Bluesdad 73 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Coaches The region 4 wrestling tournament has been moved once again to Sunday, Jan 31st, weigh ins starting at 10:00. The reason for the change is I have just herd from the officials and all three have prior engagement with either state duels or other tournaments going on across the area. I apologize but just like the snow this too is out of our control. Jesse Ray Peck Johnson Central High School Special Education Teacher ASST.

Bearcat 26 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Since the Middle School state duals have been cancelled, shouldn't there be other officials available on Saturday? Did the assigner say no others were available or are you just going by the officials that were originally scheduled? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
possumdaddy 23 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 That's going to affect a lot of the kids that are supposed to be wrestling in the youth regionals in Anderson county on Sunday. This is a horrible idea and should be worked on to get back on for Saturday 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
possumdaddy 23 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 I was thinking the same thing as bearcat, since there will be others available 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Haddix 6 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 If Johnson can't host on Saturday, we need to consider changing venues. Sunday isn't a viable option. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jnv858 40 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 And now you affect youth regionals that have all been rescheduled to that Sunday and numerous Middle Schoolers that need to attend and weigh-in in order to attend Youth State. I find it hard to believe there are absolutely no referees available to officiate on Saturday. Your decision here has negative secondary and tertiary order effects. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LexisMimi 4 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 This is really going to be unfair to a lot of kids. My daughter is a single mother and with this change, she will have one child in Paintsville, and the other in Lawrenceburg. Could someone please explain to me how this is going to work? I'm sure she isn't the only parent that will have a problem with this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexi's mom 16 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 This is really unfair to the kids & parents . My daughter wrestles for middle school & both my kids wrestle for youth . There's no possible way , with me being a single parent that I can have 1 child in Johnson County & the other child in Anderson County . There has got to be another solution . 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
possumdaddy 23 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Is another venue possible? Anderson, maybe or Montgomery County possibly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jnv858 40 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 so what do you guys plan on doing with your Youth Regional tournament?? Did you guys actually conduct this yesterday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dustoff 9 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Keep it on Sunday. This allows some of the top wrestlers in our region to compete and represent Region 4 at state. Otherwise they will go to high school duals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nike Man 292 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Once again, I will remind parents just like I did with the snow, that change can be made, you just have to network. Having this tournament on Sunday is unacceptable. Honestly the NKY region should have been postponed until this weekend as well, but you can't undo the past. Back to the subject. Hosting this tournament on Sunday is not in the best interest of KENTUCKY WRESTLING as a whole. It is in the best interest of teams like the one that Dustoff represents. Dustoff's argument solidifies the exact reason why I believe that a kid no matter what age or grade needs to designate whether he/she is youth, middle, or high school, and not be eligible to wrestle all over the place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most schools that qualified are choosing not to go because it is held in Union Co. High school state duals are not being held in Union County. Big school is at Ryle and small school at Lindsey Wilson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dustoff 9 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 We probably won't have school all this week. Will take until Sunday to clear. Plus refs are not going to drive from Lexington area to Paintsville to work. Let's not forget that is the real reason. If the original host school didn't back out then we wouldn't have this problem.

I'm sure that Anderson, Woodford, Elkhorn, or someone would be more than willing to step up and take the reigns here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nolans Dad 36 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Same Day? The good middle school wrestlers are fine..The kids who won't make state and would benefit from youth state, now they won't have that option...Anyway to move the Youth Regionals to Saturday? Or something? Also parents will have to pick which kid to watch wrestle? Their middle school kid or youth? Either way there's gotta be a way to make this work out hopefully... Not sure who to ask? Or who could approve youth regional to Saturday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Duke 284 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 It's not that big of a deal. They need to offer satellite weigh ins this year. If they do that you can weigh in pay your money and not show up. Youth regionals does 2 things. Makes money for a team and gives everyone a count for state. It's not a qualifier!!! Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
