As a parent from SD, I agree that the girls should have gone on the field when RB received their trophy. But you need to know that they didn't mean anything against Red Bank, they were just upset about their after game meeting that was brief and to the point.
Some of the girls went on the field and congratulated the RB girls after the trophies were already handed out. Most of these girls have played summer ball together and are friends. I heard a lot of them say they were happy for Red Bank to win if they couldn't be the winners. At least the trophy stayed in Chattanooga.
I also agree that the air horns were a little obnoxious, but they were purchased for the second Beech game because the girls wanted their fans to help keep them pumped up. They asked the same for the Red Bank game. I don't think the air horns are any more obnoxious than bottles with rocks in them and certainly not as obnoxious as fans yelling hurtful remarks to the other teams players. (This did not happen at the RB or Beech game, I have just seen it a lot this year).
Congratulations to Red Bank and all of the other winners, and to the teams that made it to the state finals but didn't win it all. They should be proud of their accompishment. Not many teams are able to make it to state at all. thumb
