    Brandon we didn't do that this year an we footed the bill for all the awards, we let the Regional host's keep all the proceeds for their programs. This years youth was a record number (1320), that will definitely be capped next year, I never though we would've got that many kids participating

    Good problem to have.  The sport is growing here.  Thought it was well ran considering the number of kids.

    Let’s just be honest and keep it 100. If you are 15 or almost 16, whatever, in MS in 8th grade, like that’s just a shame unless you’re special needs. I get it happens in eastern KY probably more than anywhere in the state but it’s shameful, unless your child legitimately needs an extra year academically. There should be some more criteria for this. But that’s not the fault of the parents it’s fault of the governing body. 

    What if their parents think they need another year athletically.   I personally know alot more kids that get 100% of their tuition paid for through athletes than academics.  Nothing shameful about it.  No denying it helps so why not do it.

    Well I can understand that somewhat but here is the way I see it 4th grade is not a middle schooler so why are they there in the first place should only be 6th 7th 8th just like people letting there middle school kid wrestle HighSchool then get on here an try to convince everyone that held there kid back how wrong they are just my opinion 

    I'd say they just allow it so the lower weights will get filled

    I held my boy back during the covid year because I didn't want him starting a new grade sitting at home.  Probably would have anyway though.  Just weighing the positives vs negatives I just feel like might as well do it. If they are in sports and have dreams of competing at the next level I don't see how being a year older would hurt.  Alot of the younger ones end up with red shirt year anyway. Dept of Education steers kids away from it because it cost the state more money to get them through school.  Has nothing to do with what's best for the kid.  Just my take on it.

    Aren’t the Raney’s wrestling HS? They should win that easily so why do MS? Or is it just speculation that they’ll do both? 

    Im sure it would have something to do with the team title.  Although they are way ahead of the competition in KY at the middle school level Id say a team title still means something to them and their team.

    You have a point but Matney and Peyton have not wrestled and I could not find results for Eastern teams so I was not sure Matney was still at 70

    Matney was listed at 70 at their dual last week but no results were posted.  A friend of mine in eastern KY said matney was at 75 this year so who knows?  My boy wrestles around that weight and based on what we have seen at 70 and results vs common opponents Hawk and Matney are probably at the top for 70.

    I took 3 kids to skin and nail checks at weigh in and they checked them.  I didnt care much for the smaller mats. Gotta give the kids room to wrestle.   Keep stopping and resetting ruins the match.  Hope they move it to a more centralized location next year.  The drive to Pikeville sucks.  I'd rather go to Lexington or Louisville.
