He probably gets no love because his one loss was to Stargill by major (12-0) and Stargill was pinned by Kellet of Christian County. He has an impressive 26-1 record with 14 forfeits.

It’s been fixed, thanks! He wasn’t even on the list earlier, which is why I even said anything to begin with.

I did go back and watch the video on Warren Central's youtube. Final score was 6-2. 

I was looking for the video and couldn't find it.

I feel so bad for some of these kids that won't get a chance to compete at state. Some highly ranked kids won't make the cut. Some kids seeded or 5th or 6th in this region could get in the other ones.

The KHSAA should really take a look at taking the top 4 from each substate.

Last I heard capacity % had opened up to allow more people in attendance. I know this won't happen but it absolutely should and wouldn't require much work at all. I think we as the wrestling community would agree that given the situation taking the top 4 is the right and best option. I'd say most teams, coaches, and parents would support this.

In this substate alone at 138 you will have the top 3 kids banging for only 2 spots.

If the above rankings hold true R2 would take 25% of spots into the state finals. With 4 entrants from the substate that number increases to 38%. Not bad considering the hammers coming from R1.

Why can't this get traction?

Their deal is that they say the  top 4 ARE making state. What we are calling semistate is what they are calling state first round. They just don't see it like we do.

I 100% agree they don't see it like we do. 

I've coached in this state for 12 years. Every year it has been a 32 person bracket. 

If semistate is what they are calling the first round.... then there should be 16 kids advancing to the second round in the championship side.

Reseed the tournament after semistate and run a 16 man double elimination tournament. Eliminate the 5 match rule for 1 day. 

We all know this is a challenging season, however there is an opportunity to compromise here and have a championship that most of the coaches, parents, and athletes would stand behind.

Taking 16 to the "finals" eliminates the first round championship and first round wrestlebacks. 

Do right by the sport of wrestling and that amount of goodwill will carry the KHSAA miles down the road in future championships, because the way it stands right now, most of us are swallowing a very very bitter pill handed down to us by the Association.

They also can’t seem to count.

State is double elimination, but won’t wrestle for true second (which addresses the double elimination aspect). Some kids will end their season on a winning streak with only 1 loss by placing 3rd at semi state, while others will go 0-4 and end with a state medal. The value placed on this post season has plummeted, unfortunately. Some state finals matches will work themselves out and will be exciting (as a fan, I want to see Moore vs Eckman). Other contenders will get eliminated before the 3rd week of post season.

If they both get there they should be seeded 1 & 2 so in this format they won’t meet in the quarters.

This is being considered a pilot season as well.   With hopes to make the semi state setup a permanent change if things work well.

When we have kids ranked in the top 4 with 32-3 records sitting at home while 15-15 kid gets pinned 3 straight times just to raise an 8th place trophy at state, then maybe they will see this didn’t work.
