Congratulations to two time state champions: Mitch Ervin of Union County, Bryan Peace of Ryle, Mason Reid of Ryle, Matt Zarth of Henry Clay and Three Time State Champion and Most Outstanding Wrestler of this years state tournament, Harrison Courtney of Woodford County. These wrestlers have gone above and beyond to achieve greatness and their accomplishments have been recognized.

Matt Zarth hopes to become Lexington's first three time state champion in 2009 and Harrison Courtney hopes to be the first four time state champion since Isaac Knable in 2002!

Other wrestlers who joined ranks as state champions include Jarvis Elam, Corey Spencer, Shane Parks, Josh Johnson, Justin Davis, Dakoda Choate, Mark Jones, Matt Green, and Anthony Bailey. Spencer (Johnson Central) and Green (Lafayette) represent the first state champions from their respective schools in 16 years (1992). Both schools now have 2 state champions. Josh Johnson (John Hardin) represents the first state champion in his school's wrestling history. Anthony Bailey is the second state champion from his school (Fort Knox) when in 1991 Heavyweight two-timer Danny Davis won. Congrats to these wrestlers for their accomplishments at the 2008 state tournament!

Due to the unexpected turnout of nearly 600 kids we've made the decision to split the tournament into 2 sessions. This will keep kids from sitting at the mats waiting to wrestle for 5 or 6 hours.

Ages 5-6 and 7-8 from 10-1
Ages 9-10 and 11-12 will start at 1:30

Scales will be open to check your weight at the High School after 6:00 pm on Friday night.
