Well at least now I know that the reason MOST Elliott supporters had no class before Friday's game had nothing to do with the loss in the All-A. They are just as annoying and condescending in victory as they are in defeat. I am as die hard Valley as it gets and I can open my eyes ant see that these two teams could play 100 times and it would be close to 50-50. If a couple close calls go the other way on Friday night Valley is 2-0 against Elliott, but I can still see that they are even. 1 win for Valley, 1 win for Elliott, hard to be any more even that that.

Also, there is no way that I would trade the All-A state title for a loss to Holmes in the semi finals of the big show. That's just ridiculous. Competitive people love to win and its obvious that both Elliott's and Valley's players and respective fan bases are very competitive. I'm sorry but losing in the semi-finals is still losing. It felt good to know that SV eliminated all 125 schools that were playing for the All-A state crown. I guess I just see it this way: SV has huge trophy that says All-A STATE CHAMPIONS and Elliott didn't receive any hardware for the effort. I'm glad the Elliott fans say they wouldn't trade their final four trophy for the All-A State title, that would be a bad trade for us... we would be giving up a huge trophy and an All-A state title banner and we would be getting nothing. Does that sound like a good trade to you?

It sounds to me like Shelby Valley has a lot more at stake in this argument.
