    youth state results

    Some concerns are valid points, others not as much. The tournament is called a YOUTH tournament. To me, this means that it is a tournament for our new youth to show what they have. I was pleased to find out that the brackets went from 8-man to 16-man this year. This meant a bigger challenge to our youngest members. I also want to commend those that worked hard this year to do placement for the older kids brackets. I know they have put a lot of time and effort into this event. Hence, where my whining comment comes into play. A lot of people worked hard to make this tournament stronger this year. I feel as if the first comment anyone should say is "Thank you" to all those who gave up countless hours to make the tourney run so smoothly! I have read everyone's comments. Most of them are valid, but you should first thank all involved before you hack it to pieces. I, just like the rest of you, want Kentucky wrestling to grow all children into great wrestlers, not just the ones you feel are top dogs.

    youth state results

    I can't believe what I am seeing on here! I've never heard such whining before in my life! Shouldn't our sole purpose be to grow our state wrestling program? The youth tournament is such an experience for our younger wrestlers. It gives them a taste of what a large tournament feels like and, if lucky, what it feels like to stand on the podium. For some youth, that tournament gives them the confidence they need and makes them strive harder to improve their skills. Is a youth tournament title going to get them a college scholarship? No. What it will do is give them that boost to work harder and to become a great wrestler in the future. Shouldn't that be the sole purpose? The more we encourage our youth, the better our state program will be in the years to come.
