The "inside the game" link is kinda' hard to find - I've been looking off and on for a while to upload photos, and just determined I would find it tonight or give up completely. I hovered over the link by accident. Also, how does a photographer register - I can't find a link for that either......

Meribeth signed for a full scholarship to Freed Hardeman a couple of weeks ago. Eboni is still searching, I believe, but has had several schools to show interest.

Thanks macnarry - you're absolutely right. I'm pretty sure Coach Lott would NOT approve of the smack being laid down on this post. Both sides can and always will blame officiating for some of what happened during the game, and will always be at the mercy of the officials. We still have to be accountable for how we play the game, both on and off the court. The post was right about us losing momentum when Meribeth (#51) had to sit down because of foul trouble. The bottom line is, we'll have to come out and play all four quarters well Saturday, and not allow one quarter to be the deciding factor. Good luck Lady Bobcats!

First of all, there were closer to 3,000 people in the gym, but the number doesn't matter. What does matter is that our student section seemed to be intimidated by those around them. Secondly, you didn't START any tradition - you simply revived one that's been around for oh, only about 30 years, and although the student section is doing a great job this year, don't think that you invented anything new or necessarily do it better than students in the past. I DO appreciate the support the teams have received this year, although I also must say that until the Chester Co game I don't believe the section has been quite so vocal for our girls, and I'm sure our Lady Cats would agree with me. We spend a lot of time thinking of ways to get the crowd involved, and it's so much more fun for everyone when the student section cheers. It's just very disappointing that no one was willing to show any support when we most needed it. The student section was not completely scattered; at least 75-100 people were seated together, and although there were other schools represented in that section, it shouldn't have stopped anyone from cheering from their team. I saw people all over the balcony, standing side by side, wearing green and maroon alternately, and it sure didn't sound like any of those fans held back. The bottom line is we dropped the ball when it counted. I would hope the student section is present at each and every ballgame and shows support for both the Lady Cats and the Bobcats, and isn't ashamed to show their loyalty no matter who they're sitting with. I'll repeat a quote from a few weeks ago - "May your blood forever run blue and your heart beat gold" - Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat!

The Cats were down by 7 in the 4th quarter; the final score doesn't tell the whole story. Exactly the kind of answer I'd expect from a Lexington fan - no big words, just obnoxious crudeness.

I have to say Gardner should receive an Oscar nomination - he's very good with the 'here comes a charge' setup. MC just didn't seem to want it tonight, which is a shame because they could have so easily won if they had shown some heart. Speaking of, we have a student section we'd like to sell, though I doubt we'll have any takers. They were pretty worthless tonight when they could have energized the boys to get something done.
