    Nkawtg, look at the results nation wide and then comeback to argue. I’m not gonna do your homework for you, but your theory is going to be shot all to hell. I don’t have a problem with adding to weight classes no matter how light or heavy or anywhere in between. As long as it promotes wrestling, I’m in favor. Your idea cuts kids out. That does not promote growth. If an 8th grade girl beats a 12th grade boy for a KHSAA State Championship, I guess that is one badass girl. Just saying

    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. 

    Easy for you to have that perspective when your a Union Co fan. Imagine being a Johnson Central fan watching that team winning their first State Duals with kids and parents excited to turn around and possibly lose to Union in a dual where there is nothing to gain. There isn’t an “overall State Duals Championship” so there is no reason for the dual. Coach Matney made a great decision for his program. On a side note, Union could have their hands full with Paducah Tillman on the small school side this year.

    I think the most logical lineup would to keep Gabe at 132, insert Insko at 138, and the rest all bump up a weight class. No one loses a spot at all.

    Union has kids ranked from 132-HWT. If you insert Insko at 138 and bump everyone, someone loses a spot. Most likely will affect Moore, Calloway, or Pike.

    Insko is super tough, but...where does he make the line up? He can’t make 132 anymore and Union has #3 ranked Adams 12th grade. 138 is no guarantee with #2 ranked Pogue 12th grade , 145 he has #2 ranked Carr, 152 is #1 ranked Russelburg, 160 is #1 ranked Little. Wish him all the best, but someone in this room isn’t gonna be very happy. Not sure who it will be.

    I would say that being an All American in any division is some pretty lofty goals. I am proud of all of our Kentucky boys, especially the ones that choose to challenge themselves in college. Sean Fausz, Nathan Boston and Austin Meyers are a few of the elite by far, but we can’t all live up to that level no matter the training. I am so proud of all of Kentucky boys that chooses to compete at the next level. If they make their respective national tournament, no matter the division, even better. We can argue about this and that all we want. The bottom line is we are improving.

    I've heard some rumblings about a possible huge transfer to the region 6 area.  That could really change the outlook of some of the team places. 

    I'll leave it at that, and see if anyone can expand on it, otherwise I'll believe the whispers were just whispers in the wind. :ph34r:

    What weight class would this "possible huge transfer" wrestle?
