She is a great girl. She lost her game today by one point. The big boy punched 3 of our girls in the faces and trampled one of our other girls throwing her an elbow to the back of the neck. Noone saw it during the game but the girls reported it. I went to his coach who took him out for about 2 minutes. We saw it later on video. He was very sly. Oh well! They played hard and they ALL handled it with grace.
The other girls team (two of my daughter’s friends) had their game stolen . They were up by 2 points. Last two seconds of the game and the other teams ball. The boy walks 3 1/2 steps before shooting at half court for a 3 point shot. They did not call his walk and it cost the girls the game. Everyone in the stands on both sides were perplexed. Even the other coach said it wasn’t right. But they handled it with grace as well.
The boys and their coach had their heads hung because they knew they didn’t really win it. It was sad for both teams. I really felt bad for their coach. This boys team played with alot of dignity though. They played hard but not like thugs.
Good life lesson. Life is not always fair. When it isn’t, you just hold your head up and do the right thing! All in all, 7 and 3 is a great season!
BTW...what the heck is a boy (and a moose of a one at that) doing on a team that plays against girls? These teams are co-ed?
