As a long time fan of wrestling who has attended many state tournaments in Wichita I have a few thoughts.
I agree with most of the positive thougts by the others. Out early, more rest for wrestlers and fans. Prices very reasonable at concessions and clean bathrooms.
The pagentry of the opening ceremonies was sorely missed. It is a spine tingling event to march out representing your town in front of thousands of people knowing that you are with all the other BEST WRESTLERS in the state. It felt like we were at a regular tourney. Talk up the wrestlers tell their records more often etc. Also missed was getting to see all the other wrestlers that you know from watching and supporting them over the years!
All in all the tourney was run smoothly and efficiently. Remember make it special it is state.
Oh, help the refs watch the clock!!!
