    Middle School wrestlers can wrestle both Youth and Middle School Regionals. If they are a MS wrestler, they have to wrestle MS regionals and place top 4 to move on to MS State. No Youth only wrestlers at MS regionals. If a MS wrestler places at MS State, they are out of Youth State. If a MS wrestler wrestles at MS State but doesn't place, they are able to wrestle at Youth State. They will need to weigh in at Youth State if they don't make it to MS State.

    Thanks that’s what I was needing to know

    Going to have a hard time finding kids across the state travel to Johnson Central. Wish this was more centrally located. 

    Johnson Central travels every where don’t see why it’s hard for them to get people to travel there

     Unlike Facebook, the majority of people on here have a true love for the sport and the kids that participate in it. I’ve been involved with  Kentucky wrestling for the last 10-11 years and I can tell you there are some incredible people from around the state on this site just passing along their opinions  and some great ideas. The keyboard warriors on social media do it more for division of our country and hatred. Everyone on here have the same goals to better the support and for the love of these athletes. But I appreciate your comment and wish you the best this  post season for your wrestler. 

    Thanks I appreciate that. And I also got love for this sport I’m just meaning my 12 yr old son has more pride than to blame coaches or blame other people for his loses he sucks it up and takes it he don’t like and yes he will cry from time to time but he don’t care if the kid come from a small school or a big school or who the coaches of the kid is or if the kid drops weight or bumps up. And what I’m meaning is why don’t the address the problems at the match. Also I’m not meaning on this thread of all the crying I’m talking about everything I read someone is hating on the winners and saying why didn’t they do this or that. And I just thought you told it like it is because some of the schools you mentioned do have millionaires backing them and they wrestle all year and some of the other schools train in locker rooms and only wrestle few months out of the year and they hold there own.

    I agree 100% that we are on the right track of bringing quality and quantity  up by using this method. Some parts of the state barely have enough kids to fill the top 4 MS Regional Qualifiers. So if we remove those opportunities, then we also remove those numbers from the MS State.  Look it doesn’t hurt anyone, having these “border line” wrestlers competing on both levels. They are still kids! Until we have the numbers of participants and quality coaches and programs around the state like Ohio, PA and States like these, we have to quit comparing Kentucky to these States. If you follow the success of the programs/ regions around the state, you see that it’s driven by the coaches and parents involved in the youth, MS and HS. Look at McCraddle sorry “McCracken”. You can name the coaches and parents involved in building quality and quantity. They have there own barge company, private jets to bring in rock star college wrestlers to teach there 300+ youth that live in the county, how to run a cradle from any position on the mat. Union County, fill in the blank for the first name and put Ervin behind it!! They have coaches/parents like Jon Carr that will pack kids in a van and drive them all over the country buiding quality. (I was hoping they’d adopt Cole “Ervin”) Christian County brings Dee Leavell on and this teams on fire!! This guy is having bake sales and t shirt sales to raise money for his team to have better gear and traveling money to be the best!! Issac Knable with St X and the followers they have. He even built a factory across the River from Louisville that produces these little hammers and the quanity/quality is showing!!Johnson Central looks like a Football Team turned wrestlers!! Maybe because the head coach is one and the same!!! And then there’s the “Northern Kentucky” Mafia”. A bunch of Hall of Fame Old Head Coaches with Dads that build barns and wood sheds to train in. Move mats in trailers to whatever location they can find when school is closed to train. Recruits 1/2 the football team while being a water boy for your sons team. Get jobs with the school systems so you can recruit the basketball kids that are cut from team. Have 5 programs from NKY bringing down over 1/3 of the total participants of the youth state. That is quanity in search of quality!!!! Guys this has been a favorite topic of mine for 9 years now. We have to just keep doing our best in our own home towns. Getting the kids out. Finding great Moms and Dads that love wrestling and build your biggest youth program. Then get them to buy into the dream of staying together through the MS and HS grind to chase a championship. The associations job should always be to support every program trying to accomplish this goal. Then we will have the quanity with the quality!! Best of luck to each of your kids in post season!!!! 

    Gameface this has been the best comment I’ve seen. And your right. I’m pretty new to this group but I can tell you there is more crying here then they are on Facebook hahaha

    I thought wrestling was supposed to  create  boys to men. Now it’s looking like a lot of crying on here. I’m just going by reading all the comments and never seen grown men cry like this just move on and try to be better next season. Heck thats all you can do it’s not going to change anything.
