Just wanted to extend a commendation to Coach Jones and his Northmont crew, as well as editor Bob Kilner, for putting in the effort to housewrite this tournament and host a quality event. The questions were (in my opinion) accessible to teams of various skill levels, but the pyramidality of the set, as well as the subject matter covered, was strong enough to separate the wheat from the chaff. Kudos to Fisher for bringing home the championship and to Sidney for being right there with them!

Thanks Tyler, although let it be told that I did nothing to help with the set this year, mainly due to time constraints. This was all on David and his writers. Kudos for a job well done to the writing/editing/tournament staff.

And congrats to Miami Valley for their terrific showing in the JV. Tyler, you'll have a beastly good team in a couple of years as they enter high school!
