Who wins this region, Lafayette or Henry Clay?  Will Wayne be in the mix?

HC top wrestlers Hernandez *2, Tuduri, Whalen, Moore. They should do well for sure. There are four others that could wrestle well. On paper HC has the strongest team. However, this is where everyone brings their A game.

I think HC, WC, and LAF will all be real close heading into the finals. On paper, I give Wayne a slight edge.

1. Henry Clay

2. Wayne Co.

3. Lafayette

4. Madison Central

5. Tates Creek

6. Madison Southern

7. Boyle Co.

8. Danville

9. Whitley Co.

10. Bryan Station

11. PLD

12. McCreary Central

5-10 is really close it just depends on who comes to wrestle. McCreary Central only has six wrestlers that puts them at a disadvantage.

I really feel as if Henry Clay dominates.

I have not seen Wayne this year. Some of their guys have really good records. Should be interesting.

I like seeing the rural county schools do well. I think it is so much harder for them to put a complete team together.

I think there is two groups Wayne, HC & Laf. Group two teams are mad central, Tates Creek, Bryan Station, Danville, Boyle and mad southern have the guns to finish 4 if they wrestle.

I disagree with the county schools. Most of those teams have middle school programs, where Lexington schools don't get the support from there school system.

But kids live so far away from that school at it is sometimes difficult for families to get their kids to and from practices, and there are no schools and gyms to go to for higher level instruction like a Carr Gym or Gyms in Louisville and greater Cincinnati area. Plus you have to travel so far just to get a match. Not too many good matches during the week, just weekend tourney's.

I agree the middle school feeders may help, but larger cities have a lot better club wrestling and off season wrestling opportunities.

Most kids can't afford the Carr academy, but coming from a county system and now seeing the city system, I think it favors the counties. My sophomore year, the closest teams were over an hour away. I do understand it's tough for both sides.

Will this be on trac?

Yes. All regionals will be ran on track. Just type region 7 in the search box

Cool thanks
