gameface 253 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 Cole Thomas 80lb. said he'd be interested in going and whichever team he ends up on I'd be glad to Coach. I've heard some may be going to Virginia Beach. It would be great for the ones not available to also post on here so we can gauge the interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jnv858 40 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 Has anybody offered up a 92 pounder... I could possibly be interested in throwing my youngest, Joshua Strayer,(5th grade) in the mix if you all need one. He took 2nd at District, 3rd at Region and went 1-2 at Middle School State. This was his first year competing at the MS level. Jonathan Strayer 502-500-4907 jnv858@gmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesdad 73 Report post Posted February 25, 2017 What dates are the tournaments scheduled for? If Blue is released in time to get back in shape and get some mat rust off him he'd be interested in wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mbrown 21 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 Is there a way to tie this to middle school state? Just offer it up at state, number 1 gets first choice, number 2 second choice etc. Or ask kids to be on the team, that may spark more interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then interested placers wrestled off to fill the remaining spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Duke 284 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 Parents are looking for some answers. Below are a few questions that I've been asked. We are interested in wrestling with the Middle school team Kentucky. Would you have any information on when (day of the week) and where they would hold practices/tryouts? With baseball in full swing at that time we just need an idea of how many missed games and practices he would have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gameface 253 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 Coach Carr is trying to find out who is interested in competing with Team Kentucky. F their is not enough response to this thread, there's a good chance we won't have one team. Coach Carr, can you provide the cost that families encured last year. Maybe this will help shed some light on cost and what they can expect. Thanks for your help Coach Carr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoachC 115 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 As soon as we have a coach for the Blue Team, the coaches will be able to answer all of those questions. I'm simply trying to get something put together for those interested. As of right now, we can't field a full team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Costs were roughly this-- $250 for gear (singlets and other apparel) $150-$200 for hotel (Hotel's were roughly $75-$100 a night I think) Obviously you'd be on your own for food. So overall, it's about $500-$700 to participate, or at least that's what it was in 2014 and 2015 when I went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's always been tough filling spots, especially upper weights, and often I've seen kids get an opportunity to wrestle with Team KY that weren't state placers.....they just showed up to every practice and at the very least they got to be an alternate. It really is a great experience, and I wish more kids/parents would take advantage of the opportunity. I'm not sure what the answer is. I always encourage kids on my team to at the very least give it a shot...worst case scenario, there isn't a spot, but you get an extra month of training with great wrestlers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel free to email me at tlc.darrenthomas@gmail.com with any questions. It would be a shame to not be able to take a team,or a full team, with all the talent Kentucky has.
