I am new to this board and have been following Kentucky high school wrestling for a year...but now I am a big fan!!!!! I want to congratulate Harrison Courtney for being named Most outstanding wrestler of the state tournament. This was my first year going to state and I can say I am impressed with all the talent Kentucky has!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seen a few of Harrisons matches and was also impressed.....this kid seems like he has natural talent..the stuff some seem to be givin to at birth...but the one thing that impressed me the most about this kid was how he is off the mat......I got to speak to him for just a minute to wish him good luck in his finals.......and it suprised me....I was expecting a kid that would be full of himself but what I seen was a down to earth...friendly...respectful...focused kid. So on and off the mat I think Courtney is one heck of a wrestler ..I am sure his coaches.....Woodford Co.....and his family and friends are very proud of him. He deserved in my book that award last night....I did notice on here some of you are not Courtney fans..maybe becuse he is from Woodford.....but I am here to tell you after this weekend.....I am a Courtney believer and fan!!!!! and I am not from the Woodford district... we should be proud when kids like this REPRESENT OUR STATE......"Kentucky".
I want to congratulate all the kids who made it to state.......it gives me another reason to be proud to be from Kentucky......job well done guys.........and of course.......congratulations to Harrison Courtney for his 3 peat and being named MOW.
