I have read all the post on both sites about how much disrespect Shelby Valley had for the David School. Frankly, passing judgement going on hear say is just as disrespectful. I was at that game. Booher started three starters, (M. Riddle, J Bryant, and Johnson). He also started Thomas and J. Justice. Jackson did not play because of illness and C. Riddle was on the bench with a hurt shoulder. Booher played the starters 3 minutes and then took them out and they SAT the rest of the game on the end of the bench cheering for the David School. Contary to some post about the starters going back in. May I repeat myself, they SAT on the end of the bench the rest of the game cheering for the School of David. Booher played very few of his juniors and sophomores. Matter of fact, he played two eighth graders and 3 freshman most of the time. David could not hit the broad side of a barn that night. They took all the shots they wanted to. They made bad passes and threw the ball right into the hands of the Shelby Valley players. Most of the time the Shelby Valley players would move out of the way to let David drive to the goal, only David couldn't put it in the basket. Short of the Valley players sitting down on the court and refusing to play or putting the ball in the goal for David, I see no other way this game could have gone. I am not a big fan of Coach Booher myself, but he was not disrespectful of David. From my point of view, notice I said from my point of view, the boys from Valley did everything they could do to help David score. David could not put the ball in the hole. I might add, all the Shelby Valley fans were also cheering for the school of David. Shelby Valley did not choose to play them twice in a season. They have to because the KSHAA put them in the district with them.
