    Kiser beat Virzi twice last year I think then lost in the finals. From a coaching perspective I wouldn’t want to wrestle that match this close to state. From a fan perspective it’s great. But it will come down to the draw. They could meet in the semis. 
     

    I still think Ricketts is the man at 175. James looks good. Davis pinned Strayer last year and seems like he has beat him a few times (middle school state). 

    Joshua beat Davis before Middle School State and then lost to him in overtime on a sketchy call, but still lost. At semi state last year Joshua controlled the match and beat him and Duke. At State Joshua took a lazy , lousy shot and paid for it, but again yes he did lose. Just offering perspective cause at the end of the day he still has to wrestle the match and I will never speak in absolutes since i'm not the one in the circle. I'm happy to see Duke back and healthy and I think Soeder is back which is a great addition to the field although he wrestled 190 at the Dragon. These boys have battled through injuries and its good to see them back for their Senior year!

    Warhawk Classic: Looks like this tournament is growing into one of the more competitive tournaments in central Kentucky, but I may be a little biased (if you are over on the other side of the state, Paducah Tilghman has a head banger)

    106: Both #3 Jackson Wells and  #2 Henry Koller meet little resistance on their way to meeting in the finals where Jackson Wells pulls off a very convincing victory majoring Henry Koller 10-2

    113: A stacked weight class with 8 of the top 11 ranked wrestlers competing, #1 Ren Birk comes out with a strong showing with a TF over #4 Christian Delos Santos. #2 Kapela Joseph squeaks by Carson webster in a tie breaker. This bracket only placed out to 4th otherwise we would have seen a #6 Menchacha and #8 Kimery matchup. #11 Drexler and #9 Webster fell in the blood rounds.

    120: Not quite as stacked with 4 of the top 12 ranked, nevertheless all four placing with #3 Dennis pinning #4 Davis in the finals and #6 Brown edging out #11 Gipson taking 3rd place.

    126: Biggest match here was in the finals with #6 Rowdy Benner getting it done with a decision (5-1) over #5 Condi. Looks like Colton Motta (ranked 14 at 132) has come down to 126 with a strong showing pinning #9 Wasson for 3rd place.

    132: Not sure #2 TJ Meyer broke a sweat as he waltzed through the bracket

    138: We had the middle of the pack from the rankings here with most falling between #7 and #19, we also had Perrysburg Invitational (Toledo Ohio) Champ, Evergreens Jack Stubleski, come down and mix things up beating #14 Xavier Gonzalez in Sudden Victory in the finals. #19 Kayson White also emerges with a strong showing placing 3rd with a decision over #7 Baysinger taking 3rd

    150: #8 Clayton Shaddix climbs the ladder majoring #6 Jacob Wolfe in the semifinals to meet #1 Miller Brown in the finals but unfortunately there was a medical forfeit, a match for a later date.

    157: Shakeup at 157, #3 Pinkston edges out #2 Sentelle with a 4-3 decision in a match that could go either way. Pinkston survives #6 Reese McGill in the finals with a 3-0 decision.

    165: #2 Aiden Butler has a strong showing pinning his way to the finals facing #6 Tristin Millet surviving the match with a 11-9 decision.

    175: Looks like Joshua Strayer is back with a tech-fall and two first period pins on his way to the finals where he pins #5 Logan Dingus in a convincing victory.

    Does any of the money from region tournaments go to kfwc?  If not it should.  That way there wouldn't be a need for so many kids at youth state as far as money goes.  I know in football khsaa gets alot of the gate money from playoff games.  

    Brandon we didn't do that this year an we footed the bill for all the awards, we let the Regional host's keep all the proceeds for their programs. This years youth was a record number (1320), that will definitely be capped next year, I never though we would've got that many kids participating

    You could argue St Paris Graham in Ohio (A division 2 school) would compete for the big school title every year. 

     

    We lost to them by a decision back in December and we were missing 2 starters and they were missing one. I think its all about how you match up and your ability to shift around. Except for Union, no matter what they just smoke everyone.
