How does one purchase tickets for the two games? Thanks.

I've been in a semi-retirement mode of late with respect to BGP, but this topic is worth the effort to dust off my keyboard. When Coach Thomas begins to speak about basketball and particularly when he describes a players abilities, strengths, etc...it is exciting and infectious. I can't imagine kids not wanting to play for him. I suspect that had be been recruiting for Morehead the last couple of years one or two players in the 16th might have stayed closer to home. I hope he gets the job and I wish him every success.

Nice try, Dad. Congratulations Rebecca. A fitting tribute to a wonderul career.

And she follows in some fine footsteps...:thumb: Contratulations to a fine player!!

I grew up on the stuff...and have raised 4 on it!!:thumb:

Yes, Emily has been invited, but she may be in South Carolina at the time. Plans will be finalized within a day or so. Anyone wanting to send a check for $250 to cover her sponsorship can PM me for an address!!!

I have the distinct impression that had we all been seated in a room during the course of this conversation that 3ptshooter would have just leaned slightly towards those of us sitting in the 16th Region section and smiled...ever so wryly. That's a fine idea, my BGP friend.

Nicely put.

If career accomplishments are given greater consideration, then I would agree that Rebecca and Emily are probably the favorites in their class. If the senior season alone is given greater weight, then I believe one would be hard pressed to deny Emily London the honor. What a season for a kid to remember. I'm pleased that at least BGPers...with a few exceptions...give fair consideration to a number of kids. I would think that somewhere there is a good sports writer that would research each girl's career and provide stories about them. Just to be given fair and due consideration would be an honor to remember for any player...and parents and fans would appreciate it.

Two fine folks...

You'd think that after all the back-and-forth on this thread and elsewhere that someone would explain to us, the benighted masses, just what it is the voters attempt to decide when they cast their votes for Miss B. Like you, I'd really like to know. And, hey...who you callin' a dog?!!

I forget where he coaches, 3ptshooter...but he was at BG throughout the weekend and spoke with Emily at Diddle as well as at Warren Central during the All Star game. He introduced himself as one of the coaches...and seems to be a fine fellow.

I repent in sackcloth and ashes. Seriously...sorry if I went too far. I can't say that Emily "deserved" anything. It's a vote and there is no objective criteria by which one can earn it. I've just tried to make the case for those who would have voted differently...myself included. As for repeating myself...I can only say that "repetition is the mother of all learning.";) Most have always been very kind to both girls and I would fully expect that the same kind of recognition will continue. In fact, it was because so many coaches have come to me and have been so complimentary of Emily...during past seasons, this season and at Morehead most recently...that the outcome of the vote was so surprising (I hold a number of them in very high esteem and was genuinely interested in the "why"). Having learned a bit more about the process over the course of the past week...who may vote and how...I've concluded that it's not much to worry about. I see no reason why it would.
