Sometimes that can be good thing and sometimes a bad thing. You don't want it to get to out of control. I think that everyone plays hard. All Walton kids have always played hard. As far back as I can remember (Johnny Anderson class of 81). There have been years when Walton has not had as good as talent as in the past but have always played hard. As far as infecting the whole team, let's hope not becasue some kids won't be able to play and will lose all control. Everyone plays hard but without the theatrics.
