First of all, I would like to say that I am a parent and not a student. I graduated from McEwen, and my children are students there now. I am very proud of the season that our guys had this year. No, I am not proud of the way that it ended for us, but that is life. I was at the game last night, and "yes" the EH student section did chant "Baby" several times when our guy finally walked off to the bench after lying on the floor for what seemed like an "eternity" to a parent. I was praying that he was going to be able to get up and walk off the floor. Then when he did, and we all breathed a sigh of relief, EH starts their chant. At first, I was stunned, then I was just mad. What ever happened to clapping for the hurt player when he is able to get up and continue? I can't believe that you fail to see how rude and classless that is. As for the McEwen student kicking the cheerleader's car, your post was the first that I have heard of that. If it is true, I absolutely agree that ( to put it in a nice way), he needs his rear end kicked. What I hope that you realize, is that there is a bad apple in every bunch. You could ask any one of my children or any one who knows me and they would tell you that if I ever heard one of my children behaving in that way, they would not be able to sit down today or this time next week. We try to teach our kids to have respect for one another and for other people's property. We are very very proud of our team. Daniel Puckett is not a 9 point wonder (like one of the EH fans said). Look at his stats and you will know. There is a reason why he was nominated "Mr. Basketball" and you know it. He is a great guy and a great basketball player. We were just out gunned last night. I don't understand why it is that some people think that just because we are from a small town and choose to raise our families in rural areas that we are "rednecks" or "hicks". Do you not think that some of us also have college degrees and own our own business? Did it ever occur to you that we some of the McEwen parents and fans are also doctors, nurses, engineers, etc? You say that we should not be so sensitive, but I tell you, that is a little hard to do when we read your posts. We are very very proud of our kids. Just because we do not have the kind of money that you have and are not able to send our children to a private school, we feel that you look down on us. We may not have championship football team, or basketball team, but we are proud. I think that the number of people we have in the stands at our games should speak for itself. We will never have the high dollar facilities that the private schools have. We simply have kids that want to play sports because they love the game. They work very hard, and we are very proud of them. You may not think that your posts (especially State Champ 05) bite, but believe me they do. You have a lot of growing up to do. I am sure that your mother would be so proud. You really should reread your posts and ask yourself if that is really the way that someone who attends a Christian school wants to come across to others. If you are really truthful with yourself, I think that you would agree that it is not.

thumb I could not have said it better myself. We had a great win last night, but we have got to be ready to play every single second of every quarter tonight. There is not doubt in my mind that if we have our heads in this game and come to play and be determined not to come home empty handed, we will succeed. We have come up empty handed for the last two years after being so close. We know how bad that hurts and how many times we have said, "Could have, would have, should have." Tonight is the night to make up for it. How bad do we want it Warriors? I know you will all come out fired up tonight. I too will be in the stands cheering you on. Remember when you are out there on that floor, you aren't just playing for yourselves. You are playing for all the people in the stands, for all the people in your school, and for all the people in your town. Make us proud. I know that you will. GO BIG RED!!!

I think it is a shame too. We haven't played one another in sports since I was in first or second grade. (Believe me, that was a long time ago). Ha! We have scrimmaged them a lot, and even play them in softball, baseball, and volleyball. But football and basketball have been off the schedule for quite a while now. I think the rivalry between the two schools is a heathly one. I think that both teams would have definitely benefit by playing one another this year in basketball. McEwen could have dropped a weaker team like Big Sandy and played Waverly instead. I agree it is an exciting time for us in Humphreys County, and we are pulling for those to our west as well. Good luck Waverly. Go Warriors!!!!! thumb

Does anyone know if tonight's games will be cancelled because of the weather? We do not have any snow or ice west of Nashville, but most all of the school systems are closed East of us. That includes DCA where our tournament is being held. If they cancel, would all of the games move ahead a day? Thanks for any replies from anyone with info. Go Warriors!! thumb

I saw the game on Tuesday night. It was the best that McEwen has played all year long. They boarded the bus in McEwen with one thing on their minds and it really showed when they took the floor. They showed absolute class and determination with every single play. Whatever our guys did on Tuesday before and during that game should be bottled up and sold. It was really great. Daniel Puckett is a great player and he showed it. He showed true leadership on the floor. But I also have to say that he alone did not beat CPA. Just look at the points, the assists, the rebounds from the other guys. They were all just awesome on Tuesday. I hope our guys take note of everything they did before, during and after that game and copy it from here on out. I also would like to say that I am a huge Warrior fan, but the arguing back and forth on here is so silly. McEwen flat out lost that game to Heritage on Friday night. In my opinion, our guys did not have their heads or hearts in that game. I don't know what happened, but they were no where near the team that they were on Tuesday night. It was a shame, but I know that they must have learned from it. CPA did show true class on Tuesday, as did McEwen. What a game!! Let's do it again BIG RED!!!! We are so proud of you guys. GO BIG RED!!
