The Tigers just played a district rival in a game that will determine seeding in a district that has three very good teams 24 hours before, the next game is against Perry Central in the WYMT and someone is surprised they came out flat?

These kids are not going to get fired up to play Wayne County. Why should they? How many of them could name one player on the Cardinals? Rodney Woods means nothing to them.

Jackson County has two kids that played with them at Clay County and Perry Central has developed into a great rival. So they bombed in a sandwich game. It happens. Get over it...

I'm not posting to gripe on players or coaches but...

With all due respect, I beg to differ on a couple of points.

I understand that teams can fall into "trap" games every now and then. I just disagree when you seem to condone it when Clay County players "are not going to get fired up", especially when it's at home.

I also didn't know it was a requirement to know the names of the visiting teams players to be able to get "fired up".

If Rodney Woods and the nameless players at Wayne County "mean nothing" to Clay County Basketball, then by all means remove them from the schedule.

"Why should they?" you say. I have a better question...Why shouldn't they?
