Maddox from Hazard

Mercer Co will have a high school team. Any other teams confirmed for next season. Heard rumblings of the following teams but have not heard them confirmed: Russell Co, Bath Co, Laurel Co, & Breathitt

To the seniors graduating this year, do not walk away from this sport. Everyone who has ever wrestled understands it’s one of the best sports ever, and that it’s importance goes beyond what we see on the mat for competitions. Wherever you are, we need you in order to keep this sport alive in our great nation. I call on you to take the initiative to become a wrestling official! Talk to a wrestling official in your local area or contact your local officials association to start the process. Our referee numbers are dwindling. Without young men and women like you stepping up to become referees, we see the end of this sport within a generation https://form.jotform.com/240504711048043

Just so everyone knows what our numbers look like for this upcoming wrestling season. The student athletes need you! Let's ensure they get to have a complete season. 57 Returning Veteran officials 21 First year officials 11 Junior officials Last season we had over 90 officials and still canceled events across the state. Please if you are planning on officiating this season get your license now! On the job training at Great Crossing in Georgetown on 11/18! https://khsaa.arbitersports.com

Still need officials before this season starts. Events will be canceled this season if we don't get more officials

Can also only have 10 matches in a 2 day period

Soccer games are starting to be canceled across the state due to the low number of officials. Lets not let this happen to wrestling. You can register for your liscense at https://khsaa.arbitersports.com From a soccer assignor in Western KY: This is breaking news for many but at the same time not surprising. I am the Assigning Secretary for Region 1&2 for High School Soccer. This week due to the lack of number of officials and lots of games being scheduled, games will be canceled. Monday 3 games for one school have been canceled JVB/VB/VG; Tuesday 4 games at 2 schools JVB/VB & JVG/JVB; and Thursday 3 games at 2 Schools JVG/VG & VG. The demand for referees is high for this area and is both physically and mentally demanding. These kids NEED individuals to volunteer and work these High School games. If you are interested please reach out to me. It’s not too late. Feel free to share

Glad the KWOA could help out. Look forward to seeing him doing great on the world stage
