Craig Cassity and myself will again be the announcers for the upcoming state tournament, and I'd like to ask for some help to make the broadcast as entertaining and positive as possible. To do so, I'd ask that you provide me with any "feel good" stories that are a positive reflection on our athletes and sport. Some topics that I believe are valuable are:

Wrestlers that have overcome great obstacles
Wrestlers with parents overseas in our military
Family members that have also had great success
Funny tidbits about these athletes that may otherwise not be known
Future plans (college, military, etc)

Obviously, there are many other topics that I'd be interested in, as long as they are a positive reflection on the athletes and sport. I thank you in advance for your input. I also ask that you make sure the following are included:
Name, weight, classification, school.

Have a terrific final two and a half weeks of wrestling!

like if a certain wrestler is going to Major in Ballet and Interpretive Dance?

I still have your finals bio sheet, but you're not wrestling this year. I need some more current (and relevant) topics!

Oh I was just asking if those are the kinds of things you'll be looking for , I might be able to drop a few of those tidbits for a couple wrasslers

There is a story about our 195 Armoni Coppins in the wichita eagle. Its a pretty good story

Ryan, Here's a great story. Tell the one about the guy that announces at the state tourney and how he overcame a flatulence problem to become a wrestling announcer.




Boogers make good glue.

I may have sat beside him during a event one time....his battle with flatulence still rages....

I think I sent you a message, can you tell me if you got it? I also realized I left out some information that you asked for but if I need to resend all of it just let me know.

Great promotion for the sport!
