I would like to ask for your support. In my opinion most can live with and understand several challenges with ticketing; fees, assigned seating, etc.
What is not acceptable is the chance that any wrestler making a state finals appearance  may not have a ticket for someone special. 448 (2 per kid) tickets is not enough. The IHSAA is standing firm that everyone has the same chance to get a ticket, that sounds fair but we all know there will be someone special or supportive of a wrestler that will not be able to purchase before selling out. If ten tickets were given per kid that is 2240 tickets. There may be a kid needing 12, 15, or even 20+ but I am sure we can agree that two is not enough. The IHSAA has told me that there are about 4000 tickets needed for this event for all the folks involved. This number includes the 448 participant "family" tickets as well as 196 tickets for the 98 (2 per) participating schools. If the venue has a capacity of roughly 9600, that would leave 4600 tickets for general public to fight over. As the wrestling community would be very disappointed if the number of general tickets was 4000, it would not be half as disappointing than if a wrestler who has trained and dreamed for years of his or her participation and to find out their special person may not be able to attend. 
Think of all the examples: A few come to mind, grandparents, we all know a kid that has multiple parents, step parents, maybe an important aunt uncle sibling training partner club coach etc. At two the kid has to choose at 6,8 or 10 the kid's support group will not be left to chance. 
I was told tonight that the IHSAA has a 19 member board and that the IHSAA oranization would change this rule if this group agreed. 
My suggestion:
We need support from 98 schools or more. Possible Indiana Mat could help with the administration of a polite list of supporters. Please do not add other arguments, this is only about allowing a family (whomever that might mean to a kid) to have the ability to support their wrestler.
Remember waiting in a cue to select tickets last year and being at 350 on the list. Not fair to that special person.These special people do not need the stress and anxiety. I dont think this would crush overall attendance. How would it hurt.
Please understand the IHSAA has a tall task on this and all events. In my opinion they are missing a priority with this decision. Currently, they do not agree. This argument should be shared now by the mass not after the weekend by a few folks that were unable to attend. They will just be told that it will not be a problem next year back at gainsbridge.
Thanks for your time in reading this lengthy post.

That's my job, if you want to call out kids and act like an idiot it won't be a voluntary break.

We are very proud of our new facility (2021). It is on the second floor directly above several locker rooms, training room, and weight room. Huge storage room on the end capable of holding about 8 mats. Currently also houses coaches office, mop sink, meeting area and lockers. A few cardio pieces, small track, benches, timers, incredible sound system. Curtains to divide youth practices. Basically four full size mats. HVAC system is on BMS allowing detailed control of room temp, timing etc. Lots of natural light. We could not be happier given our school size.
