There definitely was more energy at the 4A tournament than in past years. I think some of that can be contributed to the team race not being completely decided until late as well as the announcers and their enthusiasm. The announcers did an amazing job all weekend introducing the wrestlers, and letting the fans know when and where the marque match ups were taking place and giving the fans some detail on the wrestlers and their past state placings. The music selection and the decibel levels added to the excitement as well. I didn't know the sound system there was as good as it was. Best State tournament I've been too!

I will say however, showcasing the finals under the lights is a pretty special experience that I personally don't want to get away from.
