    Region 3 Rankings 2/3/16

    Depends on what Klein certified and his descent plan. He probably wrestled up to 122 but weighed 115. Just a hunch...

    Ryle/ Male / Henry Clay

    Storck weighed in at 124 and wrestled up @ 132 his first duel and pinned Ryle wrestler at 9-0 in the second. He really didn't want to wrestle up but did it without complaint. Then took the 126 forfeit with Male. It was a good night.

    Big Announcement is here

    Ranger, any particular reason Tyler Storck wasn't invited at 120? I think as hard as he's worked this summer he'd get the nod. I understand you want to entertain the masses but I couldn't think of a better match; Moore v. Storck. I mean Dutch did say in the video he's (Storck) liable to finish top 3 or 4 at State this year. If Cook backs out hope you'll consider him. Good luck!
  11. Thanks for taking the time out to do this! I wonder if a public access cable channel would pick this show up? Should be a great season for all our kids involved. We'll see who really wants it this year but I think there's definitely a ton of upsets coming. Thanks again!!
  12. Tyler Storck 120# Henry Clay. Did he get overlooked? Region 7 runner up and knocked out of state tournament ultimately from an illegal slam. He was the #21 ranked wrestler upsetting 4 other much higher ranked wrestlers this season...

    Biggest Upsets At State?

    385, I know. And you're right. It's bothering me and my son even more. I really like Critchfield and Headley. And maybe they got caught up in the moment. It was ironic because I've had this conversation with my son about illegal slams particularly. Call me a wimp but in that State Tournament situation, I really think he would have fared better had he stopped. We know our kids are tough or they'd be playing basketball, right? Lol. There's no doubt he was seeing stars. We want our kids to do their best and when we see them suffer from an injustice we get mad. I'm guilty of it. I'm glad that I can share this on this forum though because it's played out in my head a million times since Tuesday night and there's some freedom in writing this.

    Biggest Upsets At State?

    I did speak to Headley and Critchfield face to face. This is the same coach that put our 145# kid back on the mat after being thrown (legal move) by Blanton this season that almost knocked him out. And I'll add that this wrestler went to the locker room after the match, fell asleep, and woke up remembering nothing. Spent the evening in the ER with a concussion. But you're missing the point completely. Have you ever wrestled after being slammed on your head? I haven't. But I didn't wrestle but did get a concussion playing football. And thank God for deep benches! Was there another match during the tournament where a kid took a W from an illegal slam, etc? Just wondering. And it's not laying down to get a win... It's a kid who can't figure out what to do with kid in front of him so he resorts to illegal slams, locking hands, pulling head guards, illegal chokes out of the refs view... all those things we see all the time.

    Biggest Upsets At State?

    Let's stir the pot... Did anyone see the second round 120# match between Storck and Martinson? Martinson illegally slams Storck on his head/neck and took the wind out of Storck's sails. Storck tells his coach he doesn't want to continue but coach tells him he doesn't want to win by laying down. Laying down? Anyone here other than me ever had a concussion? Although some kid with a duffle bag and a few rolls of tape cleared him to wrestle, every coach needs to be more concerned with the safety and well being of his wrestlers. If Storck doesn't proceed he wins and then most likely loses to Sheffer and becomes Henry Clay's first freshman to place top eight in 15 years. But no. His coach put him back on the mat shell- shocked to say the least. The ref doesn't call an escape of Storck's and instead of winning 5-4 he loses 6-4 in overtime. Then his next match he tells the coach he's dizzy before stepping on the mat but he dismisses it and puts him out there anyways. Storck can hardly see and barely wrestle. He gets pinned. The FIRST time this season he gets pinned. That should say a lot right there. A 5th place finish at the Raider Rumble and a 3rd place finish at the Dragon and runner up in his region, all that hard work, determination, and the goal of placing at state, all down the tubes because a coach's ego got put in front of his wrestler's welfare. What if it was your kid? You know, the one that practices 6 days a week and sacrifices friends for wrestling and food to make weight. Yeah, I'm sure most of you have an opinion. And we all know those are like camaros (lol, or used to be) but what if it was your kid under these circumstances? It's really bothering both of us but we'll call it a learning curve. This is enough fuel to make him a champ next year maybe even a 3X champ. It's still a pretty disgusting way to end a great freshman season. That said, congratulations to Brandon Miller. He will be considered the first freshman to place at state for Henry Clay in 15 years and worked pretty hard to get there! Also, congratulations Zane Brown! He's a tough kid and definitely one to watch. Angel Vasquez, couldn't think of a better kid to win at 138. Blanton has the sickest throws I've ever seen and a smart wrestler. I'm tired of hearing about stalling. Every wrestler stalls at some point or another. It's part of it... I'm not saying he did nor am I saying Max did. I would have liked to have seen a little more wrestling from both of them and that's for sure. Post season begins Sunday. Good luck and happy training, Wrestlers!
