BLUEBLOODED, YOUR RIGHT I HAVE NOT MEET THE LEBANON COACH AND SHOULD NOT QUESTION HER COMMITMENT BUT I DO KNOW THAT MT. JULIET COACH OR TEAM SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED FOR LEBANON FOLDING THERE TEAM AFTER THEY PLAYED. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND IF A TEAM SCORES IN TRIPLE DIGITS WHY ITS LOOKED AT LIKE THEY ARE RUNNING UP THE SCORE. I QUESS IT DON'T LOOK AS BAD TO LOOSE 60 TO 10 AS IT DOES 100 TO 50. I DO AGREE IT IS NOT GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP TO TRY AND SHOW UP ANOTHER TEAM THAT YOU ARE MUCH BETTER THAN. I JUST FEEL THAT MT. JULIET HAS BEEN COACHED TO GIVE YOUR BEST EFFORT EVERY MINUTE YOU ARE ON THE FLOOR. THIS IS WHY THEY PLAY HARD THE ENTIRE GAME.

THEY WILL TELL THE OTHER TEAM GREAT GAME LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCE AND LOOK FOWARD TO THE NEXT GAME. THEY WILL NOT CRY AND WHINE ABOUT HOW BAD THEY GOT BEAT. DON'T THINK THAT ANY OF THESE GIRLS HAVE NOT BEEN ON BAD TEAMS IN THE PAST. BUT THEY DIDN'T QUIT THEY WORKED HARDER TO GET BETTER.

AFTER READING ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE MT. JULIET GIRLS FRESHMAN TEAM I WENT TO WATCH THEM PLAY SPRINGFIELD THURSDAY NIGHT. WHAT I SAW WAS A VERY GOOD BASKETBALL TEAM THAT IS VERY WELL COACHED AND PLAYS VERY HARD AND TOGETHER AS A TEAM. THEY DID PRESS THE FIRST QUARTER BUT PLAYED ZONE THE REST OF THE WAY. AT NO POINT DID I FEEL MT. JULIET WAS TRYING TO SHOW UP THE OTHER TEAM. I WAS DISSAPOINTED THAT THE COACH FOR SPRINGFIELD NEVER MADE ANY ADJUSTMENTS FOR HER TEAM. HER TEAM DID NOT GUARD OR PLAY HELP DEFENSE AT ALL. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE OTHER TEAMS AND COACHES THAT IS PLAYING MT. JULIET HAS NOT BEEN COACHED VERY WELL. THE FACT THAT LEBANON DISMANTLED THERE TEAM TELLS ME THEY DID NOT HAVE KIDS OR A COACH THAT WAS COMMITED TO PLAYING BASKETBALL. THE MT. JULIET FRESHMAN GIRLS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RUN A SLOW DOWN OFFENSE WHEN THEY HAVE A BIG LEAD. THEY SHOULD RUN THE OFFENSE THAT THE COACH HAS TAUGHT THEM AND THE OTHER TEAM SHOULD MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO STOP THEM. MAILMAN AND OTHERS WHO HAVE SAID MT. JULIET FRESHMAN GIRLS AND THE COACH HAVE NO CLASS BECAUSE THEY RUN THE SCORE UP ARE THE ONES WITH NO CLASS. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY NEED TO BE COACHING AT LEBANON.
