Northern Kentucky teams were looking good at one of Cincinnati’s toughest tournaments this weekend. Cincinnati typically doesn’t give KY any respect but if you’re looking on Yappi everyone is praising the level of talent were bringing across the river.

Simon Kenton is looking well put together as they lead the tournament for over half of the first day. SK is currently #1 in the standing for Region 6 this year, they beat Ryle in a heads up dual and Ryle beat Campbell just last week. I know everyone isn’t situated at their weights yet but SK seems to have it together so far. Cooper won the tournament with a 3-2 win over a tough kid that looked like the Russian figher Drago from Rocky. Parrot was very tough losing a close one in the finals 4-2.

Ryle has some studs, I love the way that Ahern is wrestling. He lost a close one in overtime during the finals yesterday. That kid is always hanging on to something and keeping scrambles alive. Ruschell lost a close one in the Semis 2-1, other than that he handle everyone else with ease.

Surprised to see Clay Brown at 132, kid hit a growth spurt over the summer.

Great Job Kevin Cooper on a big win and all the NKY boys for a great showing. Way to bring it to OH and show you can compete!

It's a nice tough tournament which is in all honesty, probably tougher then the Kentucky State Tournament. And he best part is part two is next week at the GMVWA (Dayton Holiday Tournament) with around 40 teams. Simon Kenton, Ryle and Campbell County will be there!

35 teams at Coaches Classic and 49 at GMVWA

DING DING DING....Round TWO!!!! BRING IT ON! Good luck SK, Ryle and CC. Bring home some hardware in a tough GMVWA tourney.

Time to stir the pot! Which Northern Kentucky team places highest?

I guess it depends if all the teams are at full strength. Are we adding in the smoking guns....LOL? Folks back from academic vacation, injury ect? If we are going by just what we saw this weekend, I would have to say SK.

Ryle is hoping to have Maines (220) and Meiman (160) back they only took 11 to the SWOWCA

We will not have franke or Collins in our line up by this time, and franke can add some serious points on the board for us

Franke's coming back after the Christmas break, right?

Not until January
