I had the enormous privilege of meeting Dave Voracek for the first time this weekend. Coaching with him was an absolute blast. Dave absolutely deserved this WFFA and really should have won it years ago! Congrats Dave, you have a lot to be proud of! You give young mentors like myself something to aspire to.

Congratulations to Brandon Padgett from team 16 for winning at the Arkansas Regional.

Brandon lost his dad suddenly this morning. Thankfully his parents were in attendance at Arkansas with his wife and kids when he won the WFFA. Please keep them all in your prayers.

[Coach Norm]

Congratulations to Brandon Padgett from team 16 for winning at the Arkansas Regional.

So very well deserved. Great mentor to so many of us. One I consider a mentor to FRC 2468 and myself.

So sorry to hear about his family loss.

Who won at Championships?

[Chris Fultz]

Lane Matheson, Team 932, is the 2014 CHP WFA.

[Taylor]

Based off what I heard from her introduction on Friday, she is a remarkable woman - it was mentioned she worked with the ISS and was Tulsa Teacher of the Year. Does anybody have additional information about Ms. Matheson?
