jets Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 More wrestling is always a good thing.....but - I'm not sure where I fall on this one (personally). Seems to be a bit of overkill.... CoachDuke2.0, patriotfan, MitchRobb and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a bit of overkill.... I really love the idea of a JV qualifier and a JV state. For programs like mine that struggle getting, and keeping numbers, additional JV matches this late in the season is a huge sell!! Most JV wrestling is done about this time of year. Small and middle size programs could benefit from this, because many kids may not want to spend the next month practicing knowing they most likely will not compete again this season.

CoachLionheart Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I wish it was a little more centrally located for the New Castle Semi-State. A lot of the Richmond Regional would have an almost 2 hr drive. It would have also been nice to have the information a little sooner in the season. Would have liked to send some kids to this meet but we scheduled our JV team to go to a multi dual meet so they could get matches.

rmckinney88 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I just heard that Jimtown weigh ins are at 8am not 9am. If you are wanting to bring your team, I would verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids who stay on JV have a chance to be a state champ and / or work towards something. jonah7474, Coplen187, CainBones and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What most of you on this board probably don't think about or consider, is putting on these events requires quite a bit - setting up mats, finding table workers, concessions, etc... Takes a lot of dedicated and selfless people to make this like JV State come together. AnonymousLeprechaun0125 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppe66 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) Really surprised more coaches haven't registered their kids. This is an opportunity for JV kids to get mat time. Unless everyone is waiting until Friday? Edited January 12 by poppe66 jonah7474 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless everyone is waiting until Friday? Problem is next weekend is JV Team State, which falls on the same day as JV Individual State. So you have many of the top JV teams getting 4-5 duals. CP, BB, CG, Columbus East, Franklin, Mater Dei, Warren Central and others. Unfortunate timing IMO. Maybe next year we can get the dates adjusted.

Seems to be a bit of overkill.... It makes sense to me and more opportunity is always better. There are plenty of kids in the state that cannot make the lineup and instead of them being a practice dummy for the last 5+ weeks they can get matches in and have something. To work towards. i will always be a fan of young people striving for something! GenHeavyHandz, Lawdiggity, MUSKEEWRESTLER and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Mangan Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 So what's going on with this? Have regionals been rescheduled or are we just going straight to JV State this Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhayes Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The regionals were cancelled due to weather. All that registered for a regional were moved into the State bracket. This is going to be a great event! Nearly 500 wrestlers! Due to the amount of participants, weigh in has been moved to 8:00 with wrestling to start at 9:00 and there will be 10 mats instead of 6!

CoachSanabria Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The Regional at Southridge wasn't canceled, and we had kids who placed in the top 4 and kids who didn't. So, am I only to take my kids who finished in the top 4, or am I to take all my kids who signed up for the Regional to State? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wrestlers that signed up for the tournament can wrestle at State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
