Mpire 76 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Seriously ,Team Kentucky = the wrestling dual team is a wrestling team that tries to put together a good team to represent the state in a national wrestling Dual tournament everyone picked ibviously has passing grades , why the drama and no I'm Not concerned about grades because my son has very very good ones But its a sport that athletes have to be passing in school to compete in what kind of people would put grade restrictions or take a spot from a kid with lower grades who's only joy in life may be wrestling , and perhaps someone may be training extra hard and slacked of on his work a bit but is still Passing so someone now comes up with the idea of giving his spot to someone who may not be training as hard but has a better grade , seriously that's demented Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbfraz 8 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 I think what they are saying is to have an academic all state team. This team wouldn't actually compete as the state national team. It would just be an honor they received similar to an academic all American in college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildblueeyes 6 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Goo maybe the KWCA could pick up on that, great idea! Hopefully someone will see this and run with it. Mprie, I know what Team Ky is, my son was on there last year as a middle schooler. I didn't know if gpa's were involved on the hs level beacuse of the name of the tournament "scholastic" dual.

Mpire 76 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 I didn't think or wouldn't no k they would let a jr high kid on a national team at least not the 1st team other sates do not so in keeping with national rules I wouldn't think it was allowed but its good for ky , and passing grades would be apart of being on the team because they are picked by the state placers not picking an argument scholastic awards are great and a goal worthy of great wrestlers and students , my sons always got their academic awards in jr high at oac state , now I could care less I just want tem to destroy everyone , I don't care if they throw some ds on it lol , ATM has pretty much straight AA just kidding and Sam has one problem class ap calculus I don't even know what it is hahahahah, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
