bulldog-leader 56 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 Who left in the ambulance??? Someone said it was a Holmes kid. Its kinda hard to tell since they only have about 4 on the team anyway.Yes it was Holmes overwieght 112 wrestling 119. (Brandon Wren)He was hurt duing a match, was knocked out. Will spend another nigth at Childrens Hospital in Lou. Hopefully will be able to come home Monday. Has had 2 MRI's on his head and neck. Can't move his neck without help. They think (hope) he just pulled ligaments in his neck, may need surgery on the ligaments though. Will be out for the season. They are still uncertain. Added to this his family had a car accident getting to Lou from Nky Sat. If he spends another night I going down to visit him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davis might turnout to be a good wrestler if he would learn a couple moves and not just rely on his strength and speed....He does need to try and stay away from the face though, that's how he ended up beating the North Hardin kid. He must have poked him in the eye 5 or 6 times while they were neutral.....he has some good potential though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teresa Baker 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Dragonballz, Surely the Doss coach was at the seeding meeting and perhaps he told Nickel why he got the third seed? I don't know why Nickel got the third seed. Maybe it was based on record and common opponents. I don't know. Baker lost by one to Nickel at the KOB, but Baker had beaten Griggs from Union County and Meisner from Southern. Meisner has beaten Nickel. Griggs got the 2 seed. Maybe Griggs from Union County has beaten Nickel and it was one of those situations that each had beaten each other and so they went with their overall records. Don't know for sure, but sounds reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulldog-leader 56 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 I was going to ask this same question today. I saw them leaving right after one of our kids got hurt and was joking it was for him. I hope he is allright and no surgery involved, just maybe sprained. Any idea how it happened? Bad luck or bad move or slam? I went down and visited him today at Children's in Lou. He will need to stay another two days and get more X-rays and MRI's. He is having trouble moving his arms without neck pain. He will need have physical Therapy hopefully starting in 2 days. Not sure if he will get to transfer to either a Nky hospital or Cincy hospital though. His mother is staying with him in Lou. at Children's. He claims that he will be at practice on Monday, truth is he is probably out for the season, 99% certain of this. He came down hard on the mat, wasn't called a slam. Was one of those border line moves. If it was called a slam no one would argue, if not called a slam none will argue. Bottom line is regardless of the call it was an accident and none was trying to hurt anyone. Just one of the risks we take when we wrestle. I have seen the same move hundreds of times with no injury, this time it was just a fluke accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charger Coach 14 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Mrs. Baker, The Doss coaches were not at the seeding meeting b/c they were not invited. Not all coaches were invited, only a select few. This is a topic that we had previously discussed last week. The same thing happened at the JCTC. Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, the criteria they use, as previously stated by thegreatgatsby is 1) winning record, 2) head to head meetings & 3) common opponents. They usually do not have to go much beyond that. Well Derek had a winning record & did beat Matt earlier this year. Regardless of by how much, he did beat him. He never faced Griggs before Saturday. He is ranked higher than both Baker and Griggs in the Ranger Rankings on this site and the KWCA rankings, which are done by Eastern's coach. As for him losing to Travis, yes you are correct but he also beat Travis this year, so that is a push. When the Doss coaches inquired as to why Derek was seeded lower than both Griggs and Baker, the answer they recieved and I quote "we didn't have enough time to look at everything". That also must be why Dakoda Choate was seeded lower than Ty Wolfe. Dakoda had two losses this year and they were both to Wolseifer. In addition, he beat Wolfe on the Wednesday before the Eastern tournament. I'm not complaining about any of this, I'm just stating facts. Regardless, it was all put to rest Saturday when Nickel won. I wish Dakoda would have had the opportunity to face Wolfe. I also wish Dakoda a safe and speedy recovery and hope your son is recovering from his illness. I wish him the best.

pridewrestler 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 The reason Griggs might have got the 2 seed is because he had pinned Shipp from Larue earlier in the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charger Coach 14 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 pridewrestler, I can somewhat see your point. However, if Nickel beat Baker and Baker beat Griggs and Griggs and Nickel had never met before Saturday, I would still think that through process of elimination and a little logic, Nickel gets the 1 seed. Maybe I'm wrong. If you were presented with that information and also knew that Nickel was ranked higher in both Ranger's Rankings and the KWCA rankings (done by Eastern's coach), than either Griggs or Baker, how would you have seeded them? Like I said, I'm not complaining, just wondering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teresa Baker 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Dragonmaster, To be honest, I was surprised when I got to the gym to see that Matt had the #1 seed instead of Nickel. We are not used to North Hardin getting any breaks. You would think it would be an open invite for seeding meeting for all coaches involved in the tourney, that were able to make the trip down the night before. I'm not sure what Nickel's record was, but I guess if they were going with winning records first, Matt's was 32-4 prior to the Big East. You got to beat the best to be the best and Nickel looked great on Saturday. I thought Doss was going to the Trojan Invitational, but i think I am mistaken. Do you know if Doss will be at State Duals? If not, then I guess Nickel and Matt won't meet again until State, if their paths cross. Thanks for your well wishes on Matt's health. He had to leave school early today, is pushing fluids, taking antibiotics, and resting for the big match up against Larue County tomorrow night. Thanks goodness he isn't cutting weight this year. I'm a health care provider, and it always cracks me up when wrestlers refuse IV fluids because of fears of weight gain. It happens more often than you might think.
