Will the Sheehan be there?

As I said I did not go so there is no way I could know the specifics of the other tournaments all I k SW was everyone said it was crowded and only had 3/4 mats and that doesn't sound like a state tournament to me , to bad about being allergic to dust SARS Mersa ringworm mat herpes and all that other funk Are usually the fear of most wrestlers and more mats probably cuts down on that "I don't know I'm just fishing " I actually liked All tech coming for Another state after seeing a lot of sate tournys I was pleased and happy for the state no one can down that facility it is something to be proud of I didn't see any dust storms my own sons didn't complain , they won jr high state in a horse arena up in oh and it was waaaaaayyyy dirtier and much more beat down and we loved it but it's memories that make some things better than they are we just never complained it cared they would wrestle outside but I'm sure they expect HS state to live up to their and everyone's expectations and All Tech for the most part was flawless maybe not as convenient and maybe a little dust but we liked it and had my own sons not been in the tourny and perhaps we had only been spectators I would still compliment the arena , When going to a tournament you go to wrestle and expect to do that in a proper setting if one of my kids said gosh we have to go 12 minutes away Or shucks there isn't a McDs close by or one of em said ooooohhh this place is dusty one or all of us would say quit being a pussy and making excuse are you a wrestler or a ballerina .now if your allergic that's one thing or if the mats are slick or dirt interferes with performance That's not good but I have seen worse places , Just saying I was impressed with it it was classy , Doesn't matter one way I the other just trying to be positive and help they could wrestle in the middle of a Metallica concert or in pig pen it doesn't matter Champions adapt and overcome to surroundings settings and any obstacle , hell yeah that's what wrestling is about .

I'd like to see the 6 mats being used during the semifinals with two mats of semifinals and the other 4 being wrestle backs. That would cut down the time of being at the arena until 10pm.
