I don't see the big deal with Heights hosting the City tournament. We have 2 gyms and 3 good mats and 1 ok mat. I don't know of to many schools that have that. Give me the name of one other AD in the city that would want to host it. Some of you out there in the general public may not know what goes into host this tournament. Seeding meeting, setting up the gyms after a varsity basketball game, being early to let teams in to check weight, managing the tourney, setting up the hospitality room, putting out fires (not literally), handeling officials, wrestlers, coaches, fans, and tearing down after the tourney. On Friday we left the building at 12:00. Back up here at 6:00 am. We didn't leave till 9:00 pm which was pretty good for tear down. Its tuff work but I thought the tourney ran realy smooth. It did get started about 10 or 15 min late. There was some question as to whether or not we were going to be able to have the JV finals up in the big gym but things worked out and we were. Let me tell you its hard work putting on the city tourney. I don't know of to many AD's that would want such a big reposnibility.
