Thanks to everyone who helped put on the state tournament. This is only my 6th year going to it (a mere rookie compared to a lot of you) but I thought it was the best ran for all of the reasons mentioned above.
The coaches pass concept we implemented this year was GREAT!!!!! Do not change it! Heck, I saw Ned on Friday night and he was actually smiling, didn't see any grown adults grovelling and begging for coaches passes, etc.
I think there was 2 main changes that caused the floor clutter to be reduced this year....
1. The coaches pass policy. It seemed coaches would come to the floor, coach and then head back to the stands or out to the pavillion.
2. Great idea changing the location of the head table. It was great to be able to access and leave the wrestling are into the pavillion. It also made the parade a lot easier. GREAT IDEA and please keep it that way! (Ned I think this was your idea....great idea!!!!)
Thanks again to everyone who helped make this a great event for all of our kids!
