I'll go ahead and answer.My son was sick that night too.I knew it was some kind of flu but never thought about it being that.You guys were sick as crap but played anyway.I knew it was going to be a long night when my Indian had his hands on his hips at the first of the game going against a future D1 player.Also the sky's opened up.I thought it was the most fantastic show of guts I'd ever seen but not everyone agreed .One coach said the team gave up.I 100% disagree to this day.

Indian2424 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 yes we went there witha record of 1-4 and won pretty easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian2424 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 and we didnt give up, we were just overmatched, we had a mix of our jv team with a few starters out there, just came down to a super young team that wasnt ready to roll that year, we lost alot of close games that year that couldve went our way, it paid dividends after we had the experience for the next 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBKPT93 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Absolutely positively certain that Boone, as the kids these days would say, “didn’t want that smoke” Saw a quick out and took it. Shows a lot about the backbone of the AD and HC over there. And yes if you can’t tell I’m just a little bit irritated about the game being cancelled. It would be different if the team didn’t go through the correct channels to make sure we did the right thing, but for Boone’s statement to make it seem like DB doesn’t care about their students safety is absolutely ridiculous and makes me mad.

I can't speak for Boone administration but Boone fans are bummed out over this as well. Yeah of course we knew we were going to lose but you still get out there and play the game for 48 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made it seem like DB doesn’t care about safety of our kids, when they went through all of the correct channels and were given the go ahead from SCHD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows cancelled on schedule per State guidelines . If Covid was a factor , Covid loss / Win would be listed ! The safety precautions were taken , guidelines met , Play Ball .... That Simple !!

Oh well, off to Jeff Co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
