I absolutely agree!! It’s really sad that Youth Wrestling in KY comes down to all of this crying. It will do absolutely nothing but hold our athletes back. Wrestling is dominate in several other states & they openly allow and welcome Club Duel teams (and it shows in their athlete success and rankings). Ultimately its the kids kids that lose when adults whine and cry because they don’t feel like something is fair. No athlete is going to get better unless they are encouraged to take chances and wrestle harder competition. I am thankful for the relationship that the Warhawks have with the Cardinals. Our kids are pretty awesome and they work together well. Practice is fun when we have Cardinals show up to drill with us. It helps all of our athletes grow.

Like I said, my kid is NOT a Juggernaut, but he is a Warhawk. If he wanted to be a part of the Juggernaut team he should’ve wrestled harder. There’s no shame and no bad blood. These kids still practice together and see each other every week. They’re all still friends.

My kid wasn’t on the Juggernauts, but he is a Warhawk. Is it a rule that kids cannot compete for two different Sanctioned teams? If this is the case than NO club wrestler would be eligible to wrestle for their Schools youth program. Both the Warhawks & the East Ky Juggernauts are USA Wrestling Chartered Club Teams. We both serve the Youth in Eastern Kentucky—and Eastern KY is obviously underserved in Youth Wrestling because we are 2 of 4 teams that serve Pike, Floyd, Martin, Johnson, Perry, & Lawrence Counties.
