i thought we were going to see someone finally giving sullivan a run for his money but apparently he has gone to 112 anyone know why spencer JC has gone 112 for state?

quarter's

voth vs. carr

parks vs. sullivan

these are going to be 2 really good matches at 103.

Sullivan is much too strong for the weaker Parks. Sullivan will pin Parks latest if not the first round the second.

I dont think spencer would have given Sullivan a run anyways. Spencer had a 10 point match against Bowling of Mccreary and Bowling had him on his back for a while. Sullivan would have beat Spencer just as bad if not worse then Vinsant.

I also agree that Sullivan is just to strong for Parks.

I have not gotten to see Carr or Voth wrestle but it should be good.

i think the parks sullivan match will be a lot closer than everyone seems to think, yes sullivan is very strong, but shane is a much better technical wrestler

evans of whitely didnt fair to bad against sullivan, and spencer KILLED evans.

Parks will win in OT in the quarters, win in OT in the semis and win in OT in the finals (Just like Tyler Baldwin did a few yrs. back) The kid wrestled an eternity in just a weekend.

Lets Go SHANE!!!!

That made me laugh

Go SULLIVAN.

how does that make you laugh parks is a good wrestler and has a lot of heart i think you all will be surprised by his perfomance against sullivan

I'm not taking anything away from Parks, he is a fine wrestler... The odds are just against him and I'm going for Sullivan.

Oh if I'm not mistaken and I have a fabulous memory, Sullivan pinned Parks last yr second round and history usually repeats itself.

how does everyone think Hines frome LaRue will do? :?:

Parks is indeed a fine wrestler and will finish top six in the state. Sullivan won't be challenged. I have seen this young man wrestle many times in his career and even had wrestles face him. For some odd reason he has received this label of just a thrower. I do believe that last year he didn't throw anyone in the state tournament but outwrestled everyone. He is a technically sound wrestler, one of the better ones in the state who has worked hard in the weight room and gotten to a point of being stronger than anyone else as well and this just adds up to no one touching him in any match.

Travis, after you pin Parks (nothing against Parks, Sullivan is just that much better) come look me up so I can congratulate you!!!

Actually if i recall correctly sullivan threw carr in the finals and stuck him, if parks can avoid being thrown he will come out on top parks is much more techinical and i gaurentee is in better shape if there is anyone out there that can give sullivan a run for his money it is parks

granny,

lets let the wrestlers settle it...Parks fought all yr. for this weekend and if you want to laugh at him...fine but you won't be the last one laughing.

LETS GO WOFO CO. add another one to the wall.

Has Larue ever won???? (serious question)

1. I am not really a "granny."

2. I'm not from Larue County, either.

3. I don't have anything at all against Woodford, I picked Lewis to win 112, Courtney at 145, Starks at 171, Starks at 189...

JUST NOT PARKS AT 103, AND A GOOD MAJORITY AGREES WITH ME.

P.S. Every wrestler who qualified for state "fought all yr for this weekend" ...that's illegitimate and doesn't mean Parks is beating Sullivan... I'm positive Parks will medal but he's no champ.

First, Granny, that memory is as sharp as a whipper snapper (kidding)! Second, I think this is not about any school, this is about kids being kids and having a great time in their life, for some, the most memorable. I thought Wo Co peoples' were just gonna wrestle and stop talking, I liked that. Larue is too tough to count out, Wayne? There are going to be some upsets along the way that some unattentive people will be surprised by. I say that because many people set their minds on certain people and never looked back, when you have time to look back,,,,,,,,, look back, once you are there it is too late to look back. I say that meaning there are some kids that have progressed, without fanfair, those are the kids to watch, if you took the blinders off! Let's all have fun and see ya there. I am not the fat guy! I am the happy guy!

Go SK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a lot of WOFO MOFO's keep bringing up how much more technical & in shape their guys are.....you know the rest of the state is in awe of you guys, and you know we all cower in your greatness....but give us all some respect....we all condition....and i haven't seen any technique from woodford wrestlers that's sooooo much better than the rest of the state. i'd have to say Ryle has the best & most technical coaching staff in the state.

having said all that....Sullivan is a machine. what's his record? last i heard, he was like 46-0 this year with 45 pins. the 1 match he didn't pin was a tech fall that a kid fought off his back and he wasn't able to finish the pin...Wayne County wrestles all over the place, so it's not like he hasn't faced good competition. if he walks through state like i think he will...i hope everyone gives him his props and says "there goes the best 103 lber this state has ever seen"

You're right, it isn't about schools...but sadly, some people make it that way. I don't care what school anyone comes from, if they're a good wrestler they're a good wrestler...

By the way, I'm 18... definitely not a grandma, it's just a nickname I was given about 4 years ago.. I know, I know, what kind of person am I with the nickname grandma lol

Pioneer pride,

You can't be serious with that post about Ryle having the best and most technical coaching staff in the state can you? That's ridiculous, I'm not trying to start a war on here but c'mon. Also the conditioning has only been mentioned a couple of times on this site, with Richard Starks and now Shane Parks with regards to Sullivan. We all know Richard Starks is in great shape, I don't think Shane is in that kind of shape. The only reason it is getting mentioned here with Shane is because he's being compared to Sullivan. Historically people who pin everyone quickly can't wrestle well late in matches because they usually don't last that long.

thank you very much hince why i said if shane can avoid being thrown by sullivan and force a 2-3 pt match late i think he will pull it off

i think little parks will pull it off, just like his older brother did too win state against the #1 ranked wrestler two years ago! Go Wofo! bring it back to the true state champions town!

AllAmericn157 - I'm totally serious with that statement. Dave Barnes & Rick Barker...you probably don't know who Rick Barker is, but he's probably one of the most technical wrestlers ever from this state. Right up there with yes, Joe Carr Jr. I don't expect you to believe me on that, you'd have to be around Rick to believe me. He's the $hit though. We're all entitled to our opinions, but I just really feel they have the best coaching staff in the state. The only thing that school is lacking is tradition. Woodford has it, once the Ryle kids see what a great program they have I look for them to start dominating.

This topic has gotten off subject. It doesn't matter what school you come from because everybody conditions, its the individual that conditions himself. A coach can tell you to run but only the athlete will push himself to the limit, only the athlete can make the decision to do the extra conditioning. The coaches from the school that have been mentioned are all great coaches who pass on a great deal of knowledge and all of them deserve a lot of respect because I can promise you that they aren't doing it for the money. Back to the subject I think Sullivan in a beast at 103 not because of conditioning, technique, or strength. Sullivan has something that a coach can't give you and that is attitude (not to be confused with cockiness). He wrestles with a tough attitude and has a good mindset for wrestling, he never seems nervous, he is always calm in every situation, and he knows he can throw anybody at any given time. The state tournament is full of drama and upsets so anything can happen but I do believe that sullivan has the potential to be one of KY's best ever 103's if he keeps going the way he has been. Also watch out for whitley county's 103, I saw him wrestle at regionals and he looked tough against Sullivan until he got caught like some many others have against Wayne Co. wrestlers.

LIKE I SAID, any person can win Grandma.

I will see ya there. Last post for me until Sunday.

To ALL, Good Luck and enjoy!

I will!

Go SK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one here ever said Wofo is in better shape, or more techincal than the rest of the state. The thread was originally about 103 pounders. Grandma said that sullivan will waltz thru state and parks winning was "laughable". I disagreed and said Parks will win in a close match....that's it....nuff said.

Everytime anyone from woodford says something positive about a WC wrestler or the team we get malayed w/ comments of "homerism". ITS BULL. I know Sullivan is a pure stud..I know Larue is awesome this yr. (and in the past). I admit these things constantly why is it that if I or Woodford99 or allamerican157 say one thing its automatic favortism???

Some (not all) people on here need to chill out a little and quit HATING on WC just b/c they win alot or you think some of them are cocky or prideful. That stuff goes on w/ every team (I know b/c I wasn't only a WC wrestler). If we can put all that nonsense aside this can be a very informational and productive discussion board.

the 103 voth only lost by 2 to sullivan...and im pretty sure carr only lost to him by 4...hes not unstoppable by any means

Parks lost 2-0,,,,heard there was plenty of stalling going on. Either way it was a well-wrestled match on both parts. Congrats Sullivan, good luck.

sullivan over carr 5-0 in the finals

I think it's time to give Sullivan a little respect. He won state two years in a row

9th- 66-0

10th 56-0

I asked him at state. I also know Sullivan made it throught state without throwing anyone

A 2 year period of 122-0 deserves a lot of respect.

I think the purple camel girl will pwnz all of you next year.......

thankfully the purple camel girl, aka "the great stalling camel" was a senior. seriously, sorry to pick on an individual....but she should have been stalled out of the state tournament in a few of her matches...honestly, she shouldn't have made it to state....at regionals she stalled for 6 minutes to reach the consolation semis. i've never seen a wrestler take steps back NON-STOP and get nothing called. not to mention her cross-faces were cocked back about as far as she could twist her body.

Pioneer;

I knew I could count on you to bring this up. The same thing was bothering me the last two weeks. Boy, she throws her crossfaces from left field past second and lands them home. I also believe that she needed a backup peep during her matches. The part that bothers me most about this is that she has/had a great shot when she used it.

Thanks again pioneer for bringing this up.

are you saying I like to start trouble? lol

no problem...i'll take the tons of hate PM's i'll get for calling a spade a spade. in all fairness, you're right, she's a good wrestler when she works hard...i just think if refs are too afraid to call stalling or penalty points on her, it let's her wrestle her match and puts other wrestlers at a huge disadvantage. TJ Bates from Conner put it on her during the regular season...then at state she backed up the entire match and he was unable to attack her legs. it completely changed the match.
