pioneer_pride 1 Report post Posted January 19, 2008 look at last year's results, and look at who they have returning. factor in that their team is well coached, and they have worked very hard in the off season. they are definitely deserving of a #1 ranking. having said that, they are beatable and teams like Trinity, Ryle, Wayne, & Campbell are not going to hand them anything.

wrestle_grrl 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2008 No, they really are that good. I am not surprised by where they are, and I don't think trinity, waybe, ryle will hand it to them, but they will win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pridewrestler 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2008 I think that woodford is down, larue is rebuilding, and a small school like union is dominating. I dont think their overrated, they work hard to be where they're at. Possibly the best coaching staff (as a whole) in the state, I think at Mater Dei I saw 9 people with Coaches shirts.

Flyboy 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2008 I will say Union is deserving of #1 also. The are doing really well and only getting better. I don't think that anybody except for Wayne Co. can stop them they have came the closest. On the other hand I have said it time and time again in between there awesome coaching and the fact that they are constantly wrestling out of state and getting better might have something to do with it.I will thought tell you who is over rated, not Union Co. but Ryle.

Charger Coach 14 Report post Posted January 19, 2008 By Kentucky wrestling high school standards they are. Don't get me wrong, they are very deserving of their success and it will be hard for anyone to deny them their 2nd straight state title. They are very talented. They do very well against out-of-state competition so I think that helps to solidify them as a very legitimate team. As for my earlier comment, let's say if Union were to compete against the best teams in Indiana like Mater Dei, Lawrence North, Pike, Mishawaka, Griffith, etc. I don't think they would win, but they wouldn't exactly embarrass themselves either. They would hold their own & that would be hard for a lot of Kentucky teams to say. However, in Kentucky which is all that matters for the state tournament, they are the best team this year, they should win the state duals & are definitely the favorites to repeat the 3rd weekend in February.

ptwrestling1 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 Union is amazing. They are on a whole other level than any team in Kentucky. The only teams with a shot at beating them would be Ryle and Campbell County. Union is GOOD everywhere. Their only soft spot if heavyweight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voltage 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Union County has a GREAT team. I saw them at John Hardin. They beat Larue (score ?), and John Hardin (score ?). And there is no way that Meade county can win againest Union County. They will be lucky to even win a match. I'm not trying to knock Meade, Union is just the best team in the state right now. There are alot of schools that will give them a run. We will find out if anyone can beat them this coming weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 I believe if you go back and read the Meade wrestlers comment it actually says he thinks the Union heavy weight is a little down but thinks the team as a whole is in his actual words " great ". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
