Randy, tell your better half congrats and good luck. Might see you up there as Kevin is working the Boys Single-A D1 championship game in front of yours.
Follow-up: We lost in the finals 64-50 to a very good Floyd County team. I believe it was their third try in as many years. However, the experience was great and the three women officials that worked our game were some of the best I had witnessed in the tournament. I was keeping some stats on the bench to make myself useful and after running some figures discovered that 50% of all the teams that played in the tournament lost!

Actually, 87.5% of them did.

And you guys were part of only 25% that made it to the final day.
