    Evansville North Took The Regional From Castle--How Did It Go?

    The lower-level of North’s gym is not of an optimal angle for viewing wrestling.  To worsen the matter, table help and folks milling around interrupt the view.  If you go the upper tier, there is still vision obstruction and you are VERY far away from the action.

    Castle’s gym is far superior; there are no bad seats.

    The table help struggled during the first round, but worked out the kinks as the day progressed.

    I’m not sure what was up with the loooooong break at the end of the first round.  BTW- If you are at the end of your life, I suppose listening to U2 ballads and “Something in the Air” by Phil Collins is good to listen to while you are waiting for the morphine to kick in.  To keep the adrenaline pumping for a high stakes wrestling match—not so much.

    Down a flight of stairs, across the gym, down another flight of stairs and a 2-minute walk and you are in the restroom!  Check that, you are not!  You are in a line to use a restroom that was overwhelmed, filthy and smelled as if Satan had died there.

    I have been to Castle for many, many tournaments.  Never have I waited in line, nor were the facilities in disrepair.

    The only saving grace was the North volunteers.  All of the folks I encountered were friendly and there to help. 

    Weighing all factors, North is a pale comparison to a Castle-hosted event.  Castle gets an “A”; North gets a “D+”.

    Thank you, IHSAA, for diminishing our regional.

    Calm down John
