Wow you are really trying to be abrasive. I am not bragging about anyone. Just trying to understand your point. But you keep just trying to make it into a conflict. Some times the topics become intertwined with high school. By the way you were bragging about your grandson making it to high school semi state on this topic correct? Which you should. It’s something to be proud of too. But should you mention that here or on the high school section by your logic. Lol.

I am missing the point I guess. He won his high school region against kids his age and older. I thought your point was he’s not competing against kids his age. At this rate I don’t think i will ever get it I guess. Some days I’m just too slow to keep up. Good luck to your grandson. What semi state will he be at. 1 or 2

Didn’t say it offended me. Just said it’s something to be proud of. But you seem to be very confrontational. Plus the morris kid also won his region and is going to semi state. I don’t think George can wrestle high school yet. Congrats to your grandson. Is he at 113?

Yeah you are still making it sound like it’s a big deal. Winning a state championship might be a big deal to them. I don’t know. If they want to brag about it they can. It’s something to be proud of.

They won’t be 16 this school year. As long as they are within the guidelines set out by the governing body then what’s the big deal?

Yes. As long as they turn 15 after the cut off. Which is In September I believe.

They are 14 now I believe. I think they were 13 when they won. Still a huge accomplishment to win a high school state title eapeciallly when you think about some of the kids that came through the state over the years.

Your top 105 and 113 middle school kids are almost always high school state placers. This year the middle school is just after high school. Also we had our first 7th grader win high school last year. Usually isn’t an issue because middle schools is before high school. For most of the kids that will place in high school and go back to wrestle middle school it’s so they can try to win a team title.

Agreed. Coach teeter said they call it semis state and consider it state due to khsaa wanting to increase numbers at the state tournament. Which makes no sense to me. No one considers semi state the same as state. I’m wonder if it changes where the money goes. If the khsaa considers semi state the same tournament state does it mean they get the gate money? Does it change the profit?

Yes. Losing kids to soccer and baseball. Not good to grow wrestling.

Since we decreased the size of state by adding a semi state does anyone know why we didn’t go back to the previous format before they did away with district. that would have changed the region to a district. Top 4 come out. Then the region would be 2 districts combined. Top 4 come out again. This would give a 16 man bracket at state without as many rematches. You would still have some cases where the top kids would be in the same district and region but not as much as now. example. Region 1 and 2 would now be district 1 and 2. Then the region would be made up of district 1 and 2. This is how it was done when state was in Frankfort. Scoring doesn’t start till state. Not as many rematches in the finals.

Technicality. If you make it to semi state you made it to semi state not state. Kids aren’t dumb. They can see there is a difference.

Yes except last year was top two instead of top 4. I don’t think anyone would of had a problem with top 4 instead of 2.

Weird post for a wrestling page. A kid is cutting weight to get away from a kid who cut weight and will now have to wrestle other kids that cut weight. lol To be competitive most kids have to cut some weight. Every year you see kids that should have cut some weight and kid that cut too much weight. Fine line.

Will it be the USA wrestling weight classes for the 14 u as well. Last year they used Ky middle school weights for that age group. Year before that they called it middle school youth division instead of 14 u and went with middle school weights.

Any word on a flyer for youth state? Anyone have the age groups and weight classes?

165 got interesting. Strayer beat Phillips and Phillips beat McCourt.

And I need to clarify. Fayette county don’t want to. I’m sure Bryan station wanted to be here.

Called that last night about Bryan Station. Lexington Area just doesn’t seem to want to wrestle. Hate that. They had some good kids.

Big school should be JC and Ryle in the finals. The biggest match before the finals is Great Crossing vs Trinity. On paper it is going to be a close one. Winner should wrestle JC. Small school don’t see to have the dramatic match ups. Union wins.

He was talking about region. Belfry is hosting one of the regional tournaments for middle school.

Is he going to stay at 113?

Ok I’m not following. We don’t have our middle school wrestling sundays now. They wrestle on saturdays. Some times our kids will do youth opens on Sundays. If the seasons didn’t over lap then they would cut into baseball and football season. Which almost all of our kids play 2-3 sports. So that would really cut down the numbers in state.

Here is someone a start. I am sure it’s not accurate and there are some head to head match ups I didn’t see. One thing is for sure. 105 and 113 gets deep. 70 Carson Matney Uriah Rainy 75 Cody Blevins Joseph Carr Blake Lemaster 80 Marita Kinley Max Nance Jaxson Mayberry 86 Madden Brown Zack Scott Brycen Gray Brennen East 92 Kayson White Corbin Nance Luke Cornwell 98 Brayden Blevins Cooper Scott 105 Jayden Raney Ryan Smith Micah Thompson Kentrell Mayfield Colton Motta 113 Jordyn Raney George Dennis Luke Thomas Jayven Williams Charles Young Kaygen Roberts 120 James Morris Utah Heady Carson Herbst 130 Andrew Tarango Deameion Leavelle Gage Clevidence 140 Gavin Becker Abe Fletcher 152 Owen Lamar Isaiah Harris Jaden Justice 170 Dalton Matney Dj Wilson Jax Crowe Mac Darland 190 Nick Baldwin Hvy Colton lewis Peyton Mayo Drew Ferguson Austin Cummings

Has he beat anyone ranked above him? Or does he have any common opponents?
