I need to go find that 9th Region thread where I said Matt was a lock and found nothing but disagreements.  ?

Congrats Matt, you earned it, good luck the rest of the way!

Additionally, congrats to all of the state's Coaches of the Year, that is a huge honor.  Congrats as well to your staffs, your administrators, your players, and your familiies...no one wins these awards in a vacuum.  

Congrats to Coach Otte. Conner had a great year and he did a great job! The 9th region tournament is going to be a lot of fun.
