  1. Any particular reason why you wouldn't want to see MJ in the finals? Seems like you'd want them lined up, since you've beaten them the last two meetings. Not that it matters now.
  2. I agree, nothing a coach can do after a certain age as far as developing mental toughness. Some seem to think they can, running kids relentlessly and showing girls how tough they can be but if kids don't already possess those qualities, it only results in thinning the roster. They just quit. Just because the coach makes them cry, doesn't make them mentally rough and tough when they come back for more. They're already tough, or they leave. It's like that quote concerning character, it don't develop it-just reveals it.
  3. Settle down Tide, we're talking about areas away from the floor. I have several friends with children in the system. Some are indifferent, but others talk all the time, and I'm just relaying the info. I don't care if schools choose to look the other way or not. It's not exactly the norm to sacrifice wins to teach life lessons. If I've offended anyone, I apologize. It's just hard to respect winning with kids that bully students, fail classes and fail to show respect to teachers. It's not just a problem with some schools, it's a problem with many. Nothing personal.
  4. The blonde post would have helped, but it was obvious Cason and the red head were sick as dogs last night. Siegel wasn't at full strength! I was at the game, saw Saturdays game with EO Coffman too and what was obvious to me was the dominance of Mt. Juliet's inside game. The guards kept Cason in check. It appeared she was in good health to begin the game. Sometimes 20 point leads have away of making things look different. I guess I would have been sick as a dog too from their perspective. Tournament time is tricky, best to leave excuses at home. Sycamore will be tough for MJ to handle, may be a guard override. MJ does seem to rise to the top in big games. If I knew the posts would play as well as they did against Siegel,I'd bet on the lady bears.They play harder than any team I've seenat the tournament. Only team I've seen all week, boys or girls, that RUN to their coach every time there's a timeout. Good luck MJ.
  5. sycamore is loaded, guards are great. be hard to beat this group, have to be a good team to stay close. are they all 8th graders?
  6. some things have changed in mj. grades, conduct in school. heard from a friend there is not a grade rule in middle ball, true? last year team was all the good guys, heard they retired thier numbers-don't know if that's all good but... wrong way to win and a right way. respect is not a sometimes thing. just a thought. need good people teaching kids to be good people more thasn winning games.
