Isn't Thomas going to state with SKY?

I just wanted to state that I truly enjoyed the State Tournament last year and thought everyone did a wonderful job putting it together. I thought it was a very positive environment...busy (what tournament wouldn't be with that many wrestlers involved), but very enjoyable. I loved the music and watching the dancing Refs...they were great and kept the kids entertained the whole day. We have to remember that this is a Youth Tournament and shouldn't be taken so seriously that you lose sight of that fact...it's about letting the kids have fun and learn to love this sport. If you make it too serious it turns into a bootcamp environment and the kids will get burned out too quickly and never truly have a chance to enjoy and love it. My only suggestion for this year would be to continue to keep it upbeat for the kids and the spectators. We know it will run long...there really isn't a way to keep that from happening. Therefore make it fun while it lasts. :-D We at SKY appreciate everything everyone is doing and has done to make the State Tourament for Youth happen. I couldn't even imagine the headache it is to put on a Tourament of that magnitude. Good Luck to all wrestlers...see you on the 20th (or 19th if you'll also we watching HS)!

Thanks! We truly appreciate the positive feedback. It was our first time hosting a tournament and are very excited to have such wonderful support. Richard Conrad really put his heart and soul into this tournament as well as our team and I just can't thank him enough for all he's done. We should also thank Adam at Summit View for all his encouragement, help, and support. We couldn't have done it without you or the support of the Summit View Athletic Dept staff.

I hope so too! :-D

ukmike22000: I am so glad to hear that he is doing good and was released so quickly. I was so worried about him. Take care & we'll see you next season! I also agree that Campbell County did a WONDERFUL job running this tournament & I really enjoyed the fun environment they created with the lights, announcers, music, & dancing refs. :-D It was great!

Does anyone know how the boy from Conner is doing? I sure hope he's okay. I can't get him off my mind...seeing him carried of on the gurney. Bless him and his family!
