We need to stop complaining about where the tournament is and how many numbers there are signed up. The numbers will be there, in every tournament all summer numbers are down until the day before and then everyone signs up last minute. I know many people that will be doing this regardless of the worry that the numbers will be low. We need to ,as a state, make sure that the kids in our clubs and high schools are attending and not going else where. I know there are a number of kids thinking about going to Northern Plains instead of state. And in some cases I know that those boys should go there to get the better competition so they can get on track for becoming Fargo All-Americans. I know that there are multiple graduations going on and we can’t do anything about that other than have it another weekend. How many different weekends have we tried over the years and all we is get is complaining from one half of the state, we make it two days again and we hear complaining from the other half. We have it in Eastern Kansas and one half of the state is mad. If it is in the middle or west of the state then the eastern half is mad. Just do our job as coaches, parents and mentors and get our kids to compete and go win that state title. Come on Kansas, stop complaining and get kids there!!!
