I would like to commend those schools who are hosting regionals this weekend. It takes a lot of work and coordination to host a regional wrestling tournament. I would also like to thank those who are putting their regionals on-line and Holton and specifically Mr. Phillips for assiting in the online posting process. However, I do not think it is necessary or even expected to put the regionals online, we should be thankful for those who are, but do not berate those who are not. Many people do not have the technological expertise to feel comfortable to do that, regardless of how easy the process is. It is possibly this attitude of entitlement that causes many possible sites and administrators to not apply for the chance to host a regional. The fact that hosting a good tournament is not enough for many, that the state community must be satisfied with their need for instant results and can't wait to read the results in the paper on Sunday.

Good luck this weekend to all and thanks for all those who are hosting the regionals.


Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn- and most do.
