It seems as if the voters dont even get it right because they take district results and vote before the state (the only thing that matters.) Therefore, the Central District can't even put their best foot forward (which is better than most give them credit for) on that Saturday sports page every year.
We do the vote before State strictly because the Discrap says we have to or they wont run it.

So...this OCC/MSL post season dual challenge.
How about 2 teams from each conference. Give the kids +5 or so from the regular season weights. Wrestle both duals and take a cumulative team score. Use the gate money for something special...charity, scholarship, etc. Concession stand goes to host school (probably the Port, they host everything).
Have the event a couple weeks after the season ends.
What do we think Chatterers?

MSL team this year may look something like this:
103 - ?
112 - Price (LH), Regoli (BC), Branham (WJ)
119 - Knul (CV), Feucht (WJ), Parsons (LV)
125 - Ankrom (BC), Hutchins (CW)
130 - Boswell (CW), Reichle (WJ)
135 - Dunlap (LH), Davis (CV), Ratcliff (WJ)
140 - Luft (TV), Maynard (LH)
145 - ?
152 - Barlowe (H), Gibson (BC)
160 - Prather (WJ), Robinson (H)
171 - King (LW), Leidecker (TV), Clark (WH)
189 - Harble (LV), Kent (GV), Fultz (WJ)
215 - Redman (LV), Drumm (H), Satterthwaite (GH)
285 - Pressley (CW), Settles (HT), Willis (GV)
Im sure there would be some movement due to kids being able to eat all they want next week...but this still makes a pretty sollid lineup.

No kid that has been cutting this season will do this...the only thing they're going to be doing after state for a while is eating!!!!!

Two things:
#1 - If that's your line up, ksig, retreat. ... NOW!!!The OCC will bury you with our water boys!!!
#2 - funkem: It's a deal. All proceeds will buy pizza to be eaten AFTER the match. ...and it's just that simple!
Admission is $4 for adults, 28 kids per league, let's go 25 for easy math... At this pace we might be able to go $3 at the door, but anywho...

Thats why we give them +5 and they arent locked into their state weight classes if they dont want to be.

28 kids, average 2 family per kid
56 x 4 = $224
Figure we would draw another 300 spectators (probably more)
300 x 4 = $1200
Total $1424...Pay 2 refs, not many other expenses than that...leaves at least $1000 for charity/Scholarship. Maybe a $500 scholarship for an OCC kid and an MSL kid each.

60/40 split on the scholly. The kid on the winning league of the dual taking in the larger portion. (Kind of like the winner of baseball's All-Star game. It is still that way, right? WInner of the AS game, that league has home field advantage for the World Series???)

Kid cant help if his team isnt as good. Also...us MSLers are underdogs against the mighty OCC every year. I'd rather it be an even split.
So...do we need to start contacting coaches or what?

Good idea, but kids gain weight after they are done. Branham is now 136, Ratcliff 160 and Fultz 210.

Could Branham get to 130 and wrestle "125"? Ratcliff to 157? Not every kid on that list has to wrestle in this either.
Years ago, Bart Friedenburg put something like this together in the summer when he had all-stars from all over the state compete on 4 teams. If he was able to do that over the summer from the whole state, why cant we get this done?
Maybe we could even eventually expand it to include the MOAC and other leagues...maybe a 4th "league" that includes several of the smaller leagues.

In Stark County, we did our all-star event after the post season. It was a blast. I think we did +7, because I know I made "135". Coaches used All-County selections as a guide, but really just matched people who everyone wanted to see wrestle. Ken Lacure and I wrestled because we hadn't during the year (for record, I jumped out early, then fell victim to that Lacure tilt). They did and East vs. West and all that was on the line was pride. Everyone had a blast and very little sctratches!
Why the heck do we do ours in pre-season?

This would be a blast if it were actually real!! If so the real question would be what do the wrestlers think and would they show?

This would be great and I hope it happens but not to change the topic I wish we could go back to a all Mid-State league Championship and the same with the OCC talk about two great Central Ohio tourneys sure would be fun to watch!

Sounds reasonable to me when you cut that much weight you let lose in the end and you r body takes in everything it can get

I guess the point is don't cut so much weight.
