MATS:            7:  5 mats will be used in the Main gym and 2 in the Aux Gym 

 

WEIGH-IN:    Weigh-Ins will be conducted at YOUR site Wednesday, Nov 15.  Scratch weights should be taken right after your practice. Whatever the wrestler’s weight is at the end of practice is the scratch weight.

 

 ***Because this is an early season scrimmage, we don’t want to focus on making weight.  Hence, the reason for scratch weigh-ins.  This also allows for teams to arrive later, for us to start earlier, and to speed up the event.  We expect weigh-ins to be conducted properly and wrestlers to try maintaining their scratch weight rather than trying to gain advantage by putting on weight.

 

Line-ups must be entered on Track Wrestling.  You will receive an email link.

Please indicate skill level 1-4 (Elite-1, Good-2, Fair-3, Beginner-4)
Email Dale Bradford at gdbradford@comcast.net if you don’t have a link.

 

BRACKETS:  Round Robins will be used for bracketing. Wrestlers will be grouped as best as possible according to skill level.  Please be as close/honest as possible when rating and weighing your wrestlers.   All matches will be three 1 minute periods.

 

COACHES  MEETING:     We will hold a coaches meeting Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m.    Hospitality room for Coaches and Referees ONLY!

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
