I think about it. Like the tournament is already over, it reported itself. His predictions are right there, and we can all draw the lines ourselves. But I guess by the same notion, Ranger and Dutch are trusted voices of wisdom in our community. 

    Just something to read and he does a great job with stats and post tournament write ups.. Same reason people like to read the post tournament articles in the newspapers around the state except these guys actually know the sport unlike most doing the news articles..
