Thank you Ranger, Joshua is excited to compete and looks forward to the event!

35 minutes ago, Ranger123 said:I think this is one we just have to learn from. It is my understanding that the KHSAA basically put semi-state on the calendar as a two day event. Most coaches to my knowledge pushed to have it in a single day to minimize travel and expense and probably a number of other issues. Also remember the coaches made this current semi-state format recommendation to the KHSAA (and I thought it was a huge improvement over last year) and to their credit they listened to the feedback and implemented it. So while it sounds like both UC and GC did a great job running the events, there are some changes that need to be made to make it more fan friendly and probably a better experience for the competitors. Under this format there will be no awards as the KHSAA views it as the first "round" of the state event. I agree that is a bit confusing for us wrestling folks, but it might be something we just have to get used to, at least until we have a better format in place. On the venues, from what I recall not many folks were beating the KHSAA doors down to host these events. The host likely didn't make anything when all was said and done. Simply just had the headaches and backaches of running a long wrestling tournament.
When all is said and done, we are finishing up a full wrestling season that will include a great state event this weekend. If we go into the weekend whining and complaining before we get to GRC, we will likely find plenty more to complain about. Let's enjoy the last week of the season and if you are so inclined share your constructive thoughts AND IDEAS with coaches and administrators that can hopefully affect some change. I was at Great Crossing, hopefully doing more good than harm helping jnv, and had a great conversation with our new KHSAA wrestling leader. He wants to understand our sport better and make positive change where it makes sense.
You are absolutely correct. We came out of this weekend with plenty of ideas for improvements going forward. One of which was this really should've been a two day event for a multitude of reasons. The conversations I had with our new KHSAA leader led me to believe he is interested in learning our sport and he as well was looking for ways to better the event, I believe. And Ranger you were absolutely more help than a hindrance.

You are absolutely correct Chris, I screwed up on that end...but I think we bought all the food up in Georgetown in order to feed half the state

And I totally agree...

31 minutes ago, Chris Duke said:You didn’t miss a thing. Just some Karen bellyaching about how tough the other semi state is at 150.
Ahh gotcha, hey didn't get a chance to shake Calebs hand after the boys wrestled, I had to go fix an issue...tell him I said good job.....see yall in Winchester, maybe we can find a good breakfast place....

1 hour ago, tcats said:Semi state 2 was a statement that wrestling is second rate and a nuisance to the KHSAA.. What is supposed to be a post season event felt like a glorified scrimmage. No Awards, no fanfare, no celebration of the hard work these young men and women have put in all season No KHSAA representation for at least the first 2 hours of a KHSAA post season "event".We was informed about 8:50 that the parade of champions that was scheduled for 9:00 was not going to happen because "we did not want to be there until midnight" then stood around 45 minutes waiting for matches to start. We have regressed since the dungeon in Frankfort The KHSAA needs to do better. the wrestling community, the parents and most importantly the kids deserve better. They deserve a venue. They deserve the same respect that other sports receive. Put the basketball sweet 16 at a high school gym and see what happens.
So let me start by saying I agree with most of what you are saying but lets shed a little light on a couple of your statements. Were you aware there was 5 scratches that rollups had to be done for and and furthermore KHSAA wanted to control how those rollups were done. There was also a delay while waiting on KHSAA to make a decision on an issue with 215, so there is your 45 minutes. There was a decision made to scratch the parade in order to keep the tournament on track and not keep those wrestlers, their families and fans there any longer than needed since we knew it was going to be a long day, I don't remember anybody speaking up when asked if anybody had an issue with the decision, as a matter of fact I believe everybody was onboard. The last match was wrestled at 8:07 pm, 14 full 16 man brackets of competitive wrestlers, if I recall everyone seemed onboard to knock this out in one day vice two days but I could be wrong.

There should be a huge outcry from anyone who cares about wrestling!!!
So I am curious of your opinion of the other tournament? Or are you echoing your dislike of us being stuck with this semi-state format?

Did I miss something at Semi-State #2 and more specifically I guess 150??

Appreciate it..

7 minutes ago, Tbagnky said:Ryle did win section 2. GC beat CC in semifinals. Conner lost to Ryle in semis. GC conceded to Ryle. Conner is challenging for true 2nd. Have to work out a date for dual to take place. This was the last I heard on this. I may be wrong.
We were supposed to wrestle at our place yesterday but were informed last week by Conner that they were shutdown for 10 days for COVID so they conceded.

3 hours ago, CUTiger184 said:We haven't wrestled GC in a dual. He may have saw the results from the first tournament of the year. Everyone had holes that day, so not a fair assessment.
Yup, unfortunately we were out 4 starters and had nobody at 113 so we were really down 5 and still placed runner-up.
