hey who is all going to the border wars wrestling tournament at conner high school march 11? Is it usually a good turn out? what is the competition level?

We've ran this tournament twice in the past....once in October 04, once in March 05. In October we had about 150 kids turn out, which I'm told is a decent turn out for an October tournament...the competition in that tournament was outstanding...mostly all very serious wrestlers a LOT of out of state wrestlers (11 states total). In March, we had 250 kids and were a little overwhelmed to be honest with you. I'd say the quality of wrestler wasn't quite as high in March...but the numbers were very good. There were still a few out of state wrestlers, but like 99% Oh & Ky.

This year we're adding a 4th mat, and capping it at 300 wreslters. There has not been a huge response yet, but I expect there will be 250+ wrestlers again. A few teams have contacted me and told me they would have 20+ kids there, so I think we'll have a good turn out of Oh, In, & Ky wrestlers.

Is there a weight alloance?? or do you have to be at scratch weight again??

yea im going henry clays 119 but im going 112 and henry clays 160 is also but he is going 171

Southern112,

off season tournaments is just fun and practice.

i agree with that totally, i think that its a bad thing to cut wieght for the offseason, even if your in a tough wieght class, it's just going to make you better.

Well said GB. I agree totaly. Save the wt. loss for the high school season. I would only lose wt. for the Sr. nationals or some other huge tourney like that.

Wrestle have fun and just gain that mat time.

it's starting to look like a pretty decent turn out for this tournament. we have approx 100 pre-registrations (more than last year the week of the tournament). we'll be somewhat flexible on the 300 limit, but i definitely won't go over 350 wrestlers. if you're interested in coming, and haven't already pre-registered, you should send an email to me at [email protected]. We just had 4 Illinois kids pre-register, so we're starting to get some out of state interest....which is always good. There hasn't been as many Ohio & Indiana kids yet, but we shall see.

this is a great tournament. its way up north so its convenient for indiana and ohio wrestlers, so a lot of them usually come down for it, and theres always other states that bring good competition, and great in state competition as well, im really looking forward for it.

Is there a weight alloance?? or do you have to be at scratch weight again??

Yeah cutting weight isnt a good idea, but you do have to make scratch weight.

it says all age groups but it also only gives weight classes for 18 years and younger does anyone know if there is a senior or college level for college kids to come wrestle in it.

well i dont really have much weight to cut to make 112, but im going to wrestle 112 for sure at border wars, ill prolly weigh 113 naturally, ill just watch what i eat the night before i wrestle...usually im like 3 pounds lighter at early weigh ins anyway lol

is their a list of kentucky wrestlers in it yet? any predictions?

im under 12 now..i was just wonderin cause our FAT 130 gained 10 pounds in a week and i was wonderin for him...

........but ill tell em what yall said and call him a dummy if he cuts weight...lol

i weigh 151 at the moment

are you going to go 152 then

it says all age groups but it also only gives weight classes for 18 years and younger does anyone know if there is a senior or college level for college kids to come wrestle in it.

There is not a college level, it's for 18 years and younger. If you're a freshman in college and 18 years old, you can participate.

ya ill be going 152 for the tourney...off season tournaments i dont wanna be muscling kids which i did during the season i need to work on technique in the summer

will starks is going 189 at this tournament

any other woodford kids going

glad to hear some woodford kids will be there...all the wrestlers I've met from there the past 2 years have been good guys and hard workers.

Now we just need some Larue kids. Any Larue kids planning on attending our tournament?

The wrestlers from holmes are going.

I beleive ryle and scott wrestlers will be there.

And also the bearcat wrestling club is attending again this year.

any results yet?

I heard that Wasson from Harr Co, beat Goldsby, and also beat Tim Winchester from Wayne Co.

yea and cliff cornett beat luna and then lost to cory spencer by 1 i think to a last second takedown

yea and cliff cornett beat luna and then lost to cory spencer by 1 i think to a last second takedown

The whole 5 minute period thing messed Luna up. He probably could've won that match if it were 3 periods. Everytime he waas about to get a reversal the ref would make them start neutral again

the most funniest and best match is at 189-215

Will Starks VS Chad Fyffe

I think Chad won the 1st match and then forfeited the second one they had since they entered twice 2 will and went home,it was fun 2 watch,lol

The whole 5 minute period thing messed Luna up. He probably could've won that match if it were 3 periods. Everytime he waas about to get a reversal the ref would make them start neutral again

yea that may have been true but cornett took luna down 4 times pretty impressive, if you take someone down 4 times in a match i dont care how good the guy is on bottom your going to lose most of the time

Corey Spencer looked really solid with a nice 8-0 win over Vinsant of Wayne Co. and then a tight win over Cornett of Henry Clay. Not sure how the modifications would change a real match, but Spencer looked great from his feet. (I really liked the format becasue of the mat time from neutral that it gave wrestlers)

I also continue to be impressed by Daniels of Wayne County. He is strong, aggressive, and he looked great in this tournament.

My top 10 list from the weekend of wrestling:

1) No whining about the format. Everyone know about if before they stepped on the mat and it wasn't dreamed up to favor anyone.

2) This event had some of the best KY compeitition I have ever seen at an off-season tournament.

3) Trinity will be a team to be reckoned with in the next few years, even more than in the past (and for years to come).

4) Myron Bradbury is a little stud. It looked like he was giving up a lot of weight, but still got the job done, often in convincing fashion against some tough competition. Is he related to the Central Hardin Bradbury's?

5) Cornett looked very good. I don't care what format it was, he beat Luna fair and square.

6) I think we saw further evidence that the Wasson/Allman debate is dead. Both bumped up significant weight to 152. Allman showed nothing. Wasson beat Winchester and Golsby. Enough said.

7) I'm not looking forward to the battle for the HWT title next season. I watched Young and Smith (Valley) go at it and both looked sloppy and out of shape. Unless they do some work this summer to get better (not maintain) they will not challenge Byrd.

8) A pat on the back to all of the wrestlers, parents, coaches, and fans who remained calm and patient for a couple hours with no power in the building.

9) Great win for Korey Shotwell over Josh Johnson.

10) Veach gave Peace a good match, but Peace held on for his usual controlling victory.

Yes, he is related to Marcus and Mason, they are his older brothers.

Shotwell is gonna be a beast ... he's getting close already.

Wasson must have been cutting an amazing amount of weight this year to go all the way to 152 less than a month out of the season. But then again i did comment he was massive for his weight.

Ranger123 - thanks for the compliment on the toughness of the tournament. We are trying to draw the best kids to this tournament. We missed the boat by not getting a banner ad placed at www.ohiowrestler.com. We usually have a banner ad there, it'll be up next year, and hopefully we'll get another 25-50 kids or so from Ohio. I think a lot of that comes from how much wrestling has improved in Kentucky in the past few years.

I'd also like to thank all the parents, wrestlers, & coaches who were very patient. I've been involved with running 2 tournaments now that have had power outages....I'm starting to think I may be jinxed! Thank you everyone for being great. We had less complaints this year than in the past....considering the power outage, I expected a LOT of upset parents.

As far as the format, I like it a lot and I think it places emphasis where it should be in the off-season, on takedowns. The most dominating wrestlers are great on their feet. I believe the format for this tournament will be similar next year as well. This format also allows the refs more flexibility to force action on the mat. The only change we may consider for next year is having age groups assigned to mats. That way we could wrestle 5-8 on a split mat or possibly even quartered mat.

I will post results on this website sometime today. As for numbers, we had 256 wrestlers. That's a pretty decent turn out....considering there were a lot of Ohio tourneys & Indiana is still in their m.s. season.

yea and cliff cornett beat luna and then lost to cory spencer by 1 i think to a last second takedown

cornett had a early 7-2 lead and spencer came back to win 7-8

I personally don't like this type of format. It's kinda like the old takedown tourneys back in my time. (I never went to many of those).

When I see wrestling I want to see a complete wrestler. The ultimate objective in wrestling is to pin your opponent. When you have these kids that tech-pin (another invention I don't like) or win by going takedowns, to me is a boring match.

I want to see switches pettersons, grambys, someone throwing the boots in. I want to see someone coming off thier back and scoring points.

Even at the this tourney Hardy and the other two refs were allowing them to wrestle a little on the mat. Cole on the other hand would stop the match in mid switch and bring them to thier feet. (this is not what I wanted to see)

But what do I know I also like watching the Big Boys (Hwts) wrestle. At least when there are a few that actually wrestle. This years Hwts were boring and give HWTs a bad name.

cornett had a early 7-2 lead and spencer came back to win 7-8

yea i think that was mostly related to being out of shape, cliff had an 8-2 lead on luna as well luna came back to make it an 8-7 victory hes outta shape for an off-season tourament no surprise

This format does make for less wrestling on the mat. But if you had 1 area that you wanted your wrestler to be dominating at, most coaches would say it would be in the neutral position. I'd say that's probably why the old take down tournaments used to be popular. It may be boring to some people to watch a kid take another kid down and let them up (personally it's not boring to me), but a guy who can do that consistently is going to win a LOT of matches.

It may win you a lot of matches but it won't win you THE match. If you can't get away from someone on bottom you are in a heap of trouble.

I just believe in a full wrestler, a wrestler that can do it all like Murton, Rushcell ect. ect.

The tech-pin has caused wrestlers to become takedown wrestlers. Its the one rule I would like to change. Many old wrestlers were proud to go the full 6 minutes with a returning state champ and not get pinned.

Oh well I'm getting off topic and I'm stuck in the past.

I agree a complete wrestler is best. However, if someone is unbelievable in neutral and terrible everywhere else they will be a top guy in the state.

In the first period keep taking the guy down and letting him up.

2nd period. Your choice. Choose neutral.

3rd period. Other guy's choice ... he'll probably choose bottom if he's losing. Let him up. If he chooses neutral, he gives you the choice again basically. If he chooses top ... just don't go to your back.

Although in college it could bite you with the whole riding time thing if it ends in a tie.

Thats a lame way to wrestle, but it would be effective if you were unstoppable in neutral ... and hence i like tourneys that focus on neutral as its most important.

I disagree about technical pins generating take-down wrestlers. Think about this: If you are going to tech another wrestler by take-downs you would have to take down your opponent 15 times in 6 minutes ( 2 take down points for every 1 point escape). I call that a beating! I don't care how good of a mat wrestler you are, if the above occurs, you deserve to lose.

Ranger123 never was the debate who was better Wasson/Allman. Simply put based on performance Allman should have been ranked if wasson was, and I believe it was you that said and I Quote "And the only match Allmen can hang his hat on is a tournament at Bourbon Co last summer when Wasson was way out of shape" SO If it doesn’t count to lose summer tourneys because you are out of shape tell me why now does it matter? When wasson wins it counts, make up your mind before you make any more illogical arguments to me. So you should tell me I was right before and allmen should be ranked because of the state tournament results, he beat the kid that beat wasson first round, and because he beat wasson at the last summer tournament. Or tell me that you are wrong by using this tournament as any kind of weight in an argument that you are trying to use that as no standards other than you are trying to prove a point that you can’t and bye the way you are doing a terrible job in doing so

There is a big difference between a "summer" tournament in early March (shortly after the season) and one later in the summer. 3 weeks after the state tournament (when guys should be at their best) you shouldn't be that far out of shape.

Okay, since you seem to have all of the answers, knock yourself out. Where would you put Allman?

And as I said before, he has all season to prove me wrong.

One other point. As I also stated, I'm not doing the usual process of taking out the seniors and ranking based on the state tournament finish. I don't see any value in that. You can do that on our own. I am putting my own opinion, knowledge, and expertise into what I think will happen next season. I'm sure I will be off on some guys. They will either gain weight or lose it. Some will work hard and improve in the off season while others will sit on the couch eating oreos all summer. In case you haven't figured it out yet, we won't know that until next season get's here. I'm basing my rankings on what I have seen from these guys throughout that last few seasons and what I think they are likely to do, or not do in the case of Allman. I simply don't see him repeating that type of draw/performance.

Not sure what this is all about, but I do agree that summer tourneys are not correct guages to the wrestlers.

1. The wrestlers are out of shape

2. The wrestlers don't prepare mentally for these tourneys.

3. Officials don't take it as serious.

4. Some wrestlers don't practice in the summer

5. The wrestlers don't take it seriously (Did you see how many matches where the wresters were laughing during the match?) I saw Fyffe smilling during one of his matches, many of the SK boys, Golsby during the Wasson match, the CC group were laughing at each other from the sidelines.

It may win you a lot of matches but it won't win you THE match. If you can't get away from someone on bottom you are in a heap of trouble.

Oh well I'm getting off topic and I'm stuck in the past. [/quote']

I don't agree with you on the not being able to win "THE match". Consider the Banks vs. Courtney finals. Banks was the better of the 2 on his feet....BUT Courtney was close enough to score a takedown on him....if Banks would have scored that takedown....if he would have completely dominated on his feet, he would have won that match.

Anyhow, it's just a difference of wrestling opinions.

Basically, Chitna is mad because I didn't rank Allman in the preseason rankings. He says if Wasson is ranked Allman should be because he beat Carey at state. I disagree. Then I simply said that Allman didn't do anything to prove he deserved to be ranked this past weekend. Bottom line, he's just mad.

Pionner using that same match;

Banks let Courney up because he could not hold him down. If he could have he would have won. (I did however think it was a guttsy move).

Banks would also not wrestle on the bottom with Courney.

I also agree that Banks outwrestled him except for the one takedown.

Another match that comes to mind is Metzker/Cooper match. Metzker in my opinion was great on his feet, but Cooper made up with his mat wrestling.

But like you said it's a matter of opinion. There have been wrestlers that were only good on thier feet that won them state titles also. Starks (Soph, maybe Jr. year)

If I remember correctly, didn't Banks let him up near the end of the period and didn't have enough time to take him down? That definitely backfired. I think he was better, but Courtney was good enough and defensive enough on his feet to not allow Banks to just put on a takedown clinic on him. I think Banks' thinking was let him up and take him down for a 3 pt lead. I think that's how it went. Man I can't wait for next year!!! The middle weights are going to be awesome to watch next year. Banks, Courtney, Cooper, Wolsiefer.

I've heard enough of this mess, aint sitting quiet anymore. Wasson beat Rust once this year. Rust "peched" Allman, if Allman had gotten out of the pinning combo Rust had him in the match would have been stopped because of a tech. But he didn't and got pinned. Again, two weeks or so before state Rust beat Allman by 12.

Its really hard to argue Allman is better than Wasson, if Wasson beat Rust (and wrestled Rust to REALLY close losses their other two matches) in light of how bad Rust smoked Allman twice ... in season. I'm sorry ... i have a hard time going against Ranger on this one.

Please remember, the Anderson Co kid didn't score his first point until a stalling call with time running out. Wasson let him up, and had to take a desperate shot with time running out. Anderson didn't necessarily outwrestle Wasson therefore, its more like Wasson beat Wasson. So quoting that one match isn't necessarily the way to go either arguing your point.

Allman had a good weekend and a great draw at state, and he has the opportunity to prove the rankings wrong next year and move up quickly. But nothing even remotely points at him being better than Wasson except for that one match the state tourney ... and considering the circumstances of how Wasson lost that its still sketchy.

I would disagree a little on these points:

1) We're not that far removed that you should use conditioning as a reason for getting you behind handed to you

2) Somewhat agree. BUT, when you look at that bracket and see who is coming up the adrenaline still get's flowing for those big matches

3) I thought the officiating was better than most of the regular season meets I went to.

4) Again, we're not that far removed from the regular season. Plus, I know that some teams have been putting on youth clinics over the last few weeks, so guys are still on the mat.

5) Agree that some guys just show up for the meet. But I guarantee a few guys took those matches pretty serious. Ask Cornett, Luna, Shotwell. And I'm guessing McCauley didn't want to lose to Bradbury again.

Where are the results?

On the way...I have them in excel format, but I have to retype them in notepad in order to post them.

I agree completely with ranger on the Wasson\Allman situation, Wasson is clearly a superior wrestler and Allman just got a lucky draw, im not saying that Allman is a bad wrestler im saying Wasson is better.

Below are the results from the 2006 Cougar Kids Open. If you see any issues, please send me a PM.

I agree completely with ranger on the Wasson\Allman situation' date=' Wasson is clearly a superior wrestler and Allman just got a lucky draw, im not saying that Allman is a bad wrestler im saying Wasson is better.[/quote']

Well put. I've got no reason to beat up on the kid (Allman), but i want to make the point i think its not at all unfounded to rate Wasson higher.

Pionner using that same match;

Banks let Courney up because he could not hold him down. If he could have he would have won. (I did however think it was a guttsy move).

Banks would also not wrestle on the bottom with Courney.

I also agree that Banks outwrestled him except for the one takedown.

Another match that comes to mind is Metzker/Cooper match. Metzker in my opinion was great on his feet' date=' but Cooper made up with his mat wrestling.

But like you said it's a matter of opinion. There have been wrestlers that were only good on thier feet that won them state titles also. Starks (Soph, maybe Jr. year)[/quote']

Grap,

From the other two matches twixt these two, Pat could ride Courtney out eaisly but not score any back points (too bad we don't have riding time). Courtney on top tried to tilt Pat but couldn't break 45 degrees to score any back points. Pat thought he could beat Courtney from nuetral but Courtney used the whizzer to fend off the double leg very nicely. Pat did not adjust very well to that counter but was the more aggressive in the first two periods. I think the last 30 seconds he just got a little gassed from all of the effort not only in that match but also against Wilson and Ervin (little tougher side of the bracket). Pat's strategy backfired a little due to the counter and he may have been better off to try and ride after the first takedown leaving it up to Courtney to try and get a takedown to tie instead of win (who knows). Two really good wrestlers though in a really good match.

Does anybody know which Zeppa brother wrestled Sullivan?If so what was the score?

Andre, Antonio wrestled 119, not sure of the score tho
