Now that they have pushed back high school state will we be postponing youth state?

Upon conversations with the Horse Park, it is deemed best by both parties to have the event as originally scheduled. Should a team have participate changes due to weather, please contact Matt Lee directly ASAP to make those changes.

Thanks Plantmanky1, as soon as i posted I checked the high school side and saw you were updating the info.
How can anyone say that the safety of our wrestlers is the most important when the youth tournament is going as scheduled. Is there safety not important. This appears to be a political issue and not a safety issue.

Some of The High School teams were set to travel tomorrow. The youth teams will not have to travel till Saturday. This will give the state plenty of time to make sure everyone will have safe travels. Safety is MOST IMPORTANT!
Good Luck to everyone this weekend!!!!
I'm in total disagreement of having the youth tournament if it is unsafe to have high school tournament!!

Sunday is more than enough time to be safe....Lets Wrestle!!!
JDamron,
I understand your position, but do you think we would consider moving forward with the tournament if we felt like it would be "unsafe"? The reality is, the KHSAA decision was entirely different than ours. If they had a 1 day tournament on Sunday, I suspect they would certainly have it.
With that stated, safe travels to all the families making the trip on Saturday/Sunday. It is shaping up to be an outstanding tournament.
Well, the landscape here in Eastern Kentucky is much different from that in Central/Northern Kentucky. We have kids who have worked hard all year who cannot get out of their driveways. To say travel for them would be unsafe would be an understatement, not only would travel be unsafe,but in many cases,impossible. We have only been able to practice one day this week. Even our schools are in hills here in Eastern Kentucky. We will have wrestlers make the trip but we will have many miss out.
I know this is just a bad situation all around just hate done of my kids will be missing out. Some of these kids live in hollows (hollers) where this snow will be around long after everyone else is traveling freely.
I tell you what, I'll be there Sunday and I'll have some of my parents send a real time photo of their driveway so you can see what I'm talking about.

im in south eastern Ky and we will be good to go Sunday.
Run your kids through those snowy mountains like Rocky in Rocky IV. If you leave now, you should make it by Sunday.

Thats one day more of practice than our youth team this week, and were in NKY, just saying.
Shovel some driveways! Heck, I'm wore out! Its a good workout. Should be shoveled out by Saturday. lol
I'm in southeast Kentucky and my boys will be there. They been practicing with the abominable snowman.

Real classy. This isn't a matter of shoveling a driveway. I will be there and I understand it would be hard to reschedule this event. Just hate hat kids who have worked so hard won't be able to make it. I'll be there so it doesn't effect me at all, just hate it for some of our kids.

I think 3 kids showed up out of 25. Lol

If some of my kids are stuck, I will make sure they get out and attend! Lead from the front!!

I tell you what, you can come help me out since your truck will go places other trucks won't!! I live in town so it's not a big issue for me.

That was clearly meant to be a joke....
As I mentioned, it would be a shame for anyone to miss the State Tournament for any reason. It is a great event.
If Balboa can make it up Everest in a two-minute, training montage, I'd like to think our friends from Eastern KY can make it to Lexington in 4 days. Throwing in the towel on Wednesday seems premature, don't you think?

Btw, this ice storm they are predicting for Friday night and into Saturday does have me a little concerned.
It gonna be 45 degrees Saturday and Sunday. It will be fine. Me and my kids are leaving today in 2 hours. See you all Sunday!!!

A few teams are leaving today.....as for us, we are pulling out of the driveway now!!! State Bound!!!!
Driving from far west Kentucky in the morning. Temperature will be above freezing so shouldn't be too bad

I like that its on track wrestling this year. Are the tournaments in Ohio and WV not track tournaments? Was looking at my sons bracket and only 3 had a record on their. My son another kid from his district and one other kid

On the track wrestling note, just an FYI for everyone they will not be live updated (as the MS state was.) We are going to try to update them before finals of each sessions but they may not get completed in time. They will be completed once the wrestling for that bracket is over.
Also note about Awards this year.
Awards will not be in the north hall as they have been in the past. They will be up on the concourse level. Look for the podiums when you come in, kinda hard to miss.
Parents please help us keep the kids off of them when we are not doing awards.
I would love to be heading to Georgetown but I have to work 3rd shift. One more night at the coal mines before I can head that way!!
All rain for the rest of the day and warmer temps. The ones that did not arrive in Lexington yesterday should have no problems getting today.
We just drove around Lexington purchasing supplies for the tournament. Roads aren't terrible now and already improving. I would think they should be fine by this afternoon.
Please drive safe everyone. Look forward to a great tournament tomorrow!
With all the bad weather and not being able to practice will the kids get a pound tomorrow?
We decided with so many days off to go ahead and give 5 pounds (same for the 33 pounders as well as the 200 pounders).
