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

Does any of the money from region tournaments go to kfwc? If not it should. That way there wouldn't be a need for so many kids at youth state as far as money goes. I know in football khsaa gets alot of the gate money from playoff games.

They raised Emorys hand. Cam got close to a takedown in the final seconds.

Somerset is not listed in any region on track. Does the team have to register for kids to enter the individual.

Kylon Williams 215 is at Somerset.

Can't afford it

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.

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.

Can 15yo 8th graders wrestle middle school?

It's a joke. Youth should be able to do both youth and middle school. Or make 12u and 14u at youth state for beginners or kids that didn't Qual through regional. Also don't understand why held back 3rd grade kids can't do middle school.

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.

Its in corbin not Belfry

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 think it would be nice to have rankings posted. Its good to know where to go to find good matches in state.

Kayson White for 92

Who are some of the top 70 lb kids? Are there any rankings?

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.
