  1. You can not remove a weight class just because its weaker in one state.  KY is still having issue filling brackets at the region level from top to bottom.  Numbers are dropping across the board in male wrestling and you want to take away even more.  I promise you being a prior 13 year wrestler out of PA there are plenty Junior/Senior wrestlers country wide that would put many 113/120 wrestlers down.  This argument has no point what so ever or any beneficial reasoning behind it like alot of unessacary things brought up on here.  Let the kids wrestle and enjoy the sport and stop trying to take away from the point and fun of it to them.  Your a coach/parent be one.

  2. How is it that a 1 and 2 from same region make it to same side of a bracket and will hit each other 2nd round if they both win.  1 should have been top 2 bottom vise versa.  At 86 Isaac Johns Carr and James Morris JC were in the finals at region 4 together.  Shouldn't be on same side of bracket.  Not a coach of either just confusing.

  3. The rules are if you place at MS State in top 6 you can not wrestle the next day at the Youth State, but if your wrestler chooses to wrestle in MS regions and places in top 4 which qualifies them for MS State they should not be aloud to wrestle at the Youth Region or State.  Its one or the other, not giving 2 opportunities at 2 different state tournaments. There are coaches that are having their wrestlers wrestle MS regions on Sat. and placing top 4 then turn around and wrestling Youth Regions the next day.  That should not be an option.

    Just trying to push to have things the same way here as every where else.  


  4. Just my point of view coming from another state.  When is KY going to stop allowing wrestlers who wrestle at the MS regions and place from turning around and wrestling in the Youth Region tournament.  If you decide to register your wrestler for the MS tournament and they place they should forfeit the right to wrestle at the youth tournament just to get extra matches, it takes away from the less experienced at the youth level that can not compete at the MS level.  If you attend the MS region tournament and place in top 4 you should be locked into MS state.  If you think your wrestler is a step up then they should be seeking to wrestle the harder division to better themselves and looking to face the better wrestlers, not step back down just to get wins.  

     That or make the MS tournament MS 6-8 and the Youth,  Youth K-5 only like every other state.  One other thing, the Youth Region should be same as MS.  The weight you wrestle at Regions should be the weight you are locked into for state.  I know a lot of individuals will wrestle one weight at regions then try to cut or go up a class to dodge certain individuals and most of that is on Coaches/Parents.  This should not be an option for these wrestlers at this age.  I know everyone wants their kids to be state champs but being a Youth/MS State Champion means 0 when it comes to their future.  Becoming a better wrestler and individual does.  

    If KY wrestling wants to catch up to surrounding areas we need to start by doing things right across the board to get these wrestlers boys/girls to where they need to be.
