RYP 13 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Omar Jarvis of Fern Creek has decided not to attend and the 125 lb. spot has been filled by Shawn Hull from Larue County. Welcome to the team, Shawn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ubtappin 1 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 What is the criteria for who gets that spot? McCall finished 3rd at 124. He was 43-2 on the season with his only 2 losses being to Jarvis. He lost a 3-2 decision to Jarvis in the state semifinals. He also faced Hull in one match this season and defeated Hull 5-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RYP 13 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 There is not any "criteria" for how the team is selected. Obviously state champs get first consideration. There are a number of factors which always make it difficult to get the lineup where everyone is satisfied. The MS National Duals tourney weight classes are significantly different then KY's. Kids weights after the season can change dramatically while others don't change at all. This year we have two wrestlers who are jumping up a weight class and wrestlers who won or came in 2nd are dropping down a class to accomodate those two. I know there are deserving wrestlers who are not going to Danville. I wish we had a way to accomodate all wrestlers who wanted to participate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibwrestlin 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Was McCall not even approached about being on the team since he did wrestle at that weight all year and state? And, although Hull is a good wrestler, he did not even wrestle at state since he was over weight for 117. I may be wrong, but if a state champ at a weight class is first in line, then the state second placer would be the next obvious choice. Or even someone who wrestled state at either 117 or 131 before someone who didn't even wrestle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
