Thank you for everyone's input. Maybe it is just a lull. I think this horse has been kicked enough for one day.

I bet there are 12-15 boys that are not really having fun playing basketball this year.

 

I do agree that an aspect of it should be kids being kids and the fun of the game, but as adults aren't we supposed to help them into their greatness and victories.

Absolutely!!! As a formal athlete, I had to rely on my coach to get me to practice and games. I did not want this for my kids. Parents have to be more involved. The majority of the Gallatin County kids have played together since they were in 6th grade and the parents of these boys have always been there to get them to practice, games and enter them in the camps. All done with the coaches help! The programs have to start at an early age to build on. There is not a player on the Gallatin Team that doesn't have their parents, grandparents and even some aunt and uncles cheering them on every day With a class A school, there can't be just one stand out athlete to make the team successful. I know Carroll County has youth programs and if the kids stay together than you will be successful again! Best of Luck!:thumb:

It is one thing of getting them to practice and games (year round) and cheering them on and it is another to undermine the coaches and teachers that are giving of their time to help these kids.

I agree, the last game against Carroll and Gallatin, I was sitting right behind the Carroll County bench and the players were very disrespectful of the coaching staff I guess it was just fustration, but it was still wrong.

Going to have to end this post soon and get to Richmond to cheer Coach Mefford and the Lady Panthers on to victory.

Everyone at Gallatin today was talking about going to see the Lady Panthers Play! Best of Luck!
