First, sorry to hear the injury was a break. Never want to see that happen to any player. Hope it wasn't too severe a break and he can recover quickly. I wish him and his family the best and look forward to seeing him next season. Also, hope 5 is OK. He looked a little wobbley. Hopefully, just a good headache and he'll be ready to go next week.

It bugs the heck out of me to hear there is a bunch of crap going on on the field. I heard about some of it. Lot's of back and forths from both sides apparently. Aggravating and sad. I realize "taunting" is part of sports, but it should never be personal at this age. Our team/coaches don't condone that junk and, as I understand it, pulled one of our better recievers after a percieved slight and he got a little too verbal back.

Just so you know, I wasn't judging the Farnsley players, they played great, just making an observation on the "fans". In the two years we've played now, first time we've ran into that from the parents or fans of the other team. (and we've lost a few) I just thought it was unfortuante at this level. Still expect a "good game" from the other team, regardless of the score.

I've heard of rivalry chants and would expect it from a high schoold game, maybe a local team here in NKY where Ryle has a rivalry, but never been on the front end of new "rivlary" of a team we've never played or heard of before a couple weeks ago. Especially a rivalry started by the parents.

We've been excited and are a pretty vocal group to cheer our guys on, but I guess because our parents would never think to "rub it in", we just didn't expect it. I suspect if Farnsley had been on the recieving end, you might feel like I did. Maybe I'm touchy as we got knocked out.
