[Bearcats Coach 94]

Just like to know Why this Re-alignment is taking place now? This should have been done back in February.

I'd say that most teams already have their schedules set, so now there will be teams having to drop something or not compete in sectionals. 

[coachteater 70]

They were done in our spring meeting on April 24th. I apologize on behalf of the committee that this information had not been posted on here earlier. I will talk with Coach Upchurch about this issue and make sure we get the info out to the section reps asap so that they can let their teams know.

[grappler-of-old 44]

Is there a master schedule for when and where for each of the sectional qualifiers?

[coachteater 70]

No. I know that most will be held Jan 14th. I don't think all have picked spots yet. Tonight we have a section meeting to determine our host school. I'll get with section leaders and try to get a list made as early as I can

[Bearcats Coach 94]

After many text back and forth with our Sectional teams several months ago, we pretty agreed to have us (Walton) host the event on Wed. Jan. 4th.

[naplesme 58]

Sectional 1 Big School: January 14th at Owensboro

Section 1 Small School: January 2nd at Union County.

With the 2 new teams will that still be possible? 

[grappler-of-old 44]

Boy sometimes I think we take one step forward and two steps back.  

I like the idea of re-aligning for new teams and such.  But to make the changes then implement them in the same year is unfair to those that have changed sectionals. 

Most of the sectional tournaments probably already have a date and they may not be the same date as the sectional they are leaving.  Most teams also have their schedules complete and now those teams have to adjust their schedules at the last minute, because if they don't attend they can't compete next year.

But heck who am I?  I am just an old hick who is way past his prime and being led out to pasture.

GOO out.

 

[KYW 1]

Madison Central could pull some upsets because I think the only person they lost was morrow. They will also have both deck brothers.  They look pretty strong

In their section they will most likely be the 1 or 2 seed, and i would see them making state duals. They will definitely make some noise at state duals, they are very strong and worked hard this summer. I think the have a legitimate shot at a region title as well and and could make a run at a top 10 place at state.

[Nike Man 292]

With most of the Sectional Dual Tournaments coming up this weekend, I thought this thread would be fun to bring up again. 

A couple of conversation starters....

Small School favorites-

Union County, Walton Verona, Larue, and Wayne County

Big School favorites-

St. X, Woodford, Johnson Central, Madison Central, and Simon Kenton

Does the big school and small school winners wrestle each other?? 

Ready......set......GO!

 

 

 

[ukpridewrestler11 276]

Going out on a limb here: predict Union and St. X to win. Unions on another level this season and St. X isn't too far behind. Has to drive the large schools crazy when they see such a small school in union year in continue to beat up on them. 

[ukpridewrestler11 276]

On another note, are both state Duals at the same location this season? 

[Nike Man 292]

Predicting the small school isn't going too far out on a limb. The large school is something different all together. I would guess X or WC as the big school winner. The matchups are interesting. If Union was beating St X and or Trinity for football State Championships, I could see where you could make the small school has "beat up" on the big school comment. But we are talking wrestling. Maybe 80-90 teams total across the state. IMO we are not big enough for 2 divisions. Union has figured it out, for now. Their turn will be over and someone else will step up. Just the nature of the beast.

[Nike Man 292]

Yes. They are both at Lindsey Wilson. 

[coachteater 70]

Think uk is right, stx is the favorite in big school. Woodford has been close in some duals, so think they will be fighting it out for second. Big School should be a fog fight with great mstches, this is one of the deepest years I can remember.  Woodford, oldham, simon kenton, Madison central, Johnson central all can make runs. 1 or 2 matches might be the difference in being 2nd or 6th place

[wrestler145 4]

Seeding small school will be an absolute mess.  I see it as:

1. Union
2. Wayne
3. Larue/John Hardin
4. WV
5. Franklin
6. Sheldon Clark

Based off of Sectional winners.  I dont think anyone wants to draw a John Hardin/Larue or Harrison County in small school. 

[Zeus 117]

Are the big and small school champs going to wrestle each other?  I've always thought this was a good idea.

[ukpridewrestler11 276]

It could come down to how teams shift wrestlers around as well. Larue has always been good at that. Glad the Duals are in the same spot. Maybe you will see a face off between divisions. And definitely, union would get blown out of the water in just about every sport when competing against the large schools. It's still a numbers game tho. 

[LCalum 31]

John Hardin vs Larue will be an interesting dual.  If John wins they will probably be the 3rd seed with a win over WV.  If larue wins they should be the 2 seed with a dual win over Wayne this season.  

 

In Big School I think people are sleeping on Oldham County.  They are solid this year. Wouldn't be shocked to see them in finals.
