I believe he's not the only one there. I cannot wait for his story to come out. Talk about not giving up on yourself. 

There are a few in every weight not ranked that made it through. That’s just how the numbers work. Are you talking about Jj Poynter winning 157?

Agreed. Coach teeter said they call it semis state and consider it state due to khsaa wanting to increase numbers at the state tournament. Which makes no sense to me. No one considers semi state the same as state. I’m wonder if it changes where the money goes. If the khsaa considers semi state the same tournament state does it mean they get the gate money?  Does it change the profit?  

Yes, they get the money.

More than one unranked kids in region 1 qualified. 

True, but Lee had a pretty bad record and stepped up. 
Makiq Crosby at 120 was unranked and got 3rd at 120.

Or maybe they will realize that they are beyond Middle School and not bother. 

Leavell going to skip it?

Oh I see what you are saying- so this had never had a reason to be addressed before.

Yes. It’s never been a big deal until now. Last year Jordyn Raney won ms, then 2 weeks later won high school. Gonna be a little different this year after high school. There will be 6 or 8 high school placers going back to ms.

The goal isn't to make people happy, it's too have the 8 best guys in the quarters, the 4 best in the semis, and the two best in the finals. 

The lazy way that we're doing it definitely isn't accomplishing this. 

I agree. I’m just saying that’s why they don’t. 

[State first round?]

This really makes zero sense. Some of these kids will see the same guys 3 weeks in a row. It’s just dumb. How many times does Thornton have to wrestle Thomas, Brown wrestle Raney. We need a bigger arena and a 32 man state.

It's really going to affect the kids the loser gets in the consolations more in the long run. 

Yes!  When the number 2 kid in state loses to the number 1 in the quarters or semis, they go through and kick out lots of deserving kids. Happens every year.

Does anyone know for certain why we don’t just seed the tournaments?

Because any way you do it, someone gets pissed.

Random draw is terrible.  Kinley and Giannone on the same side

McCune and Rider and Beane and Andreoni are on the same side.

So let me get this straight… a kid cannot place in top 4 at middle school then compete their age/weight at youth state. But a kid can go to high school state and win/place and can still win/place same at middle school?!? Something seems wrong with this if I’m understanding correctly?!?

please clarify.

That’s it.

Unranked Lee of Tilghman finished 3rd at 144 in region 1.

Looks like we will find out an noon tomorrow. 

[Semi state seeding]

Does anyone have an answer of what happens next? Track seeding? Coaches seeding? Random 1v4, 2v3?

Not correct Dr. Baker on 2 points… Jordyn Raney (Union) Was MOW last Year from 105 and below. Rider Trumble (Ryle) was Mow 113 and above 

 

Awesome. I missed last year. 

[Top picks for Middle School]

They have both dominated their classes for years and haven’t received mow. They might need to change the rule and give it to two.

Aren’t the Raney’s wrestling HS? They should win that easily so why do MS? Or is it just speculation that they’ll do both? 

They are going to do both. 

[Next 4 time champs.]

Not to jinx it and Whorton plans to stop it, but Jenkins and Meyer are looking towards it too. 

[Dropping weight classes cause your scared!]

People have always cut weight. Pretty normal thing in wrestling. 

[Next 4 time champs.]

Never a shoe in. Thornton is for real. 

[2017 ms 86lb bracket.]

What happened with Luke Chapman? 

[Next 4 time champs.]

There have been 7 4 timers in Ky. Cole Thomas looks to join the super exclusive club this month. Super impressive feet. The list of state champs he’s beating continues to grow.  A couple other 9th graders are ranked really high and could be setting up to make a 4 year run.
