Mr. Wrestler

I think we need a Mr. Wrestler award for who had the best year. What are your thoughts on this?

wouldnt it be the same thing as MOW at the state tournament?

I love the idea. That way, someone who wrestled his heart out all season, as opposed to a guy who only wrestled a few matches in state, would have a chance to be recognized.

Mr Wrestler sounds kinda odd, how bout another name!

Some ideas:

KY Wrestler of the Year!

or

KY Grappler Award!

Any ideas?

Mr. Toughest of all sports award??  :wink:

I like Wrestler of the Year. I think it should have requirements that the wrestler has to have wrestled so many matches in state. It can be announced at the State Championship but not necessarily be a State Champ.

If you were to give a Mr Wrestling (Which I don't like) then why put a requirement such as this on it? 

If the individual is the best in Ky then he is the best in KY.  It is very easy for those that live in Lou, Lex. area to complain about the out of state wrestling.  They do not have to travel 2 hours for in state meets. 

In Nky you have a choice.  Wrestle across the river in Cincinnati Ohio (a 15-20 minute drive) or travel to Lou. or Lex (a 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive).  The choice is easy better competition and lower travel costs.  Don't punish a kid because his team wrestles out of state most of the year.  I know that the other fringe schools do the same.

They do give the award. A guy from woodford got it last year and mitch ervin got it this year. They honor them in the summer kentucky vs tennessee high school football game.

Why honor a wrestler at a football game?

Coverage is coverage man. Wrestlers need as much recognition as possible so they proably recognize them at a huge event.

Yeah, I was talking to Richard Starks when he was home for Christmas his freshman year and told me he was awarded this after his senior year. I had no clue what he was talking about. Unfortunately, no one else seems to either. Who gives out the award?

i think the khsaa gives someone mr wrestler, usually to a senior.. its always right after states over according to coach walls.
