I guarantee I could do both. Pronounce names, give stats, rankings, and sound excited.
So much I am disappointed in at 4A. The officials are beginners at best. Have no idea on boundary lines, back points, stalling, just to name a few.
And it is like Nazi Germany in the venue. I had forgotten how bad the venue was.
I thought the officiating was pretty good overall. Out of bounds can be tough to call. Sometimes I think the whistle blows to fast. Stalling definitely needs to be called early in a match. Waiting til the last 20 seconds is pointless, and calling it early will make the last minute of a close match that much more exciting, and take the pressure off of the official too.
The venue does suck! I brought in a small camera bag and security had to search it.
My wife and I were talking on the way home. I'm sure you would like to go back up to 5a, but we sure hope you guys stay in 4a. Ark City definitely raises the bar!
