Adkins and Baldwin are doing Team Kentucky Football this weekend I believe. Also have several Ky kids wrestling at Virginia Beach today as well.

Would you be willing to call me, share your 3 region champs or even share what region your in so I can try to investigate as to who you are and why you didn’t get the invitation. I’m really trying to be helpful and make sure all the invitations get to the right people but it makes it difficult if I don’t have your information.

I sent you a private message with my phone number. I’ve got the original distribution list and would like to double check the list to look for errors with emails etc.

Only Coaches with Regional Champions will receive the invite as they are the only kids with seeding criteria. Its always a good idea to check junk/spam folders as well. Checked mine this morning and that’s where I found it.

Congratulations Nicky G. Couldn’t happen to a better kid.

On behalf of the Matney family and the entire Eagle Nation, we want to thank everyone that came to the visitation/funeral, those who called to offer their prayers, support or sent flowers and everything else you did for us in this difficult time, we sincerely thank you. Wrestling is such a special sport that is surrounded by special people and through this very difficult time you have shown it. Thank you all Isaiah 40:31

I want to say thank you for your prayers for our beloved coach, his family and my friend. Please continue to remember them in prayer. I wanted to share this link as it is a testament to what he has instilled in our boys and our community. God is still on his throne, even in hard times. https://www.facebook.com/100000911046483/posts/6313768431996796/?d=n

Registration for the youth state tournament was inadvertently closed at some point today. The issue has since been corrected and registration is open till 10:00am EST tomorrow 3-6-21

The meeting is scheduled for 8:00 pm Eastern 3-2-21

Just for thought, capacity is based on local county health department recommendations. The Appalachian Wireless center was essentially donated for the middle school and youth tournaments last season as well as this current season. The capacity for the arena during covid has been set at just over 7000.

We have I spot available for a quad at Johnson Central High School. Coach Matney 606-793-3613 Kelly Castle 606-792-6149

I Agree with you 100% on a birth certificate being the only deciding document for proof of age. I’m my previous comment I believe I came across misunderstood (my fault) when I stated that I personally didn’t want to see a birth certificate. I was trying to come across from the stand point of (at the scale if no challenge were issued)In the case of a situation where age is challenged, like the one mentioned, I absolutely want to see that document and only that document. In every youth tournament I have been associated with the challenge process is simple, if age is challenged it is the responsibility of the opposing coach to provide proof of age and only a birth certificate will do. I hope this clears up where I stand on proof of age requirements.

If by no, you really mean no as in no skin checks and nails. I would like to politely correct you. I know of a couple hundred that were on the day of. Reason being I was that guy doing so. I would also like to add that birth certificates are never looked at until a child’s age is challenged by an opposing coach. They have personal identifying information on them and I personally don’t want to see it unless necessary

OK... Who had Johnson Central picked with 5 finalist and 3 champs ? If so ,you are the best prognosticator !!!

Congratulations ,Johnson Central, who beat its closest opponent Union County by 50 points.

The Louisville Arena charged us $10,000 plus charged each person $10 to park last year. The city of Pikeville and East Ky is paying a much nicer Expo Center Arena bill for us in full. Thus they are donating 10K plus free parking to Youth Wrestling. Also I am told we might be looking at record numbers in the youth division this year.

How about Johnson Central MS defeating Union County 48-32 for the State Dual Championship Put that group with the almost all freshman /Sophmore group that Johnson Central wrestled in the State Duals should make for an interesting 2021 State Duals

Johnson Central 76 Tates Creek 6 Johnson Central 81 Dunbar 0 Johnson Central 72 Montgomery Co 3 Johnson Central 78 Henry Clay 3 Johnson Central 69 Madison Central 12

These are un official scores. I was in and out watching 2 tournaments at the same time.

Also, I believe JC already has a common football opponent with Union County. Madisonville North Hopkins

OK.....Just got this word from Johnson Central. JC has 3 football games open this upcoming season and will pay all expenses { travel and hotel } for Union Co to travel to Johnson Central. JC will return the home game the following season to Union. They will trade home wrestling matches in the reverse home and away order. A few years ago JC lost a state place winner that transferred to Union Co. Many things were rumored such as jobs and a place to live. Neither Coach Matney or I believe all this actually occurred but it cooled a very close relationship with Union County. I think he absolutely likes Robert Ervin. And is still very close to the Walls family. BTW the JC HS wrestling team takes on Parkersburg South and Point Plesant HS tomorrow after having wrestled Grundy Va twice already.. If you know anything about wrestling that tells you JC is not afraid to wrestle anyone
