I think this year was the best in the four years that i have been involved with First. Well, except for that double cap at an off-season. All the extra playing time was incredible and walking around the state championship with a silly grin on my face after the selections. All i could think to myself and tell people was," My god, 65 was the last pick,65! This is going to be good." I do agree that there should be some way to get 12 matches at states. Two other things, Kettering needs to rent bigger stands and any team attending a third event should not get another 8 hour open bag time. They already are getting acouple of days at a reduced cost and i think it would even things up abit.
Just think that in four years, if they keep the districts, you might say,"Back in my time we only got 8 matches." and the kids will just look at you like you were crazy.
