Over the Line

BirdBrain, I did read the entire thread and I did see what they could have done. I just don't agree with some of the "could have done's" or what you think "should have been done". I am a little older than most on here and have played a lot of softball. I just think "stepping off" is just as embarrassing to the losing team as 35-0. And just didn't see why everyone got so riled up. And maybe something worse than defending this point, is someone responding to this tiring thread. But then your name is BirdBrain, not mine......

I am not a daily BGP user, but taking advantage of a lazy Tuesday evening logged in to see what was going on in spring sports. Here on the softball forum, I see “PHS 35 Augusta 0” forum and it looked like it had a lot of hits/posts on it. I am from a nearby county and starting reading the posts. Am I missing something here? From checking out little Pendleton County on KHSAA, they have never had a successful softball season, most games in past years only went 3 innings, and yet they are being hung at the cross for defeating Augusta? There is only so many things you can do to keep the score down without making it more embarrassing to the losing team. Is there much difference between 21 runs to 35 runs, when you are not trying to run up the score, but you haven’t reach 3 innings yet? And this is a high school varsity sport not a little league. The posts triggered my interest in that it seems like there is some bad blood or some have it in for the current coaches and/or athletic director. Pendleton County’s roster says 5 out of the 15 players are middle school age girls. Someone posted that they don’t even have a batting cage, which leads me to believe there is not much support for this program, but yet this young team and 1st year coaches are being scorned badly on here. I checked the football scores of Pendleton County for the past several years, and see they were defeated 70-0 and 79-0 by teams like Highlands and Cov Cath. Were these teams ridiculed on BGP for not rolling over and playing dead on the field, even with a running clock? I doubt it!

Looked like to me that MoCo's defense kept Allen from getting the ball as opposed to his teammates.
