[Scotty doesn't know]

I don't think any of SV's players or coaches came on here and said they would have won if they played. I know I never said anything like that, either. I think maybe a couple of posters may have said something to that effect, but they are being 'homers' just like some of the pro-Pikeville people on here. It's useless to speculate on what would've happened had Valley played and met up with Pikeville at some point in the tournament; we will simply never know.

What I objected to is calling Valley's team quitters. Like I said, I'm sure they had a good reason for not participating in the tournament, and I seriously doubt it was because they were afraid they would lose. Remember, it's a summer camp tournament, it's not all that important. If the players had obligations to the football team, if they were worn out, or if they had family vacations to get to, it doesn't matter. Not playing in the tournament still does not mean they quit.

I agree with you. Summer ball is not that important. I am sure that the Valley players and coaches do not feel as though they need to prove anything, especially during summer ball. Even if they did play summer ball and won some of the lil tournments across the region, all the JBS 'homers' (as you call them) would still be complaining about something. *Possible rant* "Blah blah blah, they should not be playing summer ball because they are just beating up on inferior competition." and since they didn't all you read on these board is "Valley is too scared to play summer ball with teams for around the area." I can figure out why this team can not get the respect that it deserves.
