Weightclass	Favorite	Top Contender	Top Contender	Darkhorse
106/108	Adam Bender-(Lexington Catholic)-unbreakable strength for a 106. If he gets wrist control you are getting tilted and probable teched.	CeJay Vaske(Boone Co.)-yo-yo’d between 106/113. Looks to be a solid play here for the podium.	Joey Delong (Dixie Heights)-wrestled some tough competition. Expected to do well here.	Elijah Thomas(J-Town)-young kid looks to have some success in this tournament.
113/115	Cordell Vaske(Boone Co.)-also spent time at 106 this year. Solid record against tough competition.	Zack Farwick(Covington Catholic)-can he upset region 6 rival Vaske?	Kevin Ensor (Tates Creek)-has a title at Defender of the Staton this year. Can he repeat?	Ezavion Payton (Western Hills)-young grappler looks to score big team points.
120/122	Ben Lundy (South Oldham)-can he claim a title?	Isaiah Newberry(J-Town)-will he be standing in the winners spot on the podium? Time will tell.	Travis Coovert (Boone Co.)-one of many lightweight Boone Co. wrestlers who should do well.	Blake Durham(Iroquois)-hopefully he gets a chance to wrestle outside of Jefferson Co.
126/128	Derrick Soper(Bryan Station)-needs to come on strong here at the end of the year.	Chris Vaske(Boone Co.)-looks tough at this weight. Should qualify for state even in region 6.	Ricky Purvis(Franklin Co.)-good strong wrestler who should do well.	Zach Morgan(Tates Creek)-another Tates Creek champion at Bryan Station. Will need to dig deep to place here.
132/134	Ansar Kurbanov (Iroquois)-should place at state and win this tournament.	Austin Nixon (Dixie Heights)-tough kid. Wrestled well in Ohio/NKY.	Matthew Manns (Franklin Co.)-can he pull off a title in the cross town rivals gym?	George Washington(J-Town)-does he have presidential game to go with a presidential name? Has he healed? Is he ready to go?
138/140	Nathaniel Lawrence (Franklin Co.)-not sure if at middle school regions. I fully expect him to be in a position to win a state title in the future.	Daniel Branch(Covington Catholic)-likely Cov. Catholic’s best wrestler. Would be a major statement if he wins this tournament.	Wesley Whelan (Ashland)-should be a contender to win this tournament.	Brady Gibson(Tates Creek)-can he live up to his ranking this week…Saw some fire against Johnson Central…let’s see.
145/147	Rawleigh Richardson(J-Town)-beat some tough competition at 152 but has struggled at 145	Odeh Eqal (Tates Creek)-ranked kid who seems to have split time at 160/152 before settling at 145.	James Barrie (Dixie Heights)-tough kid. If he could pick up a title here might clinch a team title for Dixie Heights.	Blake Day(Ashland)-another Ashland wrestler who should place.
152/154	Clayton Warren(South Oldham)-hasn’t wrestled since 5-Star. If he’s wrestling this week he’s at #1.	Jacob Weaver (J-Town)-had a nice run at the JCTOC, can he replicate it here?	Elias Eqal (Tates Creek)-highly ranked, has suffered some defeats. Looks to rebound here.	JD Cross (Boone Co.)-recent drop to 152. Will it pay off?
160/162	Matthew Munoz(Dixie Heights)-only ranked 13th in state. In my opinion he will place. Under ranked for sure.	Joey Scribano(Madison Southern)-will provide stiff competition for Munoz.	Devon Comley (West Jessamine)-the best chance the Colts have to place someone at this tournament.	Cubaka Mutayongwa (Tates Creek)-had to go track to spell his name. Kid has game. Watched him for the first time against Johnson Central. Here’s his chance to prove he belongs.
170/172	Aaron Valentine (Franklin Co.)-has improved each year. Should be a placing contender this year at a tough weight.	Max Knabel(South Oldham)-tough schedule should have prepared him for this chance.	Vance Krueger(Ashland)-limited mat time but impressive record when out there.	Sam Kauer (Madison Southern)-if he wants to qualify for state. Must place in this tournament.
182/184	Evan Rademaker(South Oldham)-consistent performer. Deserves this spot.	Jackson Sora (Covington Catholic)-wrestling in region 6 doesn’t allow young wrestlers the chance to grow slowly. It’s sink or swim. This tournament might be the chance he needs to shine.	Evan Hanus (Western Hills)-can the hometown kid get the Wolverines on the podium?	Jay Layne (Ashland)-Haven’t seen any results in a while. What does it mean? Favorite if he’s here. Will he be?
195/197	Grant Krueger(Ashland)-lost a couple to Bernabe over the Christmas Break but that won’t dampen his hopes in a state run.	Roy Bowers (Dixie Heights)-this team does something right when it comes to big guys. Dixie is really tough in the upper weights.	Brad Bailey (South Oldham)-can he match up with Krueger?? Good tournament to see where he stands.	Bilal Mamedov (Iroquois)- is he still wrestling? Contender if he’s there.
220/222	Brandon Reed(Iroquois)-great chance for him to get some matches in prior to the regional tournament and expected run at a state title. Iroquois has produced a few quality big guys over the years one notable was heavyweight James Payne.	Damoreon Travis(J-Town)-young wrestler learning the sport. I expect him to figure it out and place this year at state.	Kairus Washington (Dixie Heights)-not the highest ranked kid here. He’s faced the best competition and I expect it to pay off.	Jose Martinez-Tates Creek. Ranked kid with a chance to prove a lot.
285/287	Ahmad Hameidan (Boone Co.)-very similar to Malala from J-Town, no doubt in my mind he will place this year. How high is the question…	Lawrence Malala(J-Town)- very defensive wrestler at heavy. Expect a low scoring match. Always in a position to win.	Justus Williams (Madison Southern)-best athlete at heavyweight. Looks the part of a dominant wrestler. Expect to place at state in 5-8 range.	Shakien Boyd(Iroquois)-hasn’t wrestled a ton this year. Unfortunate byproduct of the turmoil surrounding the Iroquois.

 

This is a tough tournament to get a read on. There should be 5-6 teams competing for the title at the end. Dixie Heights seems to be the favorite on paper. Boone Co. looks like they will win their fair share of titles. Tates Creek looks to be the deepest all through the lineup but do they have anyone that can step up and win a title?

Team Race

1.       Dixie Heights

2.       Boone Co.

3.       Tates Creek

4.       Jeffersontown

5.       Ashland

6.       South Oldham

7.       Franklin Co.

8.       Iroquois

9.       Madison Southern

10.   Bryan Station

 

No idea if all these kids will show up. This is only for fun. Hopefully this one gets in. Good luck to all. 220 and 285 look to be the deepest weights. I think there will be a lot of fireworks from 132-170 as well.

 

Yes, I probably missed a ton of kids that will place also.

[coachteater 70]

Good day of wrestling. Dixie heights and Covington Holmes i thought looked pretty strong. They both had some good kids.

106- bender got around 45 takedowns today, teched through

113- ensor gives up reversal with 8 secs left

138- diehl in finals from west Jessamine,  hes impressed me for a new program. Not sure what yr he is, but looks like good future.

145- gibson missed weight, so wrestled 45. Meet teamate in finals. Eqal up early and "held on" the last period. 

152- eqal and glover going at it. Close, but eqal lifts and something happened, he basically passed out. 

160- scibano just wins

170- valentine and hille had a great match, tough kids. 

Big match at 195, Vancini looked awesome against Kruegar , whos a stud. 

285- mendes vs wwillians part???? Lol. Williams gets this 1. 2 very good and evenly matched kids. 

 

Those are a few of the things i saw that stood out

Totally screwed that up, long day. Impressive win for Munoz, scribano is a really tough kid.
