Hitops

I think I know who you are referiing to, and i started watching the matchup between the two. I agree that one got a little heated early, however the other player was gettin away with a lot of pushing and shoving down low as well. I agree the refs are letting them play which is good in a way, however when a player is pushing and shoving and grabbing jersies as much as i saw last night. The refs need to watch a little closer to keep the tempers from gettimng out of control. The Grace girl had definitely lost her temper, however after watching a little closer the Meigs girl was being overly agressive.

It was a good game. Both teams left it all on the court. I was impressed by both teams. If they meet again in the tournament it should be fun to watch. 02BBALL, were you there? There were too many orange shirts to say hello to all. If meigs is your team they are good. They did impress. The grace girls were also good though. Should be a great district tourney. Who wins between tellico and meigs though.

HAHA!! Using the word waxed in describing my post shows your intelligence. I have never used that word in a post. You can't even keep your insults going to the right place. You just throw them out there because you hate everybody. Both teams will play hard tonight. Will see at the end of the night. I think I will wear orange too. Maybe we can be friends.

By the way the game last nite was closer than you think came down to the last minute. You must be one of the fans who never played the game but now thinks they are an expert.

Wow the hatred you have for grace is really amusing. What did that school do to you that was so horrible? It's 15-17 year old kids playing a game. Did some one at grace wrong you in some way? You have to slam them every time you can. I hope no one takes your parking space at Walmart you will hate them forever. After watching you post on here I am convinced that you aren't intelligent enough to figure out which shirt in your closet is orange. So I won't be looking for you at Meigs.

Well I just went to the tellico plains grace game. I can say this for sure. The tellico girls were not worried about private vs public. They out played grace tonite. Two good teams that as I understand it split this year. Should be a shoot out if they meet in the playoffs.

Well if you really believe that no one can change the way you feel. However, keep in mind that by blaming the privates for your losses or anything else. YOU are showing your players how to make excuses for their shortcomings. Instead, why don't you teach them a life lesson that life is not easy and there are lots of obstacles and road blocks in it. Making excuses and blaming others will never help you in any part of life. Most of these kids will never play college ball and a majority of them that do get to play on scholarship will not stay 4 years because it becomes a job and not a FUN game. And past that almost none will play WNBA. College coaches will not accept excuses they will look for the hard workers and players with true passion to become the best players. That is what we all need to teach these kids. This game is a life lesson. How to strive to be the best and overcome obstacles. This can and will stick with them for a lifetime. My time in sports in high school and college basketball taught me how to never give up. Fight to the end for what you want. I never won a championship in either high school or college. I have lots of trophies and medals and plaques that I won for district MVP and region tourney MVP, etc. they have been in a box in my garage for twenty five years. The real award that will always be with me is the life lessons I learned from my coaches and teammates. Show and teach the kids that not how to blame others or make excuses.

Thank you Kazam. 02BBALL just wants to blame private schools for his/her teams short comings. Because a kids parents decide to give a kid a different type of education does not make better athletes. I did send my kids to a private school from the time they were toddlers. I had no idea if they would be athletic or even care about sports. I sent them so they would be able to be taught the bible and be in that atmosphere. Both turned out to be good athletes and had to hear all the public school parents yell " I thought this was a christian school" every time they got aggressive. And hear that they had been recruited. If that was the case somebody at that private school was pretty good to see that in a three year old. I have read several posts from other districts and regions and I find no other posts from those districts or regions on why they can't win championships due to private schools. So I looked at records in those regions and they also have privates with good teams. I guess this region and or district would rather blame the privates than to work hard to get better. Oh well some people work hard and others sit back and watch.

02BBALL. This is exactly the kind of post I am talking about. Why SHOULD a private school be expected to win. Are you saying public teams are substandard. That is what it looks like from posts like this. Looking at records for these private schools they are not undefeated. Maybe who ever your team is is just not coached well or had a bad night. If I had a kid playing I would want them to be pushed by playing good teams. I would not sell my team short by blaming the fact that a private school won simply because they are a private school. There are plenty of really good public and private school teams.

Grace is 10-0 in the District and really playing good ball right now. Pauly P has them focused and determined to reach their goal. You Grace fans really get me. Your a private school playing in a public league and BRAGGING about beating them. RIDICULOUS. You should win, RIGHT. And by the way, the second Midway game was a lot closer than the score. So good luck I think you will need a little before the tourney is over. 1 Quote MultiQuote Report

Ridiculous YES!! But reading all these posts it seems to be true. Why should private only play private and public play public!! Why is it a big deal!!

This is what I am talking about

That's the most RIDICULOUS statement I've ever read. Ridiculous YES but reading the posts it seems to be true. So many people saying that private should play private and public should play public. Why????
