Middle School State 2016 Potential Match Ups?

He said Key matches that people are excited to watch...... not many people want to see Cole beat on Darren again
I am a little biased towards the 92 bracket, but I think you have a really solid group that will be battling. Conrad/Cummings (have split their two very close matches this year), Blue/Deckard may have a rematch from last season's state consolation final at 86. Deckard is a beast, so it will be interesting to see if anyone will step up and take him down...otherwise it will be seeing who gets the scraps for 2nd and 3rd.
...and I agree that 98 is really tough. Adams, Lenhart, Pledger, Lee, Powell, Cowan and others are all contenders for first in that bracket.
I'm excited to see all of our young men and women wrestle, they all have been working so hard as wrestlers that showing up, putting on that singlet, and going out there and getting after it on Saturday and Sunday is the reward that us as coaches get to see and be proud of. It's truly a pleasure just to watch as they compete. It's an honor to say you helped them get there.

Dutch, I thought a Mason Smith vs Cole Thomas would be a better match!

The ankle bite/knee attack and I think Cole can get the first takedown against Mason 
So many great kids in each class. I'm partial to the lightweights of course. 70 with Moore, Herron, Sander, Bean, Giampalo and Ross. 75 With Peace, Thomas, Herron, Powell and Miracle. 80's top 4 are hammers Kinley, Grandstaff, Walls and Hansen are all really balanced. Same with 86 with Jacob Grandstaff and Thomas Deck leading the way. And how about a huge shout out to Ashley Courtney from Woodford!! She's a solid wrestler battling in to the state Championships. Hard to call the champions with so many good kids! Best of luck to all these wrestlers this weekend!

Mason wouldn't stand a chance. Cole has the size advantage. Only hope would be Cole would hit Mason with a illegal slam and he could play possum. That is our only hope.

Can't a kid change his mind? Been looking into some stuff and appreytly jack had been holding back about to unleash the beast.
Have there ever been a pair of brothers in the state finals before yesterday? The Adams boys wrestled each other in districts, regional, and state finals this year at 98lbs.

Hey All American!! I think this would be a great place for you to congratulate Noah Duke on his State Title since you called out 3 different kids beating him. This was a great weight class, but you were the only one to to call out Duke and list a series of "upsets". I think he covered your spread!!

I will be the first to congratulate Noah Duke and all the wrestlers. I had made a comment on the 10% rule that some complain about. It was only to say a little weight doesn't matter and that my son chose to drop to 130 for hopefully a chance to avenge a loss to Micah Erwin in a weight class that you could see still had all of the top ranked kids still in it. 140 obviously still had Lawrence and Bodenbender but everyone else in between that were mentioned earlier in the rankings went to different weight classes or were not there at all. 150 also had some studs along with all the other weight classes. For my son 130 seemed to be the potentially toughest class top to bottom not at all saying the top wrestlers at 140 &150 were not spectacular. I wish for my son to always learn from a win or a loss.
Zeke Escalara and Micah 'Ervin' decided to stick to high school it looked like. Would've been high placers, most likely state champs, at middle school state if they competed. But would like to say congrats to all the wrestlers who placed at middle school state this year and all the others who qualified to compete real hard! They are the future of KY wrestling!
