Thanks, Scott. I've been told that I have a face made for radio! Craig Cassiday covered 6A, and I did the 5A. Obviously, neither of us are professionals, but I hope we contributed to the event. We were prepared to do the job a little different, but when we got to Hartman they changed our directives. And once again, I'm sorry for butchering some of the names.

Because the banners were not available, they told us to try to do more "play by play." Next year, I'd bet we'll have the score and time on screen, like they did on other state coverages. Of course, that will mean the use of Track Wrestling. I'm not in the know on this, but I have a pretty good suspicion that it will happen.

Some other things we'll look at next year are:
* Getting wrestler bios before the tournament
* Having better "cheat sheets" about team information. We only knew about doing this for about a week, so time didn't allow for the kind of research I'd normally do. I didn't have access to pronunciations, or other team information. As the event went on, we did learn that Cindy (runs the bracket table) could give us different print outs that helped with match ups. She was a huge help!
* More interviews, because if the scores and times are displayed we won't have to spend near as much time and energy doing that.

Finally, I really appreciate how KSHSAA set up this opportunity. There were over 130,000 "hits" on the site. I believe the state series will only continue to improve as a fan friendly event.
