I love how Mason Reid is the new Johnny Wolsiefer. :-P. Everybody always talked about how Johnny was untouchable and now the torch has been passed on to Mason. Nobody has even given thought to anyone else having a shot. Glad i'm not at 171 anymore. :-D

What about Deion Chaney of Fern Creek? He told me this weekend he's coming back.

I really have to ask, is Ervin at 160 just completely untouchable, or is Wolsiefers (sp) year looking that bad, because as I recall everyone was having an orgasm every time they watched him wrestling, and only 1 person has him winning, and like 3 people dont even have him in the finals, I havent seen either of them wrestle yet, but how is this playing out?

I very much enjoy watching John wrestle. Sorry stiches, but I don't quite rise to level of excitement you describe.

Certain comments need to be taken into consideration. There are many variables which must be in place for a wrestler to become a champion. Some but not all are: physical attributes, such as speed, quickness, strength and athleticism; good health the weekend of the tournament, DESIRE to win, and willingness to train hard.

I am only aware of John having health issues this year as he apparently has been plagued by injuries. Perhaps this may change a person's opinion as to his chances of winning state this year. I can not or will not comment on anything else about John because I simply do not know and I won't speculate. He has earned my respect by his previous accomplishments. I will say this with great certainty: IF IF IF, all of the variable described above are in place, John will win state at 160, IMO.

I remember John beating an excellent wrestler, Cooper, in the finals John's sophomore year. He easily won the class last year as a junior. He has remained undefeated since a freshman, despite, wrestling in upper classmen dominate weight groups.

Ervin is a great wrestler, no doubt about it! But remember, he was losing to Goldsby throughout most of the match at last year's semi finals. A two time state finalist, Cooper, had a career ending injury in the regions the week before and Cooper could have very likely rewritten history at 152 last year. Ervin is very good but just not as tested as John. Ervin may be better than John this year? But if all things other nonphysical variable are equal, John has the raw athleticism that few possess and would win 160.

Win or lose, even if John never steps foot on the mat again, he is the man at 160 for this generation!

Sorry, last post had "nonsense" sentence. I rewrote it below.

But, if all nonphysical variables are equal, John has the raw athleticism that few possess and would win at 160.

I'm hoping to see Voth and Zeppa have a rematch, it was a close match on Saturday. I think it will be Zeppa and Voth in the finals, especially after seeing Voth's wrestling on Saturday.

i think Sullivan will pin whoever is in the finals.

i think Sullivan will pin whoever is in the finals.

I agree. He's a very good wrestler.

mason reid minor decision over matt neal.

they have wrestled once already and reid won 5-3 doesn't that mean something? wow

he will not pin everyone won't even put neal on his back :evil:

i think mason will pin who ever in the finals but we will see saturday at dragon

wow 5-3! mason must of wrestled bad or something. i think mason will pin/tech through the finals no matter who he faces

I think you will soon owe Matt Neal an apology as it appears that you have called Mason out on Matt's behalf.  Let's wish them both luck.  :roll:

that was last year at regionals and since then nobody in the state of kentucky has went three periods with him so i seriously doubt that will happen...it will be either hitching or brownfield in the finals with him.

They wrestled at GMVWA Holiday Tournament this year.  Neal did go three rounds with him and I believe the previous post had the correct score (5-3).  However, I don't see that happening again.......They may hit up this weekend.....or some other time before State.  My prediction-Mason via fall.

If they both fall on the same side who would you add to the list :?

Luke Troxell from Wayne County shoudl be added to the list....he's tough and he stuck Kincer from Letcher like two weeks ago so that's who i think will be in the finals with either Elam or Bradbury

while matt neal is not at the overall wrestling caliber of reid, he is however a step above in strength and intensity. he has lost to mason by 3 or less the last 3 times they have met. he is probably the only kid in the state at 171 that deep down truly believes he can beat reid.( i say probably because i leave the door open for hitchings who is a mentally tough wrestler in his own right).neal is what i call the absolute meanest , bad  a$$ attitude wrestler i have ever seen , actually to a fault. i say to a fault because he gets so caught up in the fight of the match that he tends to care more about beating up the kid instead of beating the kid and either gets dq'd or loses by a few points. if he had a coach to control his anger and get it all focused on winning he would be a 2 timer easy. while i am sure reid being a top notch tough guy himself and would not be concerned about anyone,  if you asked him who could possibly put up the best challenge in ky he would have to say matt neal. of course all of this is just one mans opinion.

Looks like the state finals will happen early at the Dragon as 4 of the top 5 171's will be there.  If rankings fall out as below and everyone wrestles well, matt neal will need to get by hitchings to get his shot at Reid again.  Let's see how it plays out.

To my knowledge, Wolsiefer is yet to result at all this year.  I haven't seen him at any tournaments where FC has wrestled.

true i cant wait to see that match if they do wrestle

Matt Neal will beat Hitchings.

I would guess they have never wrestled before?  It should be a pretty good match.  I haven't seen neal wrestle so it is difficult for me to predict the outcome.  I think Hitchings is pretty good and will give neal a run for his money.

Luke Troxell from Wayne County shoudl be added to the list....he's tough and he stuck Kincer from Letcher like two weeks ago so that's who i think will be in the finals with either Elam or Bradbury

kincer ad troxell have not wrestled this year. The only time wayne and letcher wrestled this year kincer wrestled travis and luke wrestler a 7th grader

Wolsiefer won KOB.  That's where he hurt his foot/ankle or what ever he did...

yea he did i was there i saw him

johnny will win state

yea he did i was there i saw him

He got hurt in the finals with marcell haynes from North Hardin. Hurt his ankle, almost couldn't finish. Great match. He won 9-7.

In the region 6 finals last year Neal and Reid wrestled and i believe the score was something like 7-4 or 7-3 in favor of Reid...does anybody feel like giving credit to people who don't get pinned by Mason Reid?

Yeah not to discredit him or anything but from what I've heard Mason is on a different level this year.

it was a minor decision when they wrestled at GMVWA 5-3

Well i believe neal and reid are on the same level their matches are always close always neal is reid's hardest match in state the last two years

Brad Hitching did a great job at the Dragon.

Mason won the match; but, Brad went at him hard and all six minutes. 12-6 maybe?

hard?  If be hard you mean he was a real tough ragdoll?  Reid dominated him.  The score wasn't close, Reid kept booting him and making him work.  Hitchings was gassed out.

I thought Mason controlled the entire match. Hitchings was gasping to catch his breath. Mason let him up 3 or 4 times just so he could take him down again. It wasnt a tough match for Mason. But Hitchings did take him down once. The score was 13-6 and Mason gave him 4 of them.

Trinity only won the tournament by 3 points.  A pin by Mason would have given Ryle a better chance to win the tournament.  Are you saying he could have pinned him but he just wanted to play with him?  I wonder what his team thinks about that.:?

No, Hitchings was never close to being pinned. But Mason did control most of the match.  Hitchings is a very good wrestler, but it wasnt close tonight.

Folks all fairness to both kids, Mason had 6 minutes to pin Hitching and didn't or couldn't.

Call it a beating if you want; but for six minutes Hitching went toe to toe and never backed off or ran from Mason.

Yes, Mason won the match and gave Brad some free points, but give Hitching some credit for a what 10th grader?

Yes, Hitching was smoked after the match, that's because he keep trying.

Well i believe neal and reid are on the same level their matches are always close always neal is reid's hardest match in state the last two years

They are at no where near the same level. They may have close matches but Mason still controls the whole match. At the GMVWA all Neal did was stall the whole time so that Reid could not turn him.
