Thanks for your input,

I don't know how things are done in your neck of the woods, so to speak, but many times what you do on the court is not as important as what you do off of the court at these type tournaments. Dress professionally all the time, avoid any negative comments on calls made in any game, be supportive of all of the officials, offer helpful suggestions when others seek them, and keep a positive attitude the entire time. Even if you are "cut" early in this year's tournament, the impression that you make with these attributes make make it easier for the powers to be to bring you back in the future.

Congrats on the state tournament assignment. I can tell you from personal experience that you will never forget the honor of being there.
