GCHS Support (or lack thereof)

[mreverything]

Thanks coacht for the answer. The big reason alot of people don't come to ball games is because of the few times last year when you had to get there at 5:00 just to get a seat. I know its not like that this year but the gym is so small and parking is terrible. Sometimes its a big hassle to go to the good games because of these problems. Maybe a new gym would help things for everyone.

No, Mrs Braden and Co. are trying to make us a little a factor as possible. They tell us where we can/can not stand or what we can/can not say. Last year, she imposed a ban on all signs at basketball games, because that idiot from Lincoln Co. came over and stole our sign. She should be focused on the game and supporting our team, not what's going on in the stands. We're young adults, treat us like them.

 

And on another note, I love how my name is mentioned around school by all the teachers. Guess I'm doing something right. And before anyone gets smart, just because my username is wneely doesn't mean it's me doing the posting. A username is nothing more than a string of alphanumeric characters on a computer screen.

 

Imagine the visiting boys team walking to their bench and seeing a 100 plus member student section just standing there, waiting on them to come sit down. Pretty intimidating, but I guess we'd just rather get lucky by talent and coaching than win the intangibles battle.

Giles County? A new gym? Are you serious? Never in a million years. Maybe when I get my multimillion dollar deal from ESPN, I'll splurge a couple thou on some new facilities, but in the mean time, GC will struggle to get wins. It's absoleutly amazing how much talent has passed through the school system, yet how few state championships we have.

wneely, your insight of GCHS is very informative. I reside in Giles County, but am not a Bobcat fan. Although from time to time I will catch a GC basketball game just to see some pretty good ball. I know your a student and I think that you state your comments (whether positive or constructive), there always in a respectfull manner. The school spirit that you have is evident and should be followed by others. I believe it is what High School is all about.

Don't let a one horse town bring down the spirit that you have. And don't worry it's not a crime to "show your colors".

Keep up the cheering Wade, Rebels Rule. I'm a little upset that you're not going to be able to come to the game tonight but you need that cash. I'm sure the rest of the Broom Crew will hold it down for you.

haha GCHS05, i know who you are talking about

[wneely]

Yeah, I don't care what people think about me, in all honesty. So if people think I am dumb for supporting our athletic department, then that's great. I went to just about every football game this year as a stat keeper, and sure I wish we could have had some more wins, but I had alot of fun.

 

I may seem like a nerd or geek, but I'll be the one driving the plush cars while everyone else is stuck in Pulaski. (No offense), but I hope I live in Bristol, CT when I grow up. For those of you who don't know, that's where ESPN's headquarters is located.

I coulda counted the fans for giles tonite on one hand

Point proven. Although its a huge drive, I was going to make the trip until I found out I had to work. I see the GCHS students are popular in Lewis Co, but the team took care of business without us.
