Bottom line, I like watching all of Washington's best hs athletes compete in the same place at the same time and seeing all my coaching friends in the same place at the same time.

I don't think everyone realizes how close we are to losing that and how much that will change everything else.

If the clarifications are separated there will be no way to have a kids state the day after the HS State tourney. That's the point of my original message. Instead of everyone dumping all their frustrations about this weekend so mat classic is cancelled we should be looking towards solving the problems.

Solving problems usually involves compromise not demands.
