The crowd noise was missing in Salina, but I think it was for a couple of different reasons. Firstly, the teams that seem to always travel well didn't have anybody in the finals. For example Clay Center had no finalists, so they weren't around for finals. Another reason is a lack of exciting matches. When there was an exciting match going on, the crowd definitely got into it and made plenty of noise. But there just didn't seem to be to terribly many of those this year.
