JB 5 Report post Posted January 23, 2020 That’s quite a statement. Maybe in freestyle, because anyone can get tech’d in a freestyle match. I don’t see Carr being able to tech Merritt in a folkstyle match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWO!!! 4 Report post Posted January 23, 2020 Carr use to tech/pin Merritt in middle school but Merritt had a HUGH leap when he got to high school (which he continues). I recall both wrestling 132 Merritt sophomore year and wrestling twice. Merritt won both matches (10-5, 3-2). Now I understand it was two year ago and I'm sure both have grown as wrestlers. Saying a tech fall either kids' way, I think is disrespectful to the other kid. We all have our opinions and that's just mine. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HawkeyeX125 27 Report post Posted January 23, 2020 It would be a very good match but I’d say Carr takes it 6-4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about this: this is all just hyperbole, silliness (see the above ridiculous statement above), and does not really matter as neither wrestler will be competing against each other. Now pound for pound both Merritt and Russelburg could be in the discussion, as should Micah Ervin, Thomas Deck, and Spencer Moore. Looking forward to some great matches at Region and State in the coming weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a few KY kids go. They probably invite more kids than they should. If you’re a kid who can win a couple matches at state you’ll be competitive as a freshmen and sophomore. If you’re a junior or senior you should probably be a state placer if you want to be competing at Virginia Beach. Probably about 50 kids or so from Kentucky each year. Maybe more. At least 10 schools represented. Maybe more. There have been several placers in recent years from KY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted February 3, 2020 Going to post rankings after regionals? I know Ethan Wells moved back up to 126, and Parker McKee (McCracken 120) dropped to 113 for regionals. McKee has a win by fall over Riley Johnson (Caldwell) this season. Region 1 brackets aren't released yet to see any other shifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
