    Wow Wildcat. “Only shot at AA for years to come.” Damn, not much of a KY wrestling fan are you? No faith in our hometown boys. Maybe you should become a fan somewhere else. Obviously you aren’t getting what you need from our KY boys, so call yourself a Bearcat or a Nittany Lion, or maybe even a Buckeye, but definitely not a Wildcat. Oh! I get it. Maybe your from Arizona and have no idea what your talking about when it comes to KY wrestling. That must be it. I’m sure they have forums where you can find the hero that you have been looking for. Until then, best of luck to all of our D1 through NAIA KY wrestlers that according to Wildcat have no chance of becoming an AA for years to come. I believe in you.

    The random draw and seeding will always come into question. The 32 man vs 16 man brackets will raise the same eyebrows. At the end of the day, there is not a parent or coach that has any real say on the outcome. It will be these young men making their own way. Some will battle through “unfavorable” draws. Some will fold to the pressure. Some will make excuses, some will rise to the challenge. Either way, this is the most exciting time of the year for any wrestler, coach, parent or fan. Best of luck to all you guys out there. Be grateful for every moment you have out on that mat. That goes for parents too. Be grateful for every second that you get to watch them compete, because one day, it’s all over. Unfortunately, sometimes a lot sooner than you think it will be. Just the nature of the sport I guess. I pray for everyone’s safe travels and safe tournament.

    Coaches, don’t let your wrestlers miss out on this opportunity! What a great way to pick up some new partners, friends, and family for life. We battle each other November thru February. After that, we should band together to show the rest of our country what we’ve got. Last year was so much fun. Placing 3rd as a team was amazing, but I know we can do better. Who’s ready to win a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP?

    I agree, why would you want to wrestle Union? Wrestling them proves that this Big School/Small School stuff is a joke. KY IS NOT BIG ENOUGH!! I’ve said that from the get go. There were some coaches that really pushed hard for that small school crap back in the day hoping they could win a trophy. Instead, Union County has dominated the State duals and the State Tournament for a while now. I respect the hell out of Union Co. Do I want to beat them, absolutely. Are they the best in KY? No question about it.

    Anyone know why Woodford took a forfeit against Oldham County?

    Woodford and Oldham just wrestled a week or so ago in their Sectional and they will meet again at Regionals. I think it speaks volumes about Woodford and Oldham to be from the same Sectional and Region and consistently place top 4 at State Duals. We actually wrestled each other in the State Duals finals a few years back.

    I was referring to you questioning Madison Central's seed?

    Christian had the opportunity to wrestle Johnson Central but they were defeated by Moore in round two. I believe they got it correct. How would’ve you seeded it?

    To knock out 2 birds with one stone. It’s not about JC. It’s about not following the rules set forth and voted on by our coach’s association. JC would have clearly won today regardless of where they fell in the pool. That not even the point. Beefstew, you ask me how I would have seeded it, clearly my answer would be by the criteria that was already in place. Would it have changed the outcome? Probably not. I haven’t cared from the start about the outcome, it has always been about following the rules. That’s all.

    Look, I’m not with Madison and I don’t have anything against JC, but rules and criteria are put into place for a reason. I agree, it will get settled on the mat. JC has a great team this year. This isn’t a fight against them. This is a fight about integrity. We can’t bend and change the rules every time something doesn’t go our way. Just feels like the good ol’ boy system.

    Does anyone know why Madison Central decided not to wrestle tonight?

    Does anyone know why JC decided not wrestle Madison Central multiple times this year?

    Does anyone know why the KYWCA chose to make some pretty ballsy decisions without getting the permission from the majority of the state? 

    My guess is NO, you DON’T. This State Duals has gone against everything that this state is working towards. It also works against all you “coaches” voted for just a year ago. Time to be held accountable.
