Woodford won't finish lower than third.

Where is the Dragon invitational held, there looks like there will be some serious competition going on there.

South Oldham High School ,yes one of the toughest tourneys of the year!

norbury vs. murphy rematch whats up! i'm pumped and i know he is

at 103:

#1 Fahy TRI, #3 Bracco WOOD, #6 Ruschell RYLE, #10 Abney? TC, #11 Schuyler OC, #15 Crittenden JH, #17 Corrigan STX, #18 Rusch NO, #20 Hanley LAF.

im not so sure that TC will finish 4th like soeone has above, i guess it depends on how they fill their holes from injuries and sickness

norbury vs. murphy rematch whats up! i'm pumped and i know he is

Rematch?

What was the results from the first time you'll wrestled?

Rematch?

What was the results from the first time you'll wrestled?

11-7 it wasn't my best showing ever i'm ready this time i kinda got schooled the last time neutral was a nightmare for me in the match

11-7 it wasn't my best showing ever i'm ready this time i kinda got schooled the last time neutral was a nightmare for me in the match

He looks extremely strong for 130.

Didnt Murphy handle Norbury the first time?

but what ive seen Norbury looks impressive especially by teching whalen and murphy hasnt looked so hott

11-7 it wasn't my best showing ever i'm ready this time i kinda got schooled the last time neutral was a nightmare for me in the match

One match at a time and NEVER underestimate your opponent.

true that  8-)

after watching norbury at capital city i think he beats Murphy he just looked so smooth and handled his opponents

who did he wrest :? no one as good as murphy or a strong

teched joe whalen and pinned byran thompson and handled him the whole match murphy really didnt impress me at region 2 duals part 2

ohh we will see

Excluding Campbell County, Larue and North Hardin there aren't that many good teams missing from this tournament. Whoever wins 119, 160 and 189 will have nobody talking about them not being the best after this weekend,

i know mitch rusch wont be there at 103, the middle schoolers in that region have regionals this weekend.

is anyone gonna actually give predictions?

I trinity running away with the team title. Ryle in second, followed by South Oldham and John Hardin Battling for 3rd.

103- Fahy

112- Bradbury

First off, Zarth isn't going to win.  Secondly, I want to see the Chiba vs. Trinity match, can't remember the kids name but i think it could be good.  Also, I saw Davis last weekend, he will run away with this tournament,  and Frost doesn't have the guns to beat out Whiting

i think mow is up for grabs. there are way too many good wrestlers at this tournament to call it right now. and i dont think frost can beat whiting. chiba vs. messina will be a good match as well as zarth vs. osborne. i do have to give 189 to ryan houchens though

There are alot of wrestlers in the Top 10 wrestling this weekend, I see 6 of the top 10 wrestlers going at it, should make for some good matches, the Dragon looks stacked all the way through

Anybody know how things have gone so far?

I saw North Oldham had most of their roster out- Rusch, Forbes, Dan Thomson, Stuerle, Holtzman, little Rusch... where were they all?

Jordan Whiting vs. Frost in the finals

I saw North Oldham had most of their roster out- Rusch, Forbes, Dan Thomson, Stuerle, Holtzman, little Rusch... where were they all?

middle school regionals, sick, hurt, its getting too close to regionals and state to risk getting hurt

Results anyone?

I am not exactly sure of the score but Ryle won over Trinity by 3.  Ryle had 7 finalist with 3 winners.  Ruschell, Osborne, Palmer, Mace, Coyle, Hogben, and Bradford. 

Zarth MOW with win over Osbourne

other winners Fahey, Bradbury, Norbury, Johnson, Davis, 45?,Courtney, Hitchings, Chiba, Whiting

does ne one know who had 7th at 160 because they said i had to forfeit the 7th n 8th place match becuz of the 5 match thing. but i didnt here them call for the 160 7th plce match

Yes Ryle did manage to pull out the victory over Trinity and others! Trinity was without Ohlman who should be back by State Duels! No execuses however Ryle deserved it congrats to them!

what about Houchens v. Bradford who came out on top? What was the score of the Ozzy v. Zarth match?

what about Houchens v. Bradford who came out on top? What was the score of the Ozzy v. Zarth match?

ruschell beat bracco

How did he beat him? Score?

Anyone have full results?

Summery of Bradford Houchens match;

Bradford shoots in the first period. Houchens stops the shot goes to a front headlock and goes behind (T2) Bradford escapes innediatly, shoots and takes Huochens down. He rides him out  Score 3-2.

2nd period Bradford takes down and excapes, he takes Houchens down and rides him out, nearly turning him twice. Score 6-2.

3rd period Bradfords rides Houchens most of period.  Houchens tries to stand up with apbout 25 seconds left. Bradford drops down to single below knee, Houchens leans back inot Bradford and trys to spin out with 15 seconds left on the match. Bradford hangs on and I think Houchems knee popped.  He screams and they stop the match.  The match was not resumed

Did Bracco get to wrestle Fahy? If so, what was the score?

I can give you the score if they did wrestle pin in the first period.

Well i can see that everyone has pretty much underestimated Woodford Co.

Well i can see that everyone has pretty much underestimated Woodford Co.

So whoever posted this prediction spoke for everyone???  I believe this one person may have underestimated Woodford. 

So what were the entire final results. scores please.

Woodford looked strong. No love for St.X finishing 4th? South Oldham is coming back, too.

First off, Zarth isn't going to win.  Secondly, I want to see the Chiba vs. Trinity match, can't remember the kids name but i think it could be good.  Also, I saw Davis last weekend, he will run away with this tournament,  and Frost doesn't have the guns to beat out Whiting

zarth did win

Woodford looked strong. No love for St.X finishing 4th? South Oldham is coming back, too.

South had a hard hit yesterday.  I doubt either the 215 brown or 285 forrest kid will be back, both of them left yesterday with pretty ugly injuries.

GREAT JOB, STEVE!!!

thanks

how would union county or larue county done if they had entered this tourney?

houchens was also having a tough time in his semi finals match. dont remember who it was to, but he was losing by about four points, before the kid made a huge mistake and got stuck late in the third.

It was josh lewis i saw that he pulled it out in the last minute or so

yeah i thought for sure that he was going to beat him, then somehow he ended up on his back, congrats by the way on your win over murphy.

thanks but i gotta win state thats when it matters  :mrgreen:

It was josh lewis i saw that he pulled it out in the last minute or so

also at the end josh lewis seemed to have an asthma attack and was on his bac for a while after the match breathing very hard. my team was nect to trinity in the stands and they were trying to find his inhaler. hope hes ok cause he gave houchens a tough match

yeah any news on how he is doing?

Josh is alright. The only thing possibly injured is his pride.

Thank you for your concern.

how did 152 shake out?

how would union county or larue county done if they had entered this tourney?

tell them to show up next time and we'll know how they would have done... :-D

will bryant almost pinned myron bradbury i know almost doesnt count for much but it was still impressive

will bryant almost pinned myron bradbury i know almost doesnt count for much but it was still impressive

what was the final score

bryant was winning most of the match and in the last minute myron pulled ahead  and stuck him

bryant scored first off a hip toss and kept bradbury on his back for a full 5 count. they were near the edge of the mat and bradbury finally worked his way out. after that bradbury took control of the match and won by pin.

i have to say bradbury looked pinned to me, but he did take control of the match after he got off his back.

Are there going to be brackets posted for this tourney?  Anyone have a copy of all the weight classes that they can post somewhere?

I would also love to see the brackets.

Most Outstanding Wrestler-Matt Zarth

I don't know the teams after this but i think it was South Oldham

Hopefully others can fill in the rest

it wasnt stephen supe over kasey hedges for third and fourth it was supe and kirby goodwine. kirby lost by close to a major. i met with supe in the conso semis. i was winning 6 to 2 going into the third and made a few mistakes that put me on my back. it was 7 to 6 supe with 15 seconds left when i made a desperation shot, and he took me down to make it 9 to 6. it was a good match, congrats stephen, cant wait to wrestle again.

Okay, then

I'm pretty sure the score to the Zarth/Osbourne match was actually 6-5.... Also, third place at 145 was Zack Bolog from Ryle to help fill in one of those blanks

Wow i can see these two having a awesome finals match at state.  :mrgreen:

I'm pretty sure the score to the Zarth/Osbourne match was actually 6-5.... Also, third place at 145 was Zack Bolog from Ryle to help fill in one of those blanks

Was it that close?  It seemed like Zarth dominated the entire match, just wearing Osbourne down with his strength. 

The Dragon's a great tournament but i have always had a problem with their finals matches being so anticlimactic: no face-off, its not run on 1 mat in the center of the room but rather 3 mats on 1 side, and its so late that everybody justs wants to leave

Was it that close? 

Apparently, it was. 

I believe the final score was 6-2, with Zarth seemingly in control. Osborne threatened to score a couple of times, but the final 5 seconds was when the HC coaches had to be holding their breathe. Osborne nearly took Zarth from his feet to his back. He just couldn't hold him there.

Osborne did get a takedown and two back points in the last 30 seconds and Zarth got an escape with 5 seconds left (if that).  Final score was 6-5.

The final score was 6-5, but they didn't put it on the score board, back points for Osborne.

Final wrestling match presentations at the Dragon was a joke.

It was so late I think the powers that be just wanted to get done ASAP

wrestlers and coaches had to stand in line like going through security at an airport and when the " powers that be" saw how long it was taking ,they just let them on through unattested.  This was just the start of a horendously long ,drawn-out day to say the least.

really do we need to have this conversation AGAIN? this is the 3rd time in the last 6 months. so you had to wait a little, so did i just quit complaining

Is Houchens OK? Will he be able to return this season? What kind of injury?

Any update to any off the S. Oldham kids that got hurt :?

Will they be able to go come Regions :?
