Brad has worked hard for this, and we're very happy he's getting another chance to go to state. He wants to close out his career with another state championship. |
I believe we have the best chance of fixing deficiencies. Money is a problem, but big government is not the answer. |
It turned out to be the right project. |
It won't be an issue. The area we're modifying will have more breakout space, but I don't think it exceeds 1,000 feet. It's space we already have in the building, the public lobby area, which, in reality, we use now for breakouts and breakfast. |
It's going in the direction we want. We're getting kids in touch with professionals in the field. There are so many positives and positions in this area - it's all about the kids and showing them what it's all about and getting them that experience. That's education! |
Realistically, I would like to think that eight or nine kids could get to the sectional. If we have a good day, maybe we could get one or two more through. |
Saturday was a pretty good day for us. |
Scott came very close to winning the championship at 135. He had a big day for us. In the semifinals, he beat a kid who had beaten him by technical fall earlier this season. So he had a very big day. |
The key to it all is getting through the regional. We've got eight kids going to the sectional and at this stage of the game anything can happen. If you have a good day at the sectional, who knows? You could make it to state. |
The whole team wrestled well. |
The Zimmerman Design Group did the plans for it and spent time with the kids that was just phenomenal. |
They gladly went with the flow and took it for the experience it was. |
We have a pretty good shot at doing well at the regional on Saturday. We've wrestled strong competition all season, and that helps this time of the season. Realistically, I would like to think we can get eight or nine guys through, maybe even one or two more. |
We know clearly where the Hutchinson convention center is. In no way will we compete with the convention facility, or want to. We're doing room additions, adding double-bedded rooms, which are in great demand here, particularly for sporting activities. That's also the reason for the more spacious lobby area. |
We started planning last year, looking for a capstone project to encapsulate a bunch of different trades and fields to give the kids an awesome co-op experience. |
