One big happy family!  2018 @ State. You know why we are so good. Our kids make each other better, our Coaches coach together, we compete together or against each other but mostly we support each other.

Parents already making enemies with the wrestling community at the elementary level. This could end up being a great rivalry for years to come. Or this could get ugly all thru middle school.Posting pictures rubbing in the win? I know one thing, there a several great Ky programs, who are looking foward to the Juggernauts return. Walton, Ryle, Carr academy, McCracken, Union, Scott, Anderson, Madison Central, River City, Cambell, Johnson central, Woodford, and several others will keep producing studs. Now the Juggernauts will be the team to beat in middle school IF THEY CAN BECOME A CLUB TEAM. If not it will just be that year everyone remembers the trash talk that never got sanctioned as a team. But we can always look back at the pictures posted of this " Team " Either way good luck to everyone involved. Remember its about the kids. When you trash talk for them, they have to back it up, not the parents!

Since track wrestling info has already been brought out let’s throw out another one. Current standings are the Warhawks Wrestling Club is ranked 21st in the Nation. The next closest KY team is River City at 102. Warhawks won region by only a few points to Martin. Martin Cardinals beat the Warhawks in 2018 at State. Point is this....neither team “needed” to combine nor were they “desperate” to do so.  No cheating was done because there was no rule in place  add the rule that’s fine   We will just show up and knock even more off the podium

It's one thing to win and be classy. Its another thing to try and justify the loophole in the system. Talk trash about some of the best programs in the State of Kentucky. In middle school will see who has the last laugh. If I was with Juggernauts I would be more concerned with becoming a sanctioned team. Than bathing in a loophole victory. I'm not bashing the kids. They showed up, with good intentions. This is to the parents keeping this going. Get your team sanctioned as a team. I find it distasteful. You won thru a loophole. From what I heard the team was great. Just do it the right way.

They couldn't have combined every team there except maybe for Maritime and beat the Juggernaut team.  I heard JC didn't have the youth numbers this year or planned on taking a youth team so they used one kid from them.  

Petty man. Your saying Nobody could beat em? Even if everyone pulled together? You are talking trash that the kids will have to back up. You should really stop.

This pic is from 2018. Not sure how this pic is the Juggernauts rubbing things in. This pic is proof these teams and coaches have a close relationship.

We would love to have came to state duals and competed and nothing been said. However, certain teams decided they would not allow that. I felt like we have stayed classy but we grow tired of accusations  that there was some big loophole that we exploited. None of the coaches had ever went to state duals. What we did is seen what was required and met those requirements. There was no big secret meeting of the minds to circumvent holes in the rules, that’s nonsense.

Just stating facts.   Exclude Maritime and I truly believe thats a fact.   They beat oldham county like 74-3.   Fern creek didnt score a point..  oldam county beat Carr...Also as damron stated none of these coaches had ever been to the state dual. Had no idea they're would be all the drama.  We brought a team to compete and we brought our best ....apologize for the racket we caused but look forward to competing soon.   Wish all the teams in ky the best of luck.  I think everyone's tempers (including myself) got raised.  I do know that Juggernaut coaches didnt purposely look for a loophole.  They are a group of friends who made a team to come and compete

Pretty sure the cheat shots were taken out on our kids and coaches before anything from our side was said. People were posting our kids names and stats from region first.  It’s all there.  Actually we submitted our information a week prior to the tournament.  We weren’t hiding anything. I mean no disrespect to anyone especially children. But when grown men try to take away something that was rightfully earned don’t think I’m going to sit there and take it.  Our kids earned it and they should be proud.  We will work just as hard next year and show up according to the rules.  End of story.

My kid wasn’t on the Juggernauts, but he is a Warhawk. Is it a rule that kids cannot compete for two different Sanctioned teams? If this is the case than NO club wrestler would be eligible to wrestle for their Schools youth program. Both the Warhawks & the East Ky Juggernauts are USA Wrestling Chartered Club Teams. We both serve the Youth in Eastern Kentucky—and Eastern KY is obviously underserved in Youth Wrestling because we are 2 of 4 teams that serve Pike, Floyd, Martin, Johnson, Perry, & Lawrence Counties.

Good lord, WHY are you people STILL trying to justify this. The Juggernauts can be a sanctioned club all they want for as long as they want. That’s not the problem. This is clearly an offseason team. That’s fine. In the history of the youth state duals, to my knowledge, it has always been and was designed to be for IN SEASON teams which means that the 3 combined teams for the Juggernauts should have entered on their own and not combined together. The lack of wording on the flyer describing this was used to your advantage. There WILL be a vote at spring meeting and it WILL be changed so that this doesn’t happen again. And, please give us a break with the whole “we’re just trying to grow the sport” crap. How are you growing the sport when you tell little Timmy that’s wrestled 75lbs all season long for Martin Co that he doesn’t get to participate at the youth state duals because you’re taking a combined team of 3 schools and we really want little Johnny from Pike co not you. That’s not growing the sport!!!

Like I said, my kid is NOT a Juggernaut, but he is a Warhawk. If he wanted to be a part of the Juggernaut team he should’ve wrestled harder. There’s no shame and no bad blood. These kids still practice together and see each other every week. They’re all still friends.

Good Lord. Why are people still crying over this? The Juggernauts obviously weren’t concerned about your opinion or they would’ve asked for it. The rules were followed. The state duals were decided on the mats. If there is a vote in the spring, so be it! But don’t cry somebody cheated when they obviously didn’t. They may not have met YOUR rules but it doesn’t seem ANYBODY is concerned with your rules. The Warhawks and the Cardinals have bigger rosters than they’ve ever had so somebody is growing the sport. Maybe you don’t know as much as you think you do. This is really getting old. It’s over with. Pull up your big girl panties and get over it!

Seems to me this all goes back to school teams being held hostage to USA wrestling.  Forcing school teams Middle and Youth to get a USA card when it is not necessary.  Create school teams they will be covered by the schools insurance and go from there.  Then there will be no club teams dominating the younger leagues.

I absolutely agree!! It’s really sad that Youth Wrestling in KY comes down to all of this crying. It will do absolutely nothing but hold our athletes back. Wrestling is dominate in several other states & they openly allow and welcome Club Duel teams (and it shows in their athlete success and rankings).  

 

Ultimately its the kids kids that lose when adults whine and cry because they don’t feel like something is fair.  No athlete is going to get better unless they are encouraged to take chances and wrestle harder competition. I am thankful for the relationship that the Warhawks have with the Cardinals. Our kids are pretty awesome and they work together well. Practice is fun when we have Cardinals show up to drill with us. It helps all of our athletes grow.

Sorry,  l just can’t take it anymore.... Why is this thread still on here ? First things first what you are saying about other States opening allowing “Club”  Dual Teams in competion....     those are open Dual Team Tournaments. Not State Based Dual Team Tournaments.  Trust me we been to Alot of them, On Alot of Different Club Teams. Yes you played by “The Rules” and Won CONGRATS !!!!! Regardless of if you were or were not trying to cheat...Maybe... Maybe Not ?? Honestly I DON’T CARE !! Nor does anyone outside of this thread, but when you go saying you could beat the best teams out there, and the Warhawks are on the Rise... Come on You really think that if Carr, Maritime or Ryle put there best 5th or 6th grade and below teams out there they couldn’t beat you. Oh wait and they can combine with other Neighboring teams, because we’re “ALL FRIENDS” and practice really good together. Look at those team MS Rosters from this year and last... the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from those teams wrestle MS... Look even Closer Most of those kids placed or Won MS State.  Truthfully l don’t have a Dog in the fight my son wrestle MS now and has since 4th grade due to seeking better Comp. but from the outside looking in, if The East Juggs would just stop responding to all this Crap it would all go Away ...   Good Night and Good Luck To All The KIDS !!!!
