Ill announce if they give me a ticket. I wonder why they wouldn't announce the matches? Its nice to know what weights and the kids names when watching online.

Yes, definitely need an announcer. Get a parent or administrator to at least give the basic information, weight class, wrestlers name, state champ, and so on.
