This game matters because the placement in the sub-state determines what pool you get placed in when they group teams in the state.  I've never known a championship game to be meaningless.  I would consider games meaningless when the outcome of the game has no barrings on how you get seeded in the playoffs or next round, which means you have clinched and can't do any better or worse. 

 

I have much respect for the talent at most all age levels within the Thunder organization especially 15 and up.  They have some top notch kids and really good parents.  The administration and some of their coaches are arrogant and it is starting to filter down to some really good players.  That was indicative in the fight that broke out in the tournament in Gallatin.  The Thunder staff have oftentimes talked degrading to parents and children inside and outside of the organization during this tournament that were trying to do nothing more than come and enjoy a good basketball game.  Congratulations to all of the Thunder players and those coaches that so respect for the game and the position that they are in.  Those others need to learn they have an obligation to the youth that play AAU sports to teach them more than just AAU basketball.

luvbug,Yea right.What ever you say.

Luvbug,It's sounds like sour grapes.The Thunder is a 1st class organization.My nephew has played for them a few years now.And I know they have helped to turn his life around.My sister is so happy that he is in this program. Luvbug,I know who you are as well as your other half.But thats about par for you guys.If thunder did anything wrong it was bringing you guys in.I ask them why did they do that,knowing the rep.you guys had.I had even been told that you guys had been ask not to even come back to some leagues.And the thunder told me they knew that,but everyone needs to get a 2nd chance.Well it did'nt work out.So just let it go.Why try to put thunder down when they tried to help you guys?AS for as the thunder,keep doing the positive things that you are doing.Do not even pay any mind to luvbug.Anytime you are doing something as good as you are doing,it will always be someone to try to tear down your program.You tried to him them and it did'nt work.But from what I know of you guys at the thunder, thats just like you.Always trying to help someone,being a player are a coach.I don't even know you guys name but I know that its three guys along with a few others that work very hard for free.I know your face but not your names.You know my face also but not my name.But I come to practice and I try not to be late when you have speakers.I think that is so great.Even I have learn some things from your speakers.Keep up the good work.And when tryouts come up I will let you know who I am.
