Just a note to thank all the coaches who attended our meeting today. Terrific turnout and more important we accomplished a lot for the youth wrestlers of KY. I look forward to working with everybody this season to keep advancing our sport.
We now have three out of the four regions setup to hold our first ever regional tournament. I know Johnson Central will do a great job with state.
Lori Osborne will be posting the minutes.

Reviewed and approved minutes of March meeting.
Reviewed Bylaw 6 I)-due to the fact that the middle school board reviewed the five match rule and decided not to change it, the issue of the bracket size for KY Youth State was addressed. Since it is not optimal for kids to wrestle more than 5 matches in a day or win via forfeit the voting members unanimously voted to keep brackets at size of 8.
Issues:
State Tournament: Johnson Central to host the State Tournament for 2008. Date of March 1, 2008
Each team will weigh-in their own team at their site and rosters with weights to be sent to Johnson Central by Tuesday February 26, 2008. Fax or email submission preferred. Hosting site will do verification weigh-ins. Kids must make weight as submitted or they will scratch
Since our meeting Union County has decided to host the Western Region.
We now have all four regions setup.
The region tournaments ARE NOT state qualifiers. They are simply in place to promote youth wrestling in all parts of the state and give the kids more mat time.
