Frances- Sorry to hear about the death of Barney; Don Knotts, I know how much he meant to all of us. You are such a straight shooter and that is why you are well respected. It is always an exciting evening awaiting a post from Frances! You tell it exactly like it is. One or two minutes of play for the 4 seniors to start would have been a kind gesture. Those 4 seniors have played together since the 3rd grade in the Marv Meredith league. Obviously the two that did not get in at all have shown great sportsmanship the entire season, while waiting patiently for a chance to get on the floor, or they would not still be a part of the team cheering them on. Russell is very fortunate to have many juniors that are top notch players. Hopefully, all of them will return next year and they will have another great season. In the past though Russell fans have seen the two seniors that did not play, come off that bench cold as a turkey and get fired up :fire: on the floor before. Senior night won't ever come for those 2 guys again, but it will for upcoming players in the years to come, so the notation of this comment may be worthy. The spectators did notice, many hugged them afterwards and like "TCATfan" said, it would not have made a difference anyway, except to those two boys. They were owed their due respect. Thanks to Frances who often says what others were thinking :thumb:
