First off, let me say I have not bashed anyone on here. All I said in a post was that Dylan Meade could outscore a team on his own when he gets going, which he did in his very first game. I just wanted to make that known. Also, I have not bashed anyone's father for anything. I have not said a ill word toward anyone. All of my posts have been directed toward what I thought of Mullins, who I thought were the best players in the county and the best teams in the county. The only time I have ventured away from those three subjects was asking why Feds Creek had to run up the score against Millard, which I did so in a classy manor, not in a way which would ridicule or attack a person's character. If you do not believe this, read the second post I made on that thread.

As for what Saratoga said, the kind words mean a lot to the Coaches, the parents, the fans (such as myself) but most of all to the boys who wear the Mullins Tigers jersey. Our group of boys are very talented, but still have the new season rust which all teams must play through. We though work very hard in practice, preparing for every team we play. I give my hats off to Coach Kidd and the people around him who help create the game plans for this team. He has shown he knows how to take the players he has, get the most out of them. Most importantly though in my opinion, he can make these boys play to the top of there abilities and make them use there abilities together as a team. There is one thing he cannot coach and neither can any other coach, that is heart. The boys on this team have the biggest heart I have every seen. During the game against Wesley, they showed maturity by playing through there sub par first half. They kept there heads on them through a very physical game against Allen Central. They also showed they can play against anyone when they showed up against Betsy Layne. I am proud to call myself a Tiger fan, and though he hurt me to even have to play Betsy Layne considering I am a Betsy Layne graduate, I now bleed orange and blue.

As for Floyd County, I totally support Mike Howard and all of his boys and there parents. His boys are very talented and they play with a sense of urgency that you cannot coach. There parents are very passionate and support there children better then any team I have seen in a very long time. For those of you who do not understand how much that means to a child, I quit playing sports in high school when my parents quit coming to games. Good luck to the Bobcats and I hope you win a fourth straight Floyd County title. The best way to get back at the people whom keep attacking you is to give them the one thing they fear, another dominate year in the county ending with you cutting the nets down.
