eaglewrestler12 2 Report post Posted October 7, 2009 Raider RumbleDragonWCIJefferson Co TOC5 StarI would agree with this list completely. Haven't attended the Raider Rumble, but from what I've seen they draw in some very solid out of state competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MatMama 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 what about past years of the big east, i heard they use to be pretty stout in competitionThe Big East did have some excellent competition in the past -- Trinity, St. X, S. Oldham, Union County, Christian County, a school or two from TN. It's generally been a well-attended and very well-run tourny. However, Eastern is giving it up, at least for this season. Instead Eastern will host Region 5 Duals that Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger123 43 Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Teams attending Raider Rumble this year: Grundy, South Dearborn, Trinity, Campbell County, Ryle, Union County, Larue County, John Hardin, Woodford County, South Oldham. That's like 8 of the top 12 teams in the state, plus 2 of the top teams recently in this event. Then look at the weight classes (based on my most up to date rankings, which I haven't published yet):103 - #2 Yenter, #9 Long, #13 Rearic, #14 Hines112 - #1 Fahy, #2 Paden, #3 Ruschell, #11 Edens119 - #1 Bradbury, #3 Lacy, #7 Bisenius, #9 Bracco, #10 Orsello, #11 Thomas, #14 Canter125 - #1 Osborne, #5 Logsdon, #6 Bryant, #7 Hitchings130 - #1 Palmer, #2 Cox, #3 Hale, #6 McCall, #8 Holtsclaw135 - #1 Ervin, #2 Krauziewicz, #5 Goodwine, #6 Whitehouse, #9 Lonkard, #14 Hamons140 - #1 Thomas, #3 Murphy, #9 Roland, #10 Bates, #13 Spahr, #14 Floyd145 - #1 Shotwell, #2 Ohlmann, #3 Johnson, #7 Bolog, #10 Jones, #12 Hull, #14 Whalen152 - #6 McCauley, #7 Proctor, #10 Brewer, #11 White, #15 Duzyk160 - #1 Lee, #4 Coyle, #8 Malito, #11 Buckman171 - #1 Hitchings, #4 Warren, #7 Mace, #9 Thompson189 - #2 Ray, #4 Ilg, #6 Dockery, #9 Bohn, #10 Campbell215 - #2 Newberry, #5 Brown, #7 Brown, #15 Pravasic285 - #2 Gentry, #6 Frost, #11 FranckThat includes 17 of the 28 (#1 & #2) and 22 of the 42 (#1, #2, & #3). And that doesn't include any of the studs that Grundy and South Dearborn will bring along.Yes, it is early in the season and a lot of guys will be out of their weight class, but oh well. It still has one of the best collections of talent of any tournament in KY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger123 43 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Follow up: It appears as though Union Co. is going to the Walsh Ironman tournament. Can someone confirm this? While I hate to miss out on Union competing at the Ryle tournament, this could be a great opportunity for Caleb Ervin to show his stuff. The Ironman is no doubt one of the toughest in-season tournaments out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
