The 140 lber f Kyler Jones from Newport completely annihilated region 3 bracket injured the number 1 seed (3rd in State) and flat out beat the Number 2 seed (5th in state). he may be the sleeper of the day.

70-Vega over Raney

75-Raney over Tucker

80-Spalding over Sander

86-Moore over Johnson

92-Thomas over Giompalo

98-Herron over Chapman for some reason I usually do not pick Chapman and he makes me pay for it.

105-Walls over Thornton

113-Straus over Beane

121-Messerly over Goss this is a hard one for me. 

130-Fletcher over Phillips

140-Wittry over Hatchett

152-Little over Kidd

168-Giannone over Bikakis

190-Rodriguez over Ervin

240-Wayne over Stevenson

Dark horse 105 Mattingly.  Anyone remember the last time Ryle had a 5th grader at 105?  This kid is going to be special.

Had to make a couple changes. I jumped the gun on a couple weight classes

Normally the OVER ALL favorite does WIN his or her weight class.

There's a reason there the favorite. .. 

But for all the under dogs..  

Get up on that podium. 

#Kentucky #Wrestling. 

Ok here's another prediction

80. Spalding vs Speaker 12 - 5

86. Moore vs Messerly 14 - 4

92. Thomas vs Jude 7 - 4

98. Eckman vs Herron 9 - 8 Over Time

105. Kinley vs Cain 9 - 6

115. Beene vs Straus 5 - 2

121. Goss vs Hall Pin

130. Blue vs Phillips 11 - 3

140. Wittry vs Hatchet 10 - 5

152. Freeman vs Price 4 - 3

168. Giannone vs Virzi Pin

190. Monteleone vs Ervin Pin

240. Brown vs Wayne 6 - 2

#Kentucky #Wrestling. 

Johnson Central has a young Hammer Matney.. Carr has some as well. Ryle and Walton always produces Hammers to. McCracken is on the way up, Scott County is looking good. Woodford and Johnson Central come to wrestle. Campbell and the Bulldogs . Several other solid programs. . KENTUCKY wrestling Future looks bright.  

Hindsight is 20/20.

Wish we would have started wrestling, where we are at now.

I think Walton and Messerly will end up on a Olympic team before it's all said and done.

Shulze might be a sleeper in the 240 pound 

70- Vega over Gardner 6-3

75- Tucker over Raney 5-3 overtime takedown at the edge

80-Sander over Spaulding 6-4

86-Moore over Begley 12-4, puts his dad on his shoulders and carries him off, takes over coaching the rest of the finals

92-Thomas over Giompalo 8-4, thinks about putting his dad on his shoulders and realizes that’s a bad idea, gets a bear hug and a smack on the “Rump”

105- Thorton over Walls 8-7, Spencer gets his first coaching State Champ

113- Roberts over Andreoni 8-3

121-Goss over Messerly 8-5

130- Fletcher over Phillips Pin in 2nd period, walks off of mat to grab a Woodford County hat and announces where he’s going to wrestle for high school.

140-Hatchett over Wittry 6-5.

152-Little over Freeman 8-4.

168- Giannone over Bikakis 10-5, walks off mat and blasts a double on Joe-Joe. Realizes that was a bad idea as well.

190- Long over Rodriguez in an overtime thriller. Holmes celebrates with a dance off on the side of the mat.

240-Wayne over Stevenson pin in 3rd period off a nasty over/under hip throw on the edge of the circle, Jason arguing that he was on his toes and not his knees. 

Hoping these predictions make some people smile and laugh. Truthfully we have some amazing talent and we’re growing each year. These kids deserve and earn everything they get and as coaches we should sit back and look at what we’re accomplishing as a group and continue to keep leading our young men and women in the correct ways. Good luck to all!!!

Keith you are killing me. Spencer has done that before and yes I probably would yell in that situation. Would it be appropriate for me do do the worm into a back spin?

I cant predict some of these weight classes are too close to call. I will however, give you the 2 MOWs.

Lower weights:

Thomas

Upper:

Blue.

MOW is a joke. You must know the right coaches and live in the right demographic area. Wish it would be more lead by accomplishments. 

My opinion.

My opinion. 

Interesting statement. MOW is about individual accomplishments, I have seen kids from #1 seed all the way down to a #10 seed who took 2nd place in overtime earn it. This sounds like either a kid who feels cheated or a parent upset his kid didn't get an MOW.

Not at all. No reason to be reason guys. My opinion. I have seen many wrestlers who showed more personal accomplishments than the actual MOW. You don’t have to agree with me. Accomplishments can be different from one child to another. 1st Place might be an accomplishment for one while even making it into State is for another. MOW is only the opinion of few. It is what it is.
