Great post Blue Chipper!! BMS is still having some growing pains I think due to the fact that all the feeder schools used to have teams and all the kids got to play whether they could play or not...it's not like that now...there is competition for each position...some people still haven't gotten used to this.

LOL OMG Thats a joke. Ok I'm a Belfry fan and always have been and usually a defender of Belfry all the way, but this post is ridiculas. Makes me wonder how much history you have on the feeder schools. I can't believe you said that as truth/fact. There used to be 6 feeder schools, then we went down to 4 and sometimes 3 if Blackberry didn't have a team. Had to start bringing Phelps and other schools in just to have enough teams to play and make a tourney when we used to have our own 6 teams. First of all theres no doubt in my mind that out of 4 to 6 schools, say 8 to 20 on a team, we had more than 5 good ball players because thats basically what your saying like there was no talent.Quote: all the feeder schools used to have teams and all the kids got to play whether they could play or not...it's not like that now...there is competition for each position LOL we used to have some good teams with usually too many on the benches. A lot of kids aren't even playing Basketball anymore. If they would keep these kids interrested BHS would have had more than 3 freshman players this year and it wont be no better next year. In the beginning all the kids were rotated really good, kept fresh kids in all the time, the other team didn't know what would happen and they did really good. There was even an old post on here by next that states that.

Second we have some real talent but you can talk to every parent and you'll get a different opinion from each one on who should do what because every mommy and daddy thinks lil Johnnny is # 1. You have that stuff at every school.

Third if you knew your facts you would know that out of the nine 8th graders...I think 5 of them (maybe 4 but Im thinking 5, theres 1 kid Im not sure about) were actual Belfry feeder students who have played and practiced and supported our area to work their way up to BMS and BHS. The other 4 or 5 arent even from the feeder schools, didn't bring their position from our feeder schools.

You also have some parents who refuse to stay in the principles office or in the coaches face in order to get playing time. Some parents have no shame. I have girls but I know my kids and Ive heard from others, would be soooo embarresed to think they only did what they did because daddy or mommy always through a tantram.
