State Tournament Assignments

[Multiple Sports]

The whole patch issue really irks me.....In our state and I don't work hs anymore, you are given one at the state semis and finals. I have two. I used a Velcro patch ( not to ruin the shirt) and after my game my patch went as deep in my junk drawer in my kitchen as possible. It is amazing the number of people I saw the following year wearing their patch at high school games.

Now as far as the NCAA patch...these stories will make you cringe.

1 - I know of someone who would walk into the locker room open up his bag so you could all his patches attached to the underside of his bag and then walk out and leave his bag like that for all to see

2 - I was fortunate to work a college conference tournament game, this guy attached his blue NCAA patch to his winter coat right over his chest so when he walked into the gym everybody knew he was in charge.


Moral of the story....use the patch in that game. Put the patch far far away or make a Christmas ornament out of it....

I have now left my soapbox.....
