As I look at fat tests and rosters, I see that lots of spots are wide open for state. As always, any input is welcomed.

It’s just a different point of view. We aren’t that far off. Some of us love the team aspect, some don’t. Some want the toughest matches right before state, some want to rest. In the big scheme of things, it doesn’t matter much.

I ask every weekend and all I hear is crickets. Looks like most schools are waiting until Dec to get started. Looks like a great turnout at Woodford

I mean they should (if healthy) be able to compete with the big schools, not that they should compete in the division.

My thought process is that Union dominated the small schools last year. They wanted some tough matches to gear up for state and didn't really get it. If Boise State dominates all the teams they play, shouldn't they get a shot at the big schools?

Small schools have always wrestled the big schools as far as I know none have backed down from a challenge. This year Union, Tilghman and Walton Verona should compete with the best big schools.

I'm looking at weights and results. Its hard to do middle school rankings. lol They should fall into place a little better after Walton Verona's Tourney next weekend.

I for one love the team aspect. I was never good enough to beat Joe Carr, but I could do my part to beat someone in my weight class for a team win. I really do like the split. It gives teams a chance to compete. Its rare that a small school can hang with St X, Trinity, and Ryle, but Union is that exception. I think exemptions to the rules can happen. Why not bump Union up and let Tilghman, Walton Verona, and Larue battle it out for a small school title?

Kid is really good. We will probably see him go to a big private school.

I don't disagree with that point of view at all. I'm looking forward to a dual against Tilghman on Jan 17th.

Why- because they they dominated the small schools last year and they would want the challenge. I do understand why they have divisions. In the case of how small KY is, it's kind of useless. And, I do think it should be mandatory. Fans pay money to watch the best teams wrestle and didn't get to see it.

Looks like the hotels in Pikeville are full. People are getting rooms in Prestonsburg 35 mins away.

Gonna be a great tourney. I'm ready to head out asap!

I thought the same thing when he said that, lol. I do think Union should be entered into the big school side this year.

Keaton Elliot and Ethan Futrell are on Calloway County's roster. Great additions to that team. Austin Grant-Hall (state placer in 7th grade) is added to Christian Co. I'm sure they all will enter the rankings.

I see preseason Nationals in Wisconsin. Not sure what else is going on.

Trinity is ranked ahead of STX in 9 classes, STX -3 . Trinity has 5 #1s and Stx has 3. Fun to watch out all play out. You know they both will fill out their rosters and have great teams.

They are Nov 2nd in Garrison, OH. Anyone in?

What are the new rules?

Another big one is coming up. Who's in?

Stephen Little- champ (did not give up point) Levid Rodriguez- 5th Payne Carr- 6th Jake Insko- 7th Paxton Ervin- 7th Eli Peyton- made it to the blood round (5-2) Trayce Eckman- went 4-2 Middle school- Jayden Raney- 1st Jordyn Raney- 2nd Lucas Ricketts- 5th

It's well deserved.

For youth or middle? What county are you in? How far do you want to drive?

Did anyone ever make a map with a dot for every team in the state? I feel like I've seen it, but can't find it.
