Cleveland....STATE CHAMPS!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

I'm done...Good luck in the future.

As mentioned before, same to you. Congratulations to all the student athletes and coaches who participated in the tournament.

I can assure you there are no "sour grapes" here. Cleveland has good team, there is no disputing that. I sincerely congratulate them. LMS has lost a few games this season and never have we lost to team that had a few fans (notice not all CMS fans) that squalled out the things they did. And really the "mouthing" wasn't an issue until the fourth quarter when was making our only real run. I guess we should agree to disagree on the "only negative" of the game in your first paragraph.

 

It was an emotionally high game between two good teams. Bias/incompetent officiating?? We had players beat up pretty good too... And the foul count?? CMS pressed either full court or half court for the most of the game and your team was twice as aggressive, so you are defiantely going to get more fouls called. We only pressed in the fourth quarter. I will say that the post I think #25 only had four fouls and they had her for five. Not the refs fault...scorekeepers fault. And please, its another thread in itself, but any one outside of Cleveland that plays down there gets the shaft every time..Its worse than Memphis. So lets not hear about mistreated as you say.

 

Again Congratulations! You deserved it! BTW, I am not trying and it wasn't my intention to cast a cloud over all the fans and players..I gave my impression of a few.

Thanks for the backhanded congrats, but come on Daddy, get over it! We tried to be nice, but you wouldn??™t let it go. Let the girls and their families enjoy their championship and don??™t try to question their sportsmanship. CMS had more players to foul out in the Livingston semifinal game, than just about all of our other games in the season combined. What??™s wrong with this picture? Talk about frustrating??¦.You brought up the subject about getting the shaft, not the Cleveland folks so don??™t try to paint a picture that is obviously a figment of your biased imagination. We were happy to win and move on to the finals. There were no technicals, no intentional fouls, no fights, nobody escorted from the gym..??¦just hustle and teamwork. So unless you have some need take up for the guys with the whistles (who deserved a little constructive criticism in that game), why don??™t you move on? If not, here??™s a quote for you from one of my favorite philosophers of all time, Mike Ditka, ???What's the difference between a 3-week-old puppy and a sportswriter? In 6 weeks, the puppy will stop whining.???

By the way, thanks to the folks in Springfield for your excellent hospitality!

Congratulations to Cleveland. You beat a solid team in Macon Co.

 

I don't mind losing to good/better team, but again when fans and even some of the players are yelling out the things that was said, a person could lose respect for them. So I am comfortable with the side I sat on...

 

LMS girls: I am proud of you and your season. To Brooke and Lauren (our only 8th graders) we will miss you and wish you the best. To the rest, we will be back! I believe we can add to the trophy case our 10th TNT tourney championship next season.

Congrats also to Livingston and best of luck in the future!

Sory to hear that for Macon. I was pulling for Macon that they would beat Cleveland as we (LMS) had played both. Plus I was not impressed with Cleveland's attitude both players and fans. There were a few nice fans though. Cleveland has a good team no doubt, but you can win without the poor attitude and remarks made.

Way to go lady raiders! So proud of your effort and drive till the very end. Macon has a lot to be proud of. Excellent players and fan support. Sorry for the negative impression, guess that often depends on which side of the court that you a sitting on. Many of other schools in our state would have loved to have been in the same position that these two groups of young ladies were in last night. The championship was a great competitive game that was played out in a way that a championship game should be....close till the final buzzer.
