Where were the trash bags?

Maybe I was at a different game last night. I saw a LOT of black & purple but no trash bags. I saw those kind of spirit towels with school logos flying around but no paper money.

There was taunting like you see at any game - some of it pretty amusing.

It started with things like North saying, ''Who is Schnieder?'' to at the end of the game Central saying, ''We LOVE Schneider!'' Also comments of, ''She's a freshman!'' were given right back to North as, ''She's a freshman!'' when Emilee #50 made some terrific plays.

It was a terrific high school basketball game - pretty close and it was a good thing that Central had the lead they did in the first half because in the second half Stevens got double teamed until they wore her out. The girls exhibited great sportsmanship and it was a game we could all be proud of.

I'll second that on Chuck Kemper. He's a straight shooter, and he knows how to run a school. I, too, would like to see what he could do with a school district.

fun game!

we saw a tremendous basketball team play on Friday. Good Luck to the tigers on Friday. They were clearly the better team and that Stevens girl is an awesome player! At one point, she had more points by herself than North did as a team.

From where I was sitting, I couldn't see trash bags or (pretend) money throwing... I heard some immature chants from each group, but hey, they're kids, right? Some were actually pretty clever.

The only poor sportmanship I saw in the stands (didn't see any on the court) was with a group of parents who were way too into the game, protesting most calls that went against their team, cheering obnoxiously, celebrating a little too much, etc...
