its not uncommon for a 8th grader to go to state
How about 7th graders?
Franklin County's 112 is a 8th grader. And he placed 2nd in region 7, he lost to will bryant from lafayette in the finals.
David Sahms was Fort Campbells first 8th grader to qualify since Alan Johnson
How about 7th graders?
sheldon clarks 103 is a seventh grader and he placed 3rd in region 8
112 Wade Holtsclaw 8, John Hardin
119 Caleb Canter 8, LaRue
Canter was 100 at middle school state a week ago and had to bump up to get into the lineup:
103 Nick Paden, Larue 9
112 Justin Thompson, Larue 12
Pretty impressive and gutsy :-D
Did everyone forget Kevin cooper?
holmes 125 or 130 maybe 110 cody johnson
id have to go with Wade Willen(8th grade) from UHA ranked 8th, yet in the region 1 finals beat 6th ranked Neal Reburn from UC.
What 8thj graders made it to state from region 6? Kevin Cooper, Lane Jones. What about Iisac Hamlin, is he an 8th grader? Anyone else from region 6 I left out?
.
I think its very impressive and great to see 8th graders place in region and make it to state. Cant wait to see how much improved they will get over the years!

Mitch Rusch, North Oldham's 103 is a 7th grader.

Forgot someone
Its going to happen much more with 32 man brackets. This may be the positive side of that. Younger kids getting more experience. I know some fishest in the top two that would have qualified in a 16 man bracket.
Forgot someone
1) As you can tell by the date of my post, I copied it off the KHSAA site BEFORE the brackets were fixed (i.e. inputting Fort Campbell and Fort Knox).
2) It was NOT an intentional slight. When you're dealing with 14 brackets of 32 kids, it's not uncommon to forget someone (i.e. I had 24 of the 25)

I wasnt being rude I was just helping you complete the list
If I thought it was intentional I wouldve said so
Thought I might add what each did in Middle School State (in Parentheses)

The Break Down
Middle school wt classes
103 had 6 high school state qualifiers
131 had 4 high school state qualifiers
185 had 3 high school state qualifiers
117 had 2 high school state qualifiers
110 had 1 high school state qualifier
124 had 1 high school state qualifier
140 had 1 high school state qualifier
230 had 1 high school state qualifier
5 did not wrestle in the middle school state.
Just thought I'd add some insight to bulldog-leaders last post: Jeremy Burnham would have wrestled in Middle School State but finished 5th in region 1. I'm sure some of the others who did not wrestle would have if they could have place ahead of their middle school competition. For Jeremy that was eventual MS champion Logan Wedding, 2nd Place Caleb Canter, Wade Willen 3rd place and Chad Gafaher 4th or 5th at MS and 5th at 112 in the HS Region 1 tournament.

3 Middle School/High School State Placers:
103lb Wade Willen 8th place
112lb Wade Holtsclaw 7th place
119lb Kevin Cooper 3rd place
Kevin Cooper looked awesome he had a great state tournament!
Even though he did not place, I was very impressed with Vanover. Kids going to be a beast in the years to come.
Yeah, Refdad Isaac is an 8th grader.
I was very impressed with Kevin Cooper! I wonder how much he walks aroud at (Weight)?
