You guys shouldn't make personal judgements on 8th grade KIDS. Whether they play bad or good in a game isn't fair to either of them. Girls are going to have up and down games. Be easy on them; we all have kids playing and you sure wouldn't want negative comments on here for your child to read. Nobody sets out 2 have a bad game.

This is so true. Kids this age tend to get down on themselves easily. It is just a game and as parents it is our job to say keep going, work hard and try to learn and win next time. All kids are doing a good job by just trying to play, and losing is hard enough without being dogged by adults giving negative feedback.
