FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted March 12, 2021 We had a wrestler exposed to covid at Middle School Regionals. This wrestler tested positive that Sunday and we immediately went into quarantine while trying to contact JCPS about the situation. JCPS would not inform us of the protocol but we chose to quarantine anyway. We never held a practice with said wrestler. A parent from another school was somehow informed about our situation and called JCPS on Wednesday demanding we get taken out of the tournament. We were then informed that per JCPS policy we couldn’t compete until Sunday March 14th. We tried to move the regional tournament to Sunday but KHSAA wouldn’t allow it, we tried to appeal the JCPS decision and they said no Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best wishes to everyone this weekend. In addition to that, according to Metro Health Department, the wrestler who tested positive is no longer in quarantine. Michael Barren, from KHSAA, hung up on me and would not tell me why if all coaches were willing to wrestle on Sunday that KHSAA would still not allow that.

The KHSAA is just showing their true colors now. Not going to be too many friends for them in the wrestling community. Such a terrible organization. No one will change my opinion of those buffoons in the KHSAA. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted March 13, 2021 Region 8 still does not have their brackets out. Surely they started today since they have a couple of brackets over 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted March 15, 2021 To allow the wrestlers as close to a real post season as possible. However looks like region 4 was the only one who didn't wrestle for 5th. Not sure why they had plenty of time to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s probably just to soften everyone up for what comes the next week. I’m guessing 2 sessions $20-$25 entry per session. Clear out the gym and have everyone return for medal matches (session 2).
