[CoachBlair]

The 2005 G. P. West/Bruin Invitational will be held this Friday and Saturday at Brentwood High School. Wrestling will begin at 6:00 pm on Friday and 9:30 am on Saturday.

Friday we will wrestle the varisty tournament through the quarters and any pigtail consellations. Saturday the semis will begin no earlier than 11:00 am. We will wrestle straight through to the medal matches which will begin around 6:00 pm.

The JV tournament will wrestle either through the quarters or to 9:30 pm, whichever comes first.

The Freshmen tournament should be able to complete the quarters on Friday.

[twittycanes]

Coach Blair, Is Lipscomb in this tourney?

That's interesting, it is on our schedule.

[twittycanes]

Coach Blair, Why did Lipscomb get uninvited? It is on our schedule & I was told you uninvited us. Is that true?

[delaWarr]

twittycanes, Isn't your question something you should take up with the coach of the team you support? I would imagine that a coach who is getting ready to pull off three tournaments in one weekend has his hands full right now.

Coach Blair,

We can't thank you enough for letting us be a part of this amazing tournament. There's going to be some fantastic competition there.

 

You guys want to think tough? Check this out. This tournament will feature teams ranked #2, #3, and #5. And the weight classes? From the latest rankings, here's who will be there this weekend, with rankings of hardest weight classes.

 

1st- (189) 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th

2nd- (130) 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th

3rd- (171) 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th

4th- (119) 1st, 3rd, and 4th

5th- (160) 2nd, 4th, and 6th

6th- (145) 2nd, 5th, and 6th

7th- (135) 1st and 2nd (and possibly Holliman)

8th- (140) 2nd and 3rd

9th- (112) 2nd and 4th

Coach Bray:

 

Add the following Kentucky ranked wrestlers from the Ft. Campbell Ky. team (based on the Kentucky Wrestling Coaches Assn. 12/23/04 poll ) to the 135 and 140 weights----------might bump them ahead of 145 and 160:

 

135---No. 6, Matt Mines

140---No. 2, Nate Johnson

 

Throw in the entire Mater Dei varsity----------only the JV came last year as I recall, and dominated that tournament. It would be interesting to see what state ranked wrestlers they will bring. If they have anyone ranked at 189 or 130, those two classes will be brutal.

 

Yeah, it has all the makings of a pretty tough tournament.

[bruin103]

i just went to the mater dei site and it had there best wrestlers at 145, 160 and 215

I was told our coach did everything he was supposed to do & that we were overlooked or just got uninvited. Not trying to stir anything up. I know Coach has his hands full. I just wanted to know why we are not in, thats all. Hope the tournament goes well.
