from the Paducah paper in December: Paducah Tilghman’s Caleb Mays signed to continue his wrestling career at the collegiate level with Central Methodist University in Fayette, MO, on Dec. 15 in a ceremony held at Tilghman. The Blue Tornado began his career in wrestling at the age of five years old with the Anna-Jonesboro Junior Wildcats. He continued to wrestle with USA Wrestling’s Future Olympians in the seventh grade. While at Anna-Jonesboro High School, Mays wrestled in his first three high school years in the 132 and 145-lb weight classes. “We are grateful to have a young man as motivated and driven as Caleb is to be a part of our program,” head coach Seth Livingston said. “He’s been here just a few months but has made an immediate impact. The commitment that he’s made to improving is unmatched. He was a sought-after recruit because college coaches saw in him the love of doing the work and the love of the sport. “I am confident that he will take that commitment with him into college and do well.” Report an ad He qualified for the Illinois High School Association state wrestling tournament during his sophomore and junior years at Anna-Jonesboro. Mays transferred to Paducah Tilghman as a senior and is currently wrestling with the Blue Tornado There is certainly nothing wrong with a kid changing schools to find a better opportunity to wrestle in big matches. did his dad Grover remain the coach at Anna Jonesboro? they had a good season too but probably wish they had their 145

why is he listed on the Anna Janesboro '22-23 roster? join PT team mid season? https://aj81.net/athletics/wrestling/ either way, congrats to PT.

Reading through this I feel truly blessed that my era wrestled the 16 man, 2 day bracket at Frankfort Civic Center. It was the climax of state championship tourneys for our state. That building was electric for semis and finals. That should be the goal for event planning the tournament. How can we recreate that enviro and location?

Schools with Their First Qualifiers
CradleKY replied to Coach Burton's topic in High School Wrestling
This year there are 104 teams represented at the state tournament. The most ever. This is so cool to me. So many new programs, girls wrestling on the verge of being sanctioned. Well done, KY Wrestling Community and coaches. -
Union County wins Drennan (Father Ryan)
CradleKY replied to Wrestling Dad's topic in High School Wrestling
I was looking over the tourney results. I think this is maybe the most impressive tournament win for any KY program outside of the state. They handled business and left a mark in TN. -
sounds like that can maybe happen in 4 years
-
Feel pretty bad for this last few years of wrestlers that have to deal with this crap. 2023 needs to be a mission to get back to the best of KY wrestling. one state tournament in a nice venue with pageantry and celebration of the hard work it took to get there.

Biggest Upsets State 1st Round
CradleKY replied to UndefeatedWarior1986's topic in High School Wrestling
News Flash: injuries happen in wrestling. its part of the sport. you don't get to say someone isn't worthy of a win bc they theoretically would've lost if a guy wasn't injured. Only one guy won. Congrats to him. -
makes no sense to me.
-
He just dominated. folks better look out before Moore finds himself in the rankings next month.

Kentuckywrestling.com 2021-22 Rankings - December 22

It was cool to be flippin channels the other night and see Spencer in a dual on Big10 network against Nebraska. He totally held his own against a 24 yr old ranked in the top 20. Looking forward to following his career.

just allow 3 more pounds

Big and small divisions and 32 man brackets? So 64 wrestlers qualify for state?
-
you could start in mid March, have a 6 week season and then Regions by mid-May. may even get lucky and not have to share gym space with bball teams.
-
Pushing the start of season until Spring seems like the only option that could salvage a season. Is this being discussed? Sure wouldn't want to barge ahead ignoring the last two weeks of data and risk having it all shut down in January, costing another group of seniors their chance at one last state tourney. Just one fan's opinion. Not a coach or parent.

Heck Hall had a close match in the semis if I remember. His time in KY wasn't a cake walk. But he was so young then.
-
thanks for taking me back!! and of course Woodford embraced it. They used it as fuel and motivation. How bad do you fight for an escape when a gym full of screaming people just went crazy after you've been taken down? Harder than you've ever fought before. And the results speak for themselves.

Back in the 90s it felt like there was a good bit of rivalrying between Woodford Co and the Lexington teams. I remember being in gyms where if a Lexington kid was in the finals with a woodford kid he had 80% of the fans on his side....even his own crosstown rival school would cheer for him to beat Woodford. Don't feel like that's been the case for the last decade but I'd let those who are involved like Coach Teater speak on it more.

Sorry man I misunderstood your point.
