Good luck. I enjoyed knowing when there was a big match or wrestlers squaring off that should be featured. Let the fans know . Maybe a little homework on who people are. I did hear the Derochers mentioned 10 or so times but hardly anyone else. The fans can be educated on who some of these kids are and their accomplishments. It’s not entirely your fault since WIAA decided to run so many tournaments compared to Ed’s days. But this year was scaled down to 4 rather than 6or 7 whatever it was last year. The announcing was excellent compared to the abysmal management and logistics of the event organizers. Why the finals matches were placed at the back of the dome rather than the mats closest to 90% of the seating befuddles me. I will say the floor event management was great and less confrontational than past years. Maybe the blue jackets they got to change into rather than those yellow had them in a better mood. Having kids at a dome at 6am.. to me, until 9 pm at night is rediculous. Weigh ins taking 40 minutes tells me a few more scales could be brought in. Total money grab from WIAA with little thought on student athlete welfare and focus. Should I go on? I was glad that the tent city CHAZ or CHOP imitation camps were cleaned up a bit after day 1. I love wrestling and seeing kids and a culminating event like State being a show. I thought it was pathetic, that being said I’ll be back until I’m in the grave because it’s about the kids and acknowledging their excellence. On another note, while close calls and judgement is part of all athletic events, the need to have so many refs due to over inflating the tourney(s), is pathetic. None of my athletes that was there directly to support lost a match they rightfully won because of officiating, but some did. Misjudgment is allowed, but when incompetence is the case because the literal bottom of the barrel is being scraped to find enough officials, that’s in the WIAA. It would be like putting me out there to ref football or basketball, I’d be out of my element. A clearly sad avoidable situation.
