2017 Bluegrass State Games will be July 29th at Louisville Male HS.
We Have made the move to Louisville to try to help build numbers . We hope the move will draw more from the large number of teams in the area.
If you have any suggestions on improving the tournament, we are open to suggestions. I'm looking at possibly have team trophies for teams that compete, girls division, and possibly using trackwrestling. More info will be coming soon

Yes, ment to earlier and slipped my mind. I'll post in morning.
I don't want to ask a stupid question, but what exactly is the Bluegrass State Games? Will it be freestyle, Greco, and folk style? If so how many wrestlers has it averaged in the past? Thanks, any information is helpful.

Bgsg is a state wide series of sporting events ran by the Bluegrass Sports Commission. It has been around I think around 30 years and wrestling is one of the events. It will be folk style event for all ages. We usually have around 120-130 wrestlers, but hoping the move to Louisville this year will draw a bigger group
Have you decided to use trackwrestling for this event? How much per team? Individual? When are the deadlines?
Thanks

Almost 1am and I've finished pools. Please remember tomorrow that myself and Coach McCoy of Male did what we thought was best to make pools. We tried to get kids matched up with similar wrestlers and tried to get everyone as many matches as possible.
Looking forward to a great tournament tomorrow. We are in the small gym at Male. We apologize in advance for our small space, but on short timing we found out the big gym did not have air conditioning. Once again, please have understanding.
Thank you and look forward to a great day
I saved all results and will post mon/tues...need a day to rest, lol.
Thx to everyone for coming out and to the Male coaching staff and Parents.
