bigedcoach 27 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 never been a fan of big school/ small school split, I wonder how is the split going to be done , single A - 3 AAA football schools, then 4 A to 6 A schools I think it will water down what is a true state duals champion, Must be a Jim Matney idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 I think it will water down what is a true state duals champion, Must be a Jim Matney idea I always thought Coach Matney wore that small school thing like a badge of honor. The complaints were loudest from Wayne County and LaRue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 They should give the option for small schools to wrestle in the large school division. I thought the split was at 1000 students. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacketcoach 19 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 All schools are required to stay with thier divisions for the first year. There is a option we talked about for the second year. Remember this is a trial that may or may not work out. We will have to wait and see what happens and how we can make it better. The whole goal is to help promote the sport in our state. The option will be helpful to some and hurt others. We can't make everybody happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savage 5 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 I'm not sure I'm following how qualification will work when each Region would be a mixed bag of both divisions? None of them having the same amount of small or large division schools in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigedcoach 27 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 so if regional alignment stays like it is, and they do big school, small school, are they taking 2 large schools out of each region or 1 large and one small, that would be interesting region 4 would be fun if they only took one and one imagine this only the winner of say STX vs Trinity would go and then Central would go, only small school in region 4 region 3 would be large school would be the winner between Southern, Meade , Fairdale , Western small school would be thw winner of Desales and Holy Cross region 5 there is no small schools , North Oldham would be the closest school that could qualify Kudos to the coaches association for trying to promote the sport but I think they need to shelf this idea until regional re alginment happens If I had more details I could give more details on the uneven state duals that could happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 1 school per region. Imagine this years state duals without Simon Kenton and St. Xavier. Both 2 from thier region and placing 5th and 6th respectively. Simon gave Union all they could handle, and St. X gave larue all they could handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lpniewski 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 Does anybody know anything about the pool scores? I think we all knew who was going to be in the finals, but I would like to know how the pools went, does anybody have anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dscicle 6 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 I always thought Coach Matney wore that small school thing like a badge of honor. The complaints were loudest from Wayne County and LaRue. LaRue has NEVER wanted a split. IDK where you heard they have complained, but considering they have finished top 5 all but 1 year (and that year they nearly beat the eventual duals champ in the pool starting 4 8th graders) i'm not sure why they would WANT a split.
