spent last wednesday, thursday and friday taking a ferry over to bremerton with my good friend mike helt
he is gracious enough to come up and chief for most of my events. mike is having a hell of a year. he chiefed for ABS youth nationals, is going to be a setter for the big boys and girls at world cup in vail, and is also chiefing the SCS youth nationals in Atlanta at stone summit.
i have come to the realization that i really only like doing these when mike comes to help. he stays at my house and we get to spend man time together. he is a good friend and i trust him to make sure our events go off top notch.
i wanted to thank the folks in bremerton for making this event happen. notably Ross Halverson and Candace edmonston (sp?). they go way above and beyond for these things. i really am baffled by their dedication. i cant wait to steal them for our seattle gym ;)
candace was able to wrangle together 65 volunteers for this event. i am pretty sure that is unheard of. we didnt have to use any of the team parents from other teams or anything like that. the community out there in bremerton is amazing. thanks to all those involved.
hansen came out to set and is really coming along. bret as usual set some lines. i guess when you do this enough with the same great crew, it becomes like clockwork. we were on the 3 oclock ferry on friday. everything dialed.
the event went off great. no problems, a couple super finals that were easy to do. some setters think supers are a sign of bad setting. i disagree. i think they add a great element to the event. the kids love it, the parents love it.
our team won the regional championship again. ready for divisionals? im not sure, but we will find out soon enough.
