The 8 Count Audio Podcast

Feb 2 2024: IHSA State Vibes and Feels

Episode Summary

Putting the stats aside for the week, we run through our state weekend experiences: what we saw, felt, heard, and...what fried food we smelled! Two perspectives: one from Norm as a on-floor media member, and one from Coach Alli in her very last dance team coaching appearance in Illinois. Also a quick look at the top 3 in 2A and 3A (we're doing 1A, z-scores, stats, and Day 1 teams next episode). Plus a discussion on a couple hot topics from sectionals weekend--the qualifying / knock-out system, expanding the field, Norm's ideas on wild card qualifiers, and Norm's idea of a Penalty Bulletin! Also, a baby announcement!
