<p>There is a always a "Post Event Process" for me when it comes to organizing everything. The three day events like a qualifier can be a little rough. The head is still ringing from the whistles and screams. I am able to organized photos and names while getting a couple Facebook albums out and putting the names next to the numbers from the "Notes App". </p>

<p>This past weekend at the Windy City National Qualifier I was trying to see a lot of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin - especially the new names from the 15s and 16s. This is always an exciting part about what I do is getting a chance to see exceptional athletes compete for the first time. Welcome Class of 2028! I will write down the court number, team, and jersey number with some notes about the athlete. This could be a consistently strong performance, a standout play, a strength in a certain skill, or sometimes I write about the intangibles in how they are communicating on the court and celebrating their teammates. Here are some quick names to know from 15 Open and USA of my "Tri State" athletes from Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. </p>
