bruster6, I have to agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments. The problem is too many people are too hard-headed and think this is the "end all be all" of their lives. The state needs to think this over. Think of the Siruta family, who went through the pain no family should have to ever go through, losing a 7-year old child.

There will be other state tournaments. The vast majority of these kids will be back next year, the year after that and well beyond.
