    ^^^^ Can't tell if that was a compliment or not. Either way...thanks? I think.

    Snow Solution

    As everyone knows, the state of KY is about to get hammered by a huge snow storm. There seems to be a lot of legitimate concerns about Regional tournaments and youth tournaments. Add in the school team/club team debacle, and we have a real mess that needs to be dealt with. If growing the sport across the state is the "real" goal, it is time that the coaches that we have put in positions of power come up with a solution that is fair to EVERYONE. Saying that a club team can travel and whoever else that can make it, come on, isn't a real solution. These kids have worked too hard to have their season ended due to weather. Once again, if growing the sport in this state is the real goal, we can not turn our backs on these kids now. To me, the only sensible solution is to cancel ALL tournaments this weekend and wrestle them next weekend. If State Duals is the only reason for the hang up, reschedule it for the week after high school State or some other time. If you are a parent, I encourage you to speak with your child's coach and voice your concerns. He (the coach) will know who to contact (region reps) in order to network with the board of the coaches association to make this happen. Just like the high school parents and coaches had to go head to head with the KHSAA last year, we have to unite now to do what is best for wrestling in this state, and more importantly, our kids.

    Snow Solution

    32 man bracket, interesting. I haven't even considered that. Another great solution.

    Great solution! I like constructive threads like this.

    Snow Solution

    pin2win, I can't argue with you at all. I am sure that making those "higher up" decisions are very difficult. And I know we have had the "if you can make it....if you can't make it" mentality for a long time. I just can't help to put myself in a 10-12 year olds spot and how heart broken I would be if I put in the work and didn't get to reap the benefits due to weather. I know the dilemma of having middle school kids that wrestle up for the high school at State Duals is a tough spot as well. Without intentionally opening another can of worms, that is why I have always been in favor of making the middle school post season coincide with the high school post season. Not a popular idea, I know, just my opinion.

    REGION 4 RESCHEDULED

    Like I stated on another thread, I believe the coaches association should step in and reschedule ALL regional championships for next weekend. Much of KY will be immobilized. I love state duals as much as anyone, but we need to be fair here.

    Region 1

    I personally think that the coaches association needs to step in here. If any region has to cancel due to weather, all regions should be cancelled as well. I know the fuss will be that state duals are next weekend. State duals have been cancelled before, I say cancel them again and let all of these region championships be wrestled next Sat the 30th. Sounds like the most fair option to me.
  13. ^^^Heard you were out for the rest of the season. Guess not. Glad your back. Your coach is one of a kind.

    The Dragon

    Heck of a breakdown. Great job! I'd disagree on a couple, but not very many at all. It looks like all of these weight classes will have some highly contested and highly anticipated matches. I see where you mentioned the Hanson rumblings, but I have also heard rumblings about FC's Binder being done for the year as well.

    Regional matchups your looking forward to!

    Shoveling snow is a great alternative workout. Plenty of calories getting burnt, you sweat off some weight, and you make some extra $$. My kids have been at it all day.

    Middle School Rankings 2015/16 - JANUARY 8

    I know you want to see your kid's name get some recognition, but pleading your case on here isn't the way to do it. Let him prove himself at regions and State and he will land right where he is supposed to. Ranking are just fun to look at. In the great words of Terry Brands's father, "you get what you earn."

    State Duals

    Can Track auto seed teams? Not being rhetorical, just asking. If so, maybe this changes the prediction, maybe not, I can't really say for sure. I will say, other than Union being #1, my other 3 predictions could fall in any order. Harrison County is my so called Dark Horse. They have the "horses" to possibly make the finals.

    Nathan Boston

    Not so sure about the Hall comment. Go to Flo and search "Boston Hall" or "is Nathan Boston the next big thing" and you will see a short video of some live wrestling that may change your mind.

    MS Teams without Certified Coaches

    Are there any teams that will not be able to participate, or did everyone get their coaching certifications done?
  22. They seed the 4 #1's. Not sure how the rest plays out.

    Big School Sectional 3 Duals

    I believe that Johnson Central is definitely the favorite. I see Henry Clay and Madison Central battling for that 2nd place spot. If everyone performs this match could possibly be desided at 152 and 220. These are the 2 swing matches. It will also be huge if Henry Clay has Storck. If he is still recovering from the leg injury, Henry Clay may be in trouble. 113 will be a huge match as well. Miller and Deck will be a great match as always. At the end of the day, I see Madison Central getting the job done to take that second spot. Either way, should be some great matches!!
