    Looking to coach

    Taylor County would be interested If you could make it work. We have 2 coaches from Michigan (one is the head middle school coach, the other is head female wrestling coach). Might have a connection there. ben.ellard@taylor.kyschools.us

    Biggest Upset at State

    I think Cox was a Senior this year? Hope I’m wrong. Kid is an absolute stud and no doubt helped the middle weights in the practice room. Guys like that are extremely valuable to a good team.

    MOW ?

    Could have gone to Lehman, Moore, the Ervin’s, Mayer, etc. But for me (and I’m biased), I would have given it to Insko. Beat Cowan in the quarters, Rider in the semis and Yost in the finals. There were a few very deserving individuals and I can see how you could give it to about 7–8 guys.

    Place your bets ! Place your bets !

    Are the seeds legitimate seeds or is it random draw like the High School? I remember watching Bryce Sheffer vs Trent Johnson wrestling in the quarterfinals on a Friday afternoon. Arguably the reason for legit seeding at state tournaments. I would think track criteria would be easy to use, just like every other tournament. I apologize if I'm speaking out of ignorance. Just my 2 cents.
  9. I wish track had a ranking system that used the same criteria as it does for every tournament (head to head, common opponents, record, pins, tech’s, majors, etc). It would alleviate a lot of bitching (I could be wrong) and Ranger would have a lot more time to do other stuff. I appreciate the time spent to comb through the state and put the rankings together. It can’t be fun or easy.

    2020 NHSCA DUALS

    Taylor County might have someone that’s interested. Please contact Ben.ellard@taylor.kyschools.us
  11. My favorite is when there’s a fight over the 2 v 3 seeds.

    Wrestling as a team sport

    How do you sharpen iron without another piece of iron to sharpen it with? Sure, only one person gets their hand raised at the end of a match, but those wars in the practice room with partners the spectators don’t see is why that hand gets raised. How many backups push those Union County/Johnson Central/Walton Verona/Christian County/etc kids that we never hear about? They’re just as valuable to the state champ as the state champ is to the team.

    Surprises for next year

    Those weights are from preseason rankings based on a weight class they made in February. I have no doubt he will fit in seamlessly and Union will have the best team we’ve seen in a VERY long time.

    Closest Program to Bowling Green?

    Taylor County is about 1.5 hrs away from Bowling Green. We are in EST, so it depends on if you’re okay with the time change. We are the only county in the state with a youth, middle school, high school, and college programs for men and women. We have a lot to offer in terms of pathways in school as well. The wrestling team has only been around for 6 years, but has accumulated quite a few accolades in our short history - which has dramatically increased expectations on and off the mat. If you’re interested, we’d love to have you join our young, but seasoned team.

    2020 State Date

    Wow. When is MS regionals?

    2020 State Date

    I believe Girl's State and MS state were scheduled for that day. I could be wrong though. It's like pulling teeth to get gyms scheduled in February due to basketball reigning supreme at most schools. I'm not surprised by this, though. Nobody wants to go back to the horse park, deal with allergies, and experience a lack of passion from the higher ups who make the decision for us, so it's no surprise they made the decisions they did. It's frustrating. Here's to hoping KHSAA can improve on the worst state tournament in history.
