Thomas Nelson is still looking for a couple teams to fill a 6 way dual for November 26. Contact Coach Josh Burton josh.burton@nelson.kyschools.us if you are interested.

I've got a home mat from them. It's decent.

Someone is going out of their way to put on an even to showcase out sport and people want to complain its during football season? Who cares if it's during football season? It's a preseason wrestling event. It's wrestling preseason right now. If you don't think it's right, then shut up and put on your own event some other time. Every sport goes all year in some capacity, so why does wrestling have to worry about stepping on anyone's toes. This event says growth to me...putting it on in the spring so we don't interfere with anyone else says to me that wrestling isn't important.

I know it's the summer and more officials will renew their licenses as we get closer to the season, but right now there are only 16 licensed officials in Kentucky. We had less than 90 officials state wide last season, and I know of some that aren't coming back this season. This should demonstrate just how precarious our situation is with officials, especially experienced officials. We, as a community, need to actively do all we can to ensure that we keep the officials that we do have and convince people to become officials.
