I agree GOPNATE! No second place trophies should be awarded! People might say it is bad sportsmanship or what not, but if you don't win, you don't win. Plain and simple. And if you don't win, then you lost. You don't need a trophy for losing. These are high school kids which most now a days are men rather than kids. I personally know a player from Paintsville's 2003 team that gave his regional runner up medal to someone that thought more of it than he did. It was an elementary student and that medal means more to him than it would to the player. A second place trophy is just a reminder that you lost!!!
