grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 I congratulate those that earned the title, High School All Americans. However; I'm not sure if this denotes the top wrestlers in KY. If I'm correct only those who wrestle in the Senior National tourney can become High School All Americans.Not all high school kids can or do wrestle in this tourney for several reasons. Once again I congratulate those that are All Americans but lets not forget those that are of equal ability and chose not to wrestle in this tourney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grapplehed 8 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 NHSCA tournament didn't start until 1990. Not sure how they decided before then. I think there were only one or two publications that made the call, Wrestling USA and AWN. Not sure about the criteria either.There were some AA's in USAW in FS and GR. I don't think I would count AAU after USAW started either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tekejew 19 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 It would be nice if this tournament was pursued by more Ky. wrestlers. Ky. wrestling doesn't get the credit it deserves, anyone that has wrestled in Ky. and went on to wrestle in another state would agree that people outside of Ky. think Ky. wrestling is weak. The representation by Ky. at the NHSCA tour could be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pioneer_pride 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Dave Barnes was the best wrestler in the state of Kentucky in 1988, hands down, no question about it. Tom Lee & Lawrence Woodford were very good wrestlers but not in the same league as Barnes - in 1988. To have his name missing from 1988 says a lot about the credibility of this list in my opinion. Before people start ripping on me for saying that, remember it's not about your career, it's about your season. Dave had the best season of anyone that year. Some highlights that I can remember:1) won GMVWA, beat an OH D1 runner up in the finals. As I remember, i BELIEVE that was the only kid to score a 2 point move on Dave that whole season (got a reversal in the last minute or something like that)2) Did not give up a takedown, reversal, or backpoints in the state of Kentucky. Only points he gave up were escapes.3) beat the 1st & 3rd place finisher at 140 (Moody & Means) at KOB tourney.4) undefeated state champ at 135, won 14-1 in the finals against a kid with 1 loss on the season5) MOW & Most pins in least amount of time at state tourney...basically hogged all the awards.Not that any of this matters, i'm just bringing up that before 1990 when they started wrestling for it, I'd say the AA's were questionable to say the least. Maybe a little political. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I-pinned-em-all 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 What do you mean it was political? Who was the coach in Kentucky who determined All American? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grapplehed 8 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 i-pinned em,It was political. I can't think of the guy's name but he (Fern Creek) guy was the State editor/rep for KY for wrestlingUSA. After that: Woodford took the spot light when Parks was the rep, They had a team review in one of the issues. I think they were on a long winning streak. then Paden at Larue. I remember Paden asked me at the state tournament who deserved recognition as the state's best. I think this was when the Cooper's of Larue were there, Metzger at HC etc. They all received more press than anyone for that magazine. HS All Americans were determined by your state reps's recommendation before the NHSCA was formed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

01statechamp130 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2009 I saw on one website where in Virginia Beach he placed 7th at 103 but there were only 14 kids in his weight class so with 1 win you are an all american. That cant be the same Senior Nationals that this record is talking about, is it? When I went it was up in Newark Deleware and there were approximmately 64 guys in every weight class.

There were only 14 wrestlers in his weight class because of the low number of 103lb. seniors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mpire 76 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 If he makes 145 like Stephen can and certified for I would like to see it , Sr all Americans are awarded at NHSCA for top eight it has not happened yet ??? Fargo all Americans are awarded in Fargo it too has not happened yet , As for dream team all American or the bigger stuff I hardly think someone with a 20 something and 4 record made the dream team ?????? But there are all kinds of awards organizations and things , I'm sure French has the ability to AA at NHSCA hope he goes and represents Stephen , Paul Hamilton , and French all at 145 That class would be loaded with Ky talent , chances are only 1 walks away an AA .
